How DOES normal dating work these days

***disclaimer, I have no interest in dating anybody lol****


I've got this friend, and she's a little nuts. She went on this date, had a great first date.
Now she's trying to set up a second date(not even a week later) dude is like "we'll see" which personally seems pretty normal from what I can remember back when dinosaurs roamed.


And she is flipping out "oh well, onto the next guy..I'm not playing these games"

I don't think this dude is playing games, she probably smothered the poor guy.

Plus she showed up at the first date trying to hide a hickey. lol

oh my...sounds like your friends tryijng too hard and the hickey was probably a red light too...having dated in a LONG time but i bet its frickin difficult!!!!

Well, in my book if a guy say "we'll see", it mean don't think about it. Guy that want to be with you will make the time and will schedule the next date.

I think she has her first and last date with that guy at the same time....

^This. Plus who wants to date a guy who isn't sure he likes them anyway?

Pretty sure at least one of you shows up dressed as a snake.

I was bagged and banded several years back {:blushing: } but from a male point of view, "We'll see means" we will see if I find someone else who I am interested in. The friend needs to back off a little.

He doesn't want to see her anymore, but probably didn't want to be mean about it.

Def think that guy is not interested. Tell her to wait for a guy to "chase" her, then he will feel more in control of the situation. Also tell her to not be so quick to look for a second date - give it at least a week before she calls the guy; if he calls before her than all the better; if he brushes her off after after the week - move on.

I'm not sure there is "normal" dating anymore! I've been with my bf for almost 2 years, so I really don't know... But, I've watched the trials and tribulations of all my friends in these last few years. A lot of it on-line dating (which I think is great, my bf and I met online), but with that comes technology, texts, no phone calls, etc. which is completely different than what used to happen. It has lost a lot of the "personal" touch with emails and text messages. Its also much easier for people to say no, re-schedule, or flake on dates, just a text message away!

If the guy did not ask her out again after the first date, and when she asked him he said "we'll see", then he is not interested. She needs to move on. Tell her to avoid getting hickeys from one guy when planning to go on a date with another guy.

I can understand your friend's comment...that's how I feel not because it's about playing games but she probably figured he wasn't all that interested in her. I find so many men that are already in relationships and sometimes even married, still looking to date. Even when you think you've met a good one, they turn out not to be and I'm not the smothering type.

Artemis_Acorn

It was a single date not a long-term commitment. If he WAS interested, there is a strong possibility that she's freaked him out being pushy and killed any chances that he'll consider any future dates. It's best not to appear desperate...or needy...or controlling...etc. I would say she should back off, and if he's interested, he'll call.

If he doesn't call, then perhaps she can chalk it up to experience and LEARN from it.

This would be the girl to do it.

I've never "dated" traditionally. I hang out with my friends and do whatever I feel like doing. Then I end up falling for a friend, usually. I think "normal" dating is really %^&$#ing weird, personally. Trying to establish a "romantic" connection with a stranger? Weird weird weird.

And as for your friend: b*tches be crazy, yo.
(myself included).

KimmieBrie

Normal dating is the same as it's always been -

1) Go on date
2) one of 3 scenarios: A - both hit it off, B - one thinks was great, but not the other, C - both can't wait to get the h outa there!

Sounds like your friend is in scenario B..... maybe he'll contact her again, but I doubt it.
When it's scenario A - scheduling the 2nd date is easy.

oh yes, she's crazy.
You know those people you just can't stop being friends with because youare too nice.

She's that person.

KindleBlossom

Personally, if it's someone that I can bear to wait a whole week to see again, it probably wasn't a very good connection on the first date. I say good for your friend- why be with a guy who says "we'll see," when you can instead be with a guy who gets weak at the knees when you enter a room? After my first date with my husband, we were pretty inseparable, talking every night on the phone for hours and seeing each other whenever we could (and, believe it or not, we weren't 16). Maybe your friend is just looking for something real, someone who doesn't feel indifferent and jaded about romance, someone who sees her and not her as one of many fish in the sea.

Wouldn't know personally. All I've ran into lately are "ladies" who claim they want a relationship but are really just trying to score free meals from as many guys, concurrently, that they can. When they find out I don't play that game they take off.

The way I think it works now is you log onto myfitnesspal.com and hit up the forums, get on a few crush lists, and voila! You can haz date!

odusgolp

I'd like to know how she's "Trying to set up a second date."

That right there seems... wrong.

LOL didn't get any dates from MFP

Grimmerick

Yeah I am afraid she flubbed this one, if he was interested I really don't think he would have hesitated to make a second date. I think her eagerness is unattractive......................so's the hickey.

Sorry, but he's done with her.

Move on.

stcar

I'd say he's not interested and I personally would never ask a guy out on any kind of date (1st, 2nd, 5th)....men like the chase, not what's laid out in front of them with a neon "pick me please" sign.

Iamfit4life

honestly what 33 year old gets or gives hickeys anymore? Skeevy!

PepeGreggerton

Dating sucks.
