I was on a Zoom call this morning with a client doing a coaching call (it was our third of three). In the first session, we went over his Hinge and Bumble profiles to make sure he was putting his best foot forward, both through the photos and the profile itself. In the second session, we talked about what kinds of messages to send to people in order to get responses. Then, this morning, we talked about some of the dates he’s been on in the last week or two … and it was a lot. (Star client!)
He told me about a specific date he had on Friday. They had dinner and drinks (though I generally give the advice “You can always add dinner, but you can’t take it back”), and it went really well. During the date, they mentioned doing it again, and she texted him that night saying she had made it home safely. Seems like a second date is a sure thing, right? Wrong.
Today, three days after this date, I asked when their second date would be, and he said, “I don’t know if it’ll happen.” I pressed a bit. Why? If the date went so well and you talked about a second date, what would it take to actually get the date on the calendar?
