Keep these points in mind if you still haven't decided what to do with the relationship after your first date. Do not put up a wall! You should be open and honest with your deal-breakers. Do not wait to send a text. Don't be afraid of asking your date if they enjoy your music taste. Relationships can be made or broken by how well the date went.
Communication is key
After a first date, it's a good idea to text her to establish a conversation and show interest. Although you may not feel the immediate need to contact her, this will allow for a conversation and possibly lead to something else. You should be casual and keep your messages light-hearted. Uninterested men will not initiate conversation. It is a great way for you to keep in touch and to continue the conversation. If you are uncomfortable sending him text messages, you can message him via social media. This won't prove as persuasive.
Don't put up a wall on a first date
There is no need to create barriers on a first or subsequent date. Many first dates last less than an hour. This is not enough time to get to know someone well or at all. You want her to be curious about you, but not everything. In fact, women value mystery and intrigue, so don't be afraid to be secretive.
Be honest about your deal-breakers
As a single woman, you can use this information to make your dating life easier and to avoid common pitfalls. Note the traits that make someone a dealbreaker. These can be physical traits, personality traits, or lifestyle choices. It doesn't matter what your truth is, just be honest. This will allow you to avoid wasting your time with someone who isn't compatible with your ideal lifestyle.
Don't wait too long before texting after a first date
The worst mistake to make after a first date is not to text the person. You might feel tempted just to send a message as soon as you return from the date. However, this can come off as being desperate. Waiting at least three or four hours after the date before sending a text will help you avoid making the worst first date mistake. It's your first date, and their impression will last forever.
Don't be afraid to put up a wall if you're anxious
While many people find dating intimidating, being honest with yourself and sharing the true you is essential to making a connection. Openness will show the other person that you are authentic and not trying to hide your feelings. Arlene B. Enger, a Florida psychotherapist, said that nervousness isn't something she was immune to. First dates are no exception. Even though her palms are often clammy and she advises clients to confront their nervousness, and tackle it head-on.

It doesn't matter if you don't know all about him yet, it doesn't mean that you won't enjoy spending quality time with him.
Second, try to keep things lighthearted. Don't take your life too seriously. You can relax if you start to feel anxious. This is supposed be fun!
Third, have a conversation about mutual interests. Ask questions about what they like doing. You should learn as much as you can about each other.
Fourth, listen carefully to what he says. Pay attention to how he speaks. Notice whether he uses words such as "I" or "you." Notice whether he talks fast, or slow. Listen for clues about how he feels about himself and others.
Fifth, ask open-ended questions. Questions that require an answer from both of you. Asking "What music do your like?" is a better way to ask. Ask, "Does classical music appeal to you more than rock/pop?"
Sixth: Pay attention to body language. Look out for signs that he likes to be around you. You can see how he holds your hands when he talks with you. Do you notice any hand gestures? Do you feel comfortable around him? Is he happy? These are all signs that he is interested in you.
Seventh: Watch out for signs that he doesn’t want you. These are the signs you should be paying attention to. Is he sensitive to touch? What happens if you look into his eyes and touch him?
Finally, if you love the person, be sure to kiss him. It's perfectly fine to start kissing him right away.
If you don’t like him, tell he so. Tell him you don't think there is a future between the two of you.
If you can't bear the thought of him dating you, tell him so. Tell him that you don't like him. You might prefer spending your time with someone who shares some of your interests.
It might be a good idea to tell him that you have already met someone.
You could even express your sorrow for him. He probably has some good qualities but hasn't found anyone special yet.
This would be a great thing to do.
