After getting out of a LTR, I decided to try online dating. In the last 4 weeks I've went out with 4 girls and I'm experiencing a reoccurring theme here...

BTW, I'm 38 -- above average looks -- own a software company -- muscles -- tattoos etc.

-- I always meet up for drinks and the girl always stays out for as long as I want to... it's me that tells her I better get going, gotta work tomorrow, blah blah blah.

-- Example positive signals during the dates ... girl takes my straw and uses it.... stands next to me as I'm sitting and shows me something on her phone while pressing up against me... we'll talk about something like a trip [somewhere] and she'll say, "We'll definitely have to go there... I want to show you ______." I make them laugh... crossed legs pointing towards me -- her toe touching my leg... stuff like that.

-- 3 out of the 4 girls texted me after the date -- telling me they had a great time and hope I got home safe...


And guess what? 3 out of the 4 never made it to the second date! I got rejected when I asked for the second date (usually a week later). What the heck am I doing wrong?

They were showing you signs of interest but you didn't escalate and you should've tried to sleep with them that night. So they probably got the impression that you weren't interested enough in them. When girls give you a 'window' you must strike while it is open otherwise when it shuts you are unlikely to get them back. So the moral of the story is always go for first date sex

Is the first contact after the date, a week later?
