Is it common for someone to lose interest right after the first date, and how often does this happen?

Posted

I'd imagine it's quite common for people who initially meet via the internet and then meet in-person. I don't have any hard data though - perhaps another poster will come along with some.

 

Why do you ask?

Of the 20 or so first dates I had in the last year and a half, about three quarters didn't result in a second date. Sometimes I lost interest before the first date was over, and sometimes she wasn't interested in me (and I'm sure sometimes it was mutual but we didn't compare notes). These were people I met via online dating sites.

 

So, it's common for me.

I can't speak for others but it has been very common for me. Though, I wouldn't necessarily call it a failure. In fact, I haven't had a second date in a few years... I've had girls lose interest in me after the first date and I've lost interest in girls after the first date. Just gotta keep trucking on :)
