Why You Didn't Get A Second Date
You are getting ready to meet that handsome guy you met online or through a close friend for that all important first date.

Take Her to a Play: Going together for a movie is a thing of the past. Instead you can plan to take her to a play. They are live and some moments are spontaneously created. The idea is more classy. You can have some good chat with her while watching the play. The best part is, not all plays are houseful, so your privacy is maintained. You can have a dance with her when the music is played. The date can end with a dinner. By the end of it, you will have nothing but good memories.

If you test before your period and it's negative but you still miss a period, you'll retest again in a few days, using another test. What is that going to cost? Well, it depends on the brand, type of test, and how they are packaged. For one generic test at a dollar store, you'll spend—you guessed it—a dollar. For one generic test at a supermarket, pharmacy, or a Target/Walmart, you'll spend up to $3-$4. For name brand tests, you'll spend around $5-$6. Sometimes, generic and name brand tests are packaged in twos and threes and cost anywhere from $10-$15. There are even some packages with four or five tests in them, costing upwards of $20-$25. Of course the manufacturers don't mind if you buy more tests so they can make more money.

Seek to create some suspense on your date by keeping each other guessing. Dating expert Hayley Quinn suggests heading to a cute cafe, neighborhood restaurant or other laid-back locale and communicating solely via sticky notes for 30 minutes. You'll be surprised how much of a better flirt you are when you're literally swapping notes,” Quinn says. You might discover inhibitions taking a back seat when you're writing out your thoughts rather than speaking them directly to each other. Perhaps you'll use the opportunity to discuss a hot topic or maybe swap ideas on what the rest of the evening could bring.

Another tip is to text her your number shortly after you get hers. I find often times girls text ME before I even have a chance to text them. Also, make it witty, I'm gonna kick your butt in pool next week” or whatever you were talking about last. Start it off right.

A few of these, recreation, socialization and companionship, are the main reasons for going on a first date. The rest pertains to steps that occur later on in the dating process or in a relationship. Getting to know someone, having fun, and becoming a friend of a particular person is half of the reason why people date. The other emotional, romantic half is not usually the main focus during a first date.

The above are only some of the common problems. Now, you may say "well, it's ok; if the problems become too much I will simply change my girlfriend", but if you have ever dated a Chinese girl before you will know this is much easier said than done. And the truth is, by that time compared to other girls you have dated before, you may consider your Chinese girlfriend close to perfect in most other ways, but those problems just won't go away by themselves, and don't imagine a one time conversation about these issues will change anything, because more often than not, they won't. Not unless of course she can change her whole basic psychology (not really a possibility by the way).

While boots in general tend to really complement a semi-formal look, a nice pair can be really pricey (ranging anywhere from $80-$170). Business casual sneakers, on the other hand, can be pricey as well but the cheaper ones fall into the $70-$90 range and still look great.

Girls and guys are both sensitive in their own way, but men take time to open up. Most guys are not comfortable when women display too much emotions, especially if they barely know you. So avoid any kind of emotional topics such as your previous relationships, some hardships that you had to face in life, etc.
