Anyway I made my moved and kissed her. We made out for a little and then I just pulled away and said “it was nice meeting you”. She yelled for me to text her when I get back.
Does this sound like a failed first date to you? Just gotta keep going with the flow and remember to text her! She's definitely into you but wants to take it slower than sex on the first date

Should I text her tonight like she said, or wait a bit?
[–]CaptainOfMyJohnson 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I'd text her, mainly because she asked you to text her tonight, but don't feel like you have to text for hours and hours unless you both want to. Just talk, flirt, and maybe get some ideas for a second date if it works naturally into the Convo (she mentions she likes quirky bars that have gimmicks or something, look up one and ask her if she's free on whatever night you pick

texted her “fun night. Let’s do it again soon”. She texted back “It was fun 😁”

Good God mate. Give her some space. Text tomorrow and say you had a good time.
Not everyone wants to go to your house on the first date.

You don't need advice
Thanks I guess, but just wanted feedback for what I did and didn’t do right.

Don't get needy and desperate bro.

Okay well at age 26 EVERYONE knows what you mean when you are invited over to the other persons house. Considering this was your first date, I’d say you moved waaay too fast with that one. The kiss was fine, but asking her to your house is a bit much on a first date. UNLESS all you want from her is sex. If that’s the only thing you want then you can continue to try your advances but they probably won’t work (unless of course that’s all she’s interested in). But if you are actually interested in this girl you really gotta chill with the “Netflix and chill” vibes or else your scare her away by moving to fast for sex. The best relationships usually start off slow. But also when she called u a bad influence, she was really telling you that she has morals and responsibilities and didn’t want too much to happen that night. That includes getting too drunk to go to work the next day and having sex.. In my opinion, she isn’t looking for a quick fuck. She’s looking for a real relationship. BUUUT the fact that she told u to text her later means she liked you and would like to see you again… (probably not for sex tho.. just saying lol)

Idk when she was saying I’m bad influence she kept doing it while laughing and in this jokey tone. You know how when someone jokingly says “omg stop” but wants you to keep going? It was like that kind of a thing. Plus she kept telling me how she always is late for work and they don’t care.
[–]Yunngjedi 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Well yeah she may have been joking about it but the fact that she said it means there was a thought that crossed her mind that kind of implies that she thinks it really wouldn’t be in her best interest to do so. She was laughing and joking about it becuz you guys just met. So of course she doesn’t really think you’re a complete bad influence. But she was really hinting “yeah that sounds fun maybe some other time, but would rather not go into work too drunk”. Try not too push too much after a woman denies something. After you insist a second time and she still says no DO NOT go any further with the idea. A third time is too pushy and can start to freak her out. That goes with everything ESPECIALLY sex.

What the fuck?
What?
[–]goatinyourmoat 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
That sounds like it went pretty well, especially if it's your first ever date. Don't rush the process of getting better at dates. Also, bringing her back to your place on the first night is not the hallmark of a good date and even your best game won't be guaranteed to make that happen depending on the girl and the situation of the night. Just enjoy the process, and let yourself grow into getting better at having fun nights out. If you like her, text her and follow-up for the second date. Second date is way easier with the comfort you established on the first date for whatever direction you're trying to move in.

Christ I wish I could use dating apps...must be nice.

They're easily better than nothing. Guys who can use dating apps have a privilege and don't even recognize it smh
[–]shittyfuckdick 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
What are you talking about? Why can’t you use it?
[–]thelambofdeth -2 points-1 points0 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Bc I don't look like Andrew Garfield or Armie Hammer.
[–]thelambofdeth -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Um...no. You're either good looking or you're not. I've worked on every physical aspect of myself, but none of that compensates for having the "right" face. There's so much competition on OLD unless you're the very best looking, women literally won't even look at your profile bc they have SO many options. Even the ugly ones gets hundreds of matches. It's more like be white and be good-looking or you literally have no chance for even an opportunity.

[–]thelambofdeth 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
WTF is Fb one?
[–]loolwut 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Sorry the Facebook dating thing
Good for you two, I guess
[–]nomadiclives 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I think you did fine. I would recommend not waiting till the end of a date for a kiss if you are feeling the vibe earlier. You don’t have to full on make out with someone at a bar but a kiss at some point through the date is a good way to build some yearning and tension for more later. And I’d almost never ask someone home before I’ve kissed them and I know they are into it.
Like kiss at the bar? It feels weird trying that. Especially cause if she rejects it I have to continue with the date.
[–]nomadiclives 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This is what the escalation ladder exists for - gradually crank up the physical touch and calibrate according to their response. What’s the point of fearing rejection? How is getting rejected at the end of a date better than getting rejected midway? I’ve never had the experience of being rejected for a kiss, mostly coz it’s not a big deal - this person is out on a date with you, which means there is at least some attraction and curiosity. If they stop you, they’ll give you a reason - either to slow it down (in which case, listen/calibrate) or coz they are not attracted to you (in which case, what is the point of stretching out this interaction)? In my experience, the more experience you gain at dating, the better you get at reading when your date will be receptive to a kiss or not and confidence is sexy! Women, in particular (generalization), dig a man who leads. If you don’t trust your instincts just yet, you can also say some variation of “I really want to kiss you now, but I also believe in explicit consent, so would you like to kiss me too?” This is unusual but will win you a lot of goodwill. I think you can be sexy and confident without being pushy - the whole point is not to get hung up on all this stuff.
If you do it earlier, it will increase your chances of escalating it further on the same date. If you do it at the end, it’s not so bad either, but you’re putting a lot of pressure on yourself and it could also sound/feel like a goodbye. a lot of girls will just kiss you once even if they aren’t feeling it, coz it’s the easier thing to do than saying no and you’ll never see them again.

Ya and text her
I did. See my update
[–]AloofusMaximus 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
After a couple hours I suggested another bar but she said she had work in the morning.
So I don't tend to run first dates that long, I keep to about 90 minutes tops. Otherwise good, I always do drinks for a first date.
She said she didn’t want to drive back so I mentioned she could come back to mine for drink, which she declined.
When that happens, no worries. Women aren't stupid they know what that means. As long as you don't react badly there, it's not going to hurt you.
In fact the last girl that came home with me, initially declined. She then texted me before I got to the first red light something like "that offer for a drink still good?".
Anyway I made my moved and kissed her. We made out for a little and then I just pulled away and said “it was nice meeting you”.
So I don't kiss a woman, unless I'm reasonable sure we're going to have sex. Kissing is sexual escalation in my view.
I'm not sure if it's just a weird anecdote, but women I've kissed on a date and DIDN'T end up sleeping with, I didn't end up sleeping with ever (or seeing them again typically).
All in all sounds like you did pretty well. There's much worse first date stories out there. Now you just need to meet up with her again.
