How understanding should you be (if at all) when a guy blows you off after the 2nd date as opposed to letting you know he changed his mind about a possible 3rd date?

Don't underestimate peoples' intelligence. Embellishing your profile page might get you a first date, but that's usually it.

It's not necessary to send a formal 'break up' notice after only 3 dates....especially when a 4th date has yet to be discussed!

Matchmaking Moral
Honesty is important when getting to know someone. If you make it to a 3rd date, you should know certain things, like if the other person has been (or is still) married, has kids or shares a house with an ex.

It's never a good idea to have a first date at your place of residence (or the other person's place of residence). The last thing you want to do is be trapped at someone's house or have to kick someone out of your place. That's never fun.

Don't try to force a relationship with someone when deep down you know it won't work out.

Guys, most woman probably don't want their first date to be a constant debate. I didn't like debating in high school and I don't like it now.
Note to self: It's probably not a good idea to pick a favorite restaurant for a first date. No reason to risk ruining a good place with a potentially bad date.

Guys, please, please, PLEASE remove all dental apparatus BEFORE going on a date. I realize this comes as common sense to most people, but apparently there are exceptions out there!

Note to self: Probably not a great idea to get too drunk on a first date. Also, when consuming a large volume of wine try to remember at some point to order food.

Rating System Key

  • -1 point= if he talks about past relationships
  • -2 points= if he lied about his height (I'm tall I can tell)
  • -2 points= if he is less attractive than his profile picture
  • -2 points= if he talks about himself too much
  • -3 points= if he is not engaging in conversation
  • +1 point= if he gives an appropriate 'goodbye' (depending on how the date went)
  • +1 point= if he offers to pay (relax people, I'm not insinuating he SHOULD be expected to pay, but it's nice if he offers)
  • +2 points= if he is more attractive than his profile picture
  • +1 point=if he is complimentary
  • +2 points=if he has a good sense of humor
  • +3 points= if he is engaging in conversation

About Me

My photo
thpinkcity
Washington, D.C., United States
I have been living in Washington, D.C. for over 6 years and while I love the city I've found dating to be somewhat frustrating. After many failed attempts at forming sustainable relationships from inebriated bar hookups, I took the plunge into online dating in November of 2008. I thought it would be cathartic and (hopefully) helpful to start a blog detailing some of the experiences I have had (and am still having) in my ongoing marathon to find a match.
