Take a moment for a thorough post-analysis of the first date. Reflect on signals, conversation dynamics, and any potential red flags. Understanding the connection from both perspectives is crucial.

2. Keep it Simple:

When contemplating how to ask for a second date, simplicity is key. Express that you enjoyed the first date and would like to see them again. Keep it laid-back, considering it's still the early stages of your connection.

3. Perfect Timing:

Timing matters. Aim to ask for a second date within 0-5 days to maintain the spark. Consider emotional availability and mutual readiness when determining the right moment.

4. Have a Plan:

Anticipate a positive response by having a second date idea in mind. Being prepared with suggestions demonstrates enthusiasm and thoughtfulness.

Examples for Various Dynamics

Confident Approach:

"You. Me. Friday Night. Underground sushi bar. You in?"

"So, I've got two tickets to see The Weeknd next Saturday and no one to share them with… any ideas :)"

Casual and Natural:

"Had a lot of fun the other day! I’d love to meet up again sometime. Are you around next week?"

Slip a note with checkboxes for "Second date? Yes, No, Maybe" for a low-key in-person approach.

Avoiding Desperation:

"Hey.. I had fun hanging out the other day. Would you like to do it again sometime if you’re into it?"

"Heading to [popular bar] this weekend with friends. Keen to join?"

"I’m watching the new Christopher Nolan film tomorrow. Want to join me, or have you seen it?"

Remember, honesty, openness, and directness are your allies. Don't overthink it, and simply make your move. If you're seeking meaningful connections, sign up today and embark on a journey towards authentic, lasting connections.

Coaching Testimonial

"My online love inspiration angel"

Submitted by: Patricia, USA, 21

To be honest, in the beginning, I thought it would be a waste of time. But since I've never seen a similar service in any other dating site, I decided to give it a try.

I always "thought" my profile was on point and I did not need any help to correct my page. I always had in my profile if someone is not attracted to my profile, then that's "their" loss.

BOY WAS I WRONG!!

I will never forget my first time using the Coaching Service I was introduced to my personal Dating Coach. Let me put it this way, if it was not for her I would have given up long time ago (even though I'm a new member).

She taught me so many things and gave me good advice, I did not want to stop chatting with her at all.

She opened my eyes to many possibilities when finding love. She is definitely an inspiration and I appreciate a whole lot. She is more than a Dating Coach to me; she is more of a close friend/guide to me. She is definitely my "online love-inspiration angel".
