What is an appropriate time to wait before asking for a second date?

If the date went that well you wouldn’t have been remiss to ask for a second date at the end of the first date.

Call already! Don’t play games, if you are interested, want to talk or see her, call her within a day or two. Now she’s wondering why you haven’t called her.

Don’t seem too eager but don’t ignore her. In the beginning it is good to make her want more, you know? It is also nice to know that he is interested. Don’t jump in feet first and start running toward a finish line, that scares the hell out of me personally. If there is something there then she will be interested, just don’t act too eager. Always leave her feeling good about herself and let her know you want to know more about her. Once things get going in the right direction then call and keep it going! Don’t play games if you know you really want more. Good luck!

@tranquilsea Haha. I took a cue from Dazed and Confused, and said “maybe we can do it again sometime.” I hope that doesn’t make me seem like an a$$?

@gravity Thanks =)

A week is too long. She may be wondering why you haven’t contacted her. Personally, I’d have asked for a second date at the end of the first, maybe not scheduling a time, but seeing if there was interest. Then I’d have called a couple days later.

Go get her!

it really depends on the girl, but most of my friends like contact almost everyday. A text or a short call or something. That way the girl isn’t all worried that you forgot about them. She might also worry that you didn’t like the first date. So a week is just the right amount of time to wait before asking for a second. Do it now or she might get insulted!

I second @tranquilsea. My current boyfriend set up date #2 at the end of date #1. And second @cockswain. If it has been almost a week she’s probably going nuts trying to figure out what she did wrong. Call her!

A week is way too long if the first date went well. It is like saying she doesn’t matter to you at all. The second date can be scheduled for some far off point, but if you are interested, waiting to long gives her time to move on.

@athensagriffin Thank you. This is why I love fluther

Oh God, the dating game… irritating and childish, to say the least. Don’t play games, man. There is no waiting period required if someone strikes your fancy. At the end of that first date, if it was so great, you should have told her “I had a great time, may I see you again?”

There’s no need to wait a week or two weeks, just let her know, without being skeevy, that you’re interested. She’ll let you know if she’s not. It’s that simple.

I don’t think women lose interest. They just decide that a man who is too lazy or into playing a game to schedule a date promptly isn’t worth their time.
The best time to ask for a second date is as soon as you decide you’d like to take her out on one.
