Many first dates,few 2nd dates

    In the last year i have had 10 dates with 10 women.

    All but one resulted in a 2nd date.

    Of the remaining 9 i asked 3 others out on a 2nd date.

    2 of them i only asked out for a 2nd date as there was nothing wrong with themn as opposed to me really fancying them - but i figured why not give it a go.
    The other one i did like a lot - she was nearly on for it but ultimately didn't take on teh 2nd date.

    I am just wondering how does this tally with other peoples experiences?
    I don't think i am doing anything particularly wrong on teh dates.
    I just think teh chemistry hasn't been there - hence the lack of 2nd dates.
    (Saying that perhaps i am doing something wrong)

    10 dates is a bit of a milestone round number though so i'm kind of assessing it at this point and i have to say if someone told me last year i wouold date 10 different women i would have assumed to have more success than i actually did have.

    Is one 2nd date out of 10 dates normal? I'm thinking it has to be below average.

    Well, first of all, I don't think you should worry about it. Like, it's not like you had 10 dates with 10 women that you really liked and didn't get a second date
    Most of the women, it sounds like you weren't really interested in anyway, so only thing that's been harmed is your ego.

    Personally, I've had about 4/5 dates in the past year. Only one of those with a girl i really liked. Went on a few dates with her, but she wasn't interested after that. Of the others, I didn't ask them out again as I just wasn't interested.

    Who cares really? All that really matters is finding one person. I know how you feel though. You can often end up questioning yourself when you find you aren't having much luck. Especially when it's hard enough to meet someone in the first place, and then it ends up not working out

    Ya. I'm not worried about it to be honest.

    I think i'm more surprised and remarked on it to myself as 10 is a bit of a landmark figure.

    I guess i'm just curious as to how this stat compares against other peoples experiences.
