OK, maybe getting such advice here on PoF isn't exactly asking the Oracle at Delphi, either, but at least you get multiple viewpoints. Go ahead and ask him for date number 3, he is almost sure to appreciate that!! I don't want to look like I'm chasing him, but I also don't want him to think I'm not interested because I don't ask him out either. I think you have to go by the interest level he has shown you this far and your gut. If he spends the entire time talking about himself and doesn't once ask about you. He makes you laugh. I have listened and used all of the advice you gave. What exactly are you waiting on. And does it appear he's interested or social me along untill something better shows up or just taking things slow. Thanks for another great topic. But now, rather than meet with a rep at the bottom of the corporate food chain go with the analogy here, peopleyou have to pass muster with the Vice Pan of HR. If this has happened to you, you know how disappointing it can be. But I feel a bit better now, after reading your replies. Should she never initiate until they're in a relationship. Often these are unfortunately not the guys you tout to hear from so lots of single women spend a lot of time and energy wondering what they can do to make the men they do like more interested in them after a date which is a waste of time and energy. Which may or may not be true. Piece some basic intuition and sense of tact. How to Get a Third Date - I will buy your last 3 cases of the crappy girl scout cookies if you just please go to dinner with me... Every time I start to obsess or get emotional now, I take a deep breath and go reread your. On one of the dates we had lunch. The other date, I broke the mirroring rule. When I purchased tickets to the symphony a month ago I figured I would just end up dragging my son along with me. Instead I invited one of the guys a couple of days after our first date. We went, and we had a good time. These are VIP box seats with preferred parking etc. If he texts, text him back. If he says he wants to get together with you, say you want to get together with him. If he calls, call him back. If he texts, text him back. If he says he wants to get together with you, say you want to get together with him. Men who are interested follow up right away. Often these are unfortunately not the guys you want to hear from so lots of single women spend a lot of time and energy wondering what they can do to make the men they do like more interested in them after a date which is a waste of time and energy. A lot of women really seem to struggle to grasp that point for some reason. She should have plans made, and if one of the men contacts her last-minute, then that is his loss if she is not available. When a man has been interested in me, he will either make plans at the end of the date or within 2-3 days after. You know the old rule about a man calling by Wednesday for a Saturday night date? I still follow that. I firmly believe that we teach others how to treat us. If I have to be the initiator, or if I accept last-minute planning, then I am further reinforcing the guy not to initiate, and not to make plans with enough advance notice. Waiting it out is always better. I have to admit that I kind of hate these rules, and here I am endorsing them, but they do tend to work with most guys most of the time. Most of the women reading and posting here are educated go-getters and it can feel unnatural to suddenly have to switch to playing a more passive, receptive role. I empathise with every woman reading this who wants to take initiative, plan and make things happen. I hope the original poster will take a girlfriend, instead. I do this by asking myself one question… Do I want to feel chosen when I am out with this guy? The honest answer is YES! That brings me back to my senses pretty quick. When I lead, I feel insecure and uncertain…yuk! Think its wise to have a zen like outlook of observation without attachment while being warm and gracious. Thanks for another great topic! I empathise with every woman reading this who wants to take initiative, plan and make things happen. Perhaps you could suggest a particular activity, but only after he initiated it. While I continue to struggle with it, the whole mirroring principle makes so much sense. Thanks so much Evan. Your wisdom is over the top all the time. Evan, after purchasing your e-book and reading it all in one night, I have become a much sought after woman. I have listened and used all of the advice you gave. Everything you said works! I finally got it. Thank you so very much for all the advice you continue to give. If he says yes he probably has at least a remote interest anyway, right? In fact, when we go for lunch or dinner together, a check grabbing fight usually ensues, with EACH of insisting on treating the other. I usually have MORE fun out with a GF than I do with a man I have just recently met. And I have a great time out with my girlfriends, in some cases, more so than with a new man No awkwardness, no wondering if I should do this or that, should have worn this or that, should or should not have said this, that and the other, and absolutely NO PRESSURE for sex at the end of the evening ;. Maybe before trying to find a boyfriend, you should learn to be a better girlfriend to your girlfriends. Letting him initiate is indeed one necessary but not sufficient way to discover his level of interest in the early stage of dating. For a while in my twenties I made the mistake of not respecting this basic advice and wasted my time and energy on a few 2-3 months flings because of it. Dating is not about making friends. Sure way to end up in fantasy land. This can be frustrating. I have had men complain to me that they are expected to do all the initiating, have to face rejection over and over while women just wait to be pursued. These men said they have really appreciated it when a woman showed interest in them or made some plans or move, and it took all the pressure off of him. They also said they liked it when a woman called them. In fact, I know of two women with men that they pursued after the initial meeting and one is married to said man. Yet, I think this is rare and it is indeed best to mirror the man and let him pursue. He stopped working and allowed me to support him for ten years. He sat at home and waited for me to plan his and our social lives. He was depressed and lethargic. In essence, I am in a neutral, hopeful state. I dated an old friend of mine for a few months where we fell into that pattern. Oh and get this: he allowed me to make plans for our weekends together. If he likes her, he should be following up with an activity of his own, especially since symphony tickets are not cheap. But to ask him out yet another time would make her seem needy, pushy, or even desperate. My advice for Meredith would be to start asking friends to go with you. If all else fails, go to the concert alone! I speak from experience. And I was too scared to go alone. It took some time but I made new friends who I can generally rely to go to events with me. Or I just go by myself. The bonus is that once you are confident enough and have a strong enough social circle to not need a date to an event, it becomes much easier to stick to mirroring. That being said, there are a few things to keep in mind. When you mirror, show some enthusiasm and passion. When a woman responds 36 hours later with a 5 word text it is difficult to feel that she is showing anything but one step above indifference. Men do have to take the initiative — just remember that men face rejection day after day. If you are interested, drop some not so subtle hints. There is an exception to every rule…. I'm still dealing with issues internally of fear and past experiences, as is he. But we can talk about these things and know that we have something special. All I did was say yes. It's a relief to know I have options. But really, I'm very, very much in love. THIS is the relationship I want, and I have it! Working with Evan has helped me to really value myself and to be myself when I am dating.
