dating 101: 2nd date

As promised, here is the next section in dating 101.

The question is what do you do after date 1, if you want a date 2?

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT immediately text, call, or email your date as soon as you get home. I don't care how great of a time you had, it again says you're trying to hard. You also usually get a STRIKE 1. (if you haven't already gotten a strike of some kind) Although, if I really like you, I'll probably let it slide, and if you were a "maybe", you'll probably move closer to the "no" column.

The next day, it is ok to send a "I had a great time" message of some sorts. This could be a call, a text, or an email. It let's us know a) you had a good time b) you're thinking about us c) you're thoughtful.

If you want to pursue things further do not wait more than 3 days to call her. If you do wait more than 3 days, you will get a STRIKE. Really 2 days is the perfect time, especially if you sent a message the day after saying you enjoyed it.

If you plan on asking her out for the next weekend, do it before Thursday. If you wait until after then, it says we weren't important enough to put in stone. It says you wanted to wait and make sure "nothing better came available".
