How do you know when a first date went well?

That American dating system is so confusing. Try the British system where you meet someone, go to bed, get jiggy then pluck up the courage to ask them on a date over bacon and eggs in the morning.

I concur. I think I need to move...:drinker:

I do know that my date was in LA. I was just wondering the plausibility of the story about meeting his friend.

What the hell, dude? You just met this guy and you're already suspecting him of lying about simple things like this?

When it's 14 years later and I'm married with two kids. I guess it was alright.

all things sound promising, but he should have said he would have to cut it short up front.

No no, if there was pity the first hug would've been enough. I say the second hug was a reassurance, or maybe he just wanted to feel your arms around him again. Two and a half hours talking and two (I assume) great hugs, makes a wonderful first date!

He left you wanting more didn't he..? Sounds promising to me...

'he told me'

You were on a date with another guy.............................right?!?

So what?

Just checking to make sure I had it right. I'll leave you to it............!!

way to make yourself sound like a complete asshat! Ugh youre gross.

OP, I def wouldn't stay with someone long after the bill is given if I didnt like them. Always give themthe benefitof the doubt, you are still new to him and he probably truly wanted to hang with a old buddy. Shoot him off a text and see how it is received, good luck sweetie! xoxo

** I guess his rude comment got deleted, thank goodness!!**

asshat...that just made my morning! And I agree, it sounds like it went really well so the friend thing is probably legit. Hope it works out, keep us posted!

When I wake up dehydrated in the previous night's clothes?

It sounds like it went great! When it's hard to leave and hard to stop talking, it is a really good sign. The last first date I ever had lasted 14 hours (we wern't naughty, I swear!!). We just couldn't stop talking. That was 3 years ago and my husband and I haven't been apart since I wish you the same happiness!!

Well from the way I'm picturing it from your description is that yes it did and your date likes you! Couldn't imagine someone going in for a second hug with someone they didn't want to

It's LA. I think he probably has cause to at least recognize the possibility

It really depends on the guy, though. Keep lines of communication open without looking needy and neurotic and you should get a better feel for how he thought the date went.

Yeah, don't be a Carrie Bradshaw about it (quite possibly the most irritating TV character EVER), but definitely keep communication lines open. Like we all said though, it sounds like it went well!

And yeah, in LA it's hard to know who to trust so being weary is going to happen.

Sounds like it went fine. Send him a text telling him you had a good time.

Well suspecting of lying is a bit strong. I don't really consider making excuses to prevent hurting another person by telling the truth to be really lying.

I know everyone is being positive, but if I didn't know in advance that he had to leave, I'd be unimpressed and wouldn't be asking for a second date. But I'm a big b#tch. Let him come to you.

LOL I hear ya. I should point out that on parting we did discuss meeting again sometime next weekend. Though of course that needn't mean anything either.

Ok. Lets put it this way...

If it were a BAD date and it lasted 2.5 hours, you would KNOW it, right? So...
