How To Ask For A Second Date (And How Soon You Should Ask For One)

Posted by Valentine Belue on Friday, June 7, 2024

If you're looking for the simplest way to get that all-important second date, look no further. Dating coach Amy Nobile explained to Bumble that "dating rules" often create more stress and confusion. Instead of overcomplicating things, she encourages people to trust their gut and do what feels right at the moment. If your date was amazing, don't be afraid to say that out loud. If anything, it will ease your date's nerves as well.

Psychologist Jordan Rullo also spoke with Bumble, expressing that healthy communication is essential when it comes to building a solid relationship, but there is no need to add pressure or make things more stressful than they need to be. Instead of nailing down the specifics of a second date, simply mentioning that you want to see them again reassures your date without putting them on the spot.

Another great way to casually bring up a second date idea is to think about what you discussed on the first date. If the two of you bonded over your love of animals, you might naturally think to mention going to the zoo together sometime. Integrating this idea into the flow of a conversation allows your date to see your intentions without getting too vulnerable.
