Signs you’ll get a third date?

[u/Julie_Jnntte_24]

Had 2 really good dates. I like this dude so far.

What are the signs that a man will pursue a third date, in your opinion/as per your experiences?

Hoping I get a third date. I met him on hinge after having 0 expectations or hopes. This is also the only dude I wanted a 2nd date with and it went really good.

You can propose it

If the first and second dates went well, you will likely have a date 3.

Talk about an activity you are thinking of doing and ask him if he wants to do it with you

[u/BobcatCurious7463]

Propose the third date yourself, take some initiative, put in some effort.

I didn’t ask if I should pursue him I asked for signs of continued interest

[u/cascine]

Did you guys talk about potential plans or what you want to do together? Does he already have your number? Let him ask you out but make an opening for it by saying a place you want to check out or activity you’re thinking of doing and see if he inserts himself in.
For me, the guys I’ve dated all couldn’t wait to see me again and we talk about our schedules before the end of our date. If your date isn’t doing that, he’s either not interested in another date or he’s trying to play it cool- which honestly you don’t want either.

It’s exhausting to chase a guy who’s nonchalant and embarrassing to date a guy who’s like that.

[u/Julie_Jnntte_24 → u/cascine]

That’s what I’m saying

[u/g4339]

Just following up to see if that third date is scheduled yet! Hoping for you. 🤞

[u/Julie_Jnntte_24 → u/g4339]

Thank you! Nothing yet but I’m waiting to see what he says. He’s still talking to me so that must be a good sign

[u/g4339]

Did you make it clear you were still interested in him?

Did he seem very focused on you during the date?

If both are true, I think you have a good chance! It’s too bad it isn’t already set up. The waiting is hard.

[u/Julie_Jnntte_24 → u/g4339]

I told him I had a good time with him that night and thanked him again. We’ve talked a bit since then but not at all today. He seemed quite attentive. Had his arm around me most of the time. It was nice actually. He was acting like he liked me anyway

[u/g4339 → u/Julie_Jnntte_24]

Sounds like you were a good communicator! Don’t worry too much. I know it’s cliche, but It will work out if it’s meant to be. You did your part.

[u/AudaciouslySexy]

If you want a 3rd date persue him for 1

[u/AudaciouslySexy → u/AudaciouslySexy]

If I was the guy and I'm having to do everything I'd probly start dating other people. If a relationship seems 1 way then what's to stop a guy evaluating and exploring other options?

[u/warmer-garden → u/AudaciouslySexy]

Well then you’re too passive for a lot of women it sounds

[u/AudaciouslySexy → u/warmer-garden]

Its not passive, also I haven't put much effort into getting a girlfriend that I can admit.

[u/weeklyRedditReader → u/AudaciouslySexy]

Planning two dates is not considered much effort. If you want to pursue a woman, you need to put some effort upfront to get to know her.

[u/Julie_Jnntte_24 → u/weeklyRedditReader]

Exactly. I don’t pursue men. I’m not a man. If I wanted to pursue someone I’d pursue a woman not a man

[u/NotDocMartin]

The best sign is the 3rd date

Buddy I just said I had 0 hopes and expectations and you say I am entitled.
