Hey all. I'm looking for some professional critiquing of my blind date last week. It was a blind date setup by a mutual friend, so it's like we are truly meeting for the first time.
I did get her # a few days prior to our meeting. She preferred texting, so that's what I did. We texted for about 3 days straight before our first date. They were very engaging and she always asked a follow-up question. She even stated she loves to txt all day long.
We meet on Monday. The first date lasted about 4 hours. We had drinks a bite to eat a local bar.
I thought the date went very well. It was riled with IOIs.
The first 20-30 mins she fumbled with her ring.
Anytime we spoke, our eyes were locked the entire time (I actually looked away a couple of times as a test).
As the date progressed, I got the head tilt with neck exposure. She laid her head on her hand for a decent portion of the date.
We never had a pause in conversation. If I finished with my sentence, she was quick to move on to something else.
About 3/4 through the date, she couldn't' stop fumbling with her left earing.
When we walked back to the parking lot, she was walking very close to me. She was in my personal space.
We agreed the date was great, and we wanted to see each other again. The date ended with a sincere hug.
I txt'd her the next morning asking how her morning went and she responded. I told her I had a great time and she said she had a great time too. I said I like to meet up again. No response.
I waited a full day and txt'd her the following morning. She said her day was extremely busy, but asked how my day was. I told her. No response.
I txt'd her the next morning asking where she was going to be at a certain time on Sunday (we both were going to attend a race that morning). No response. That was my last txt. It was last Friday.
I'm going to take a wild guess and say she had another date with someone else and ended up going that route.
Let me ask this question: Do you think I screwed up by not closing the date out with a kiss or something more aggressive? Do you think my passive ending to a date filled with IOIs sealed my fate? I thought by being passive, it would lead to her waiting more on the next date.
If that's the case, I feel kinda crummy that I wasted a great first date.
If anyone needs any additional info, please ask away.
Thanks.
Always go for a kiss, if not more if you think the date is going well. Sounds like she isn't interested.
