Hi, I’m very new to this. This is my first time online dating…

During my date, I noticed something that caught me off guard. At the beginning, the guy was looking directly at me quite intensely. At one point, I was looking down at the menu, and when I looked up, he was still looking right at me — very focused, but without much expression.

It felt new to me because I don’t usually catch men looking at me that intensely. I wasn’t sure how to interpret it. ( I’m bubbly personality and love to smile)

I also realize he lick his lips a few times, maybe it’s dryness.

**What does that usually mean?**

So, I went on one date with a guy and few days later he went on another date with someone else and had an amazing time. He made a clean cut and wants to focus all his energy on this one.

I’m suspecting this isn’t the first date with the Sunday gal and they already had a momentum previous?

Im asking this is because, we had a lot of alignment during our times, and i was much align with the type he was looking for , so it was very abrupt to get cutoff so cleanly. Do people really stop seeing everyone else after 1 date?

If you were dating two girls at the same time and liked both, but one just slightly more than the other, what made the difference?

Was it something specific about her personality, or something that happened during the date?

Have you experienced dates where someone was checking you out like this.

Also, I’d love some advice on outfits. I wore a jacket over a tube top, so my figure wasn’t really visible.

**Do you think it’s better to wear something that shows a bit more of your silhouette on a first date?*

I went on a date with a guy and we had a lot of alignment — similar interests, easy conversation, good overall vibe. I will say I was a bit more reserved in showing my interest because I usually like to take a bit of time to get to know someone before opening up more.

A few days later, he sent me a message saying he had a great date with someone else and wanted to focus his energy there. Totally fair, and I responded politely and wished him well.

I guess what’s been sitting with me is that it felt a bit… incomplete? Like I didn’t fully get to show all the parts of myself that I think we might’ve connected on if we had more time.

It also made me realize how quickly people make decisions in modern dating, which I’m not super used to.

So I’m curious — do guys like this ever come back? Or once they make a decision that quickly, do they usually just stick with it? (Not desperate, just curiosity)

Hi, I’m 30F and just got out of a very long‑term relationship, so I’m brand new to dating again. I’ve only been on one date so far, but it made me curious: from a man’s perspective, what makes an amazing first date?

He asked thoughtful questions about relationships, my childhood, and myself, which I really appreciated—but I realized how rusty I am. It took me time to answer, and later I kept thinking of things I wished I’d added. No one’s asked me questions like that in a long time (except maybe my therapist).

TL;DR: First date after a long relationship made me realize I might be out of practice at talking about myself. Curious what men actually consider a great date. Do I need to prep for date interview...?
