Did the Coffee Date Go Well?

You finally meet your online match or blind date at a coffee shop, and you think it went well, but then… he doesn’t call. Or email. Or maybe even, he leaves early. He seemed to like you, but how do you know? More than that, how can you tell if he’s worth a second date? Here are some tips.

He Came on Time

If a guy is late and doesn’t apologize, that’s a bad sign. Everyone has bad moments, and things can happen, but if he acts like his time is more valuable than yours, that just isn’t good. If he arrives more than ten minutes late and walks in without a word, he could be too inconsiderate to go out with again.

He Focused on You

If a guy is looking around constantly and can’t seem to focus on you, it could be sign that he isn’t into you. When a guy likes you he smiles at you, listens to what you have to say, tries to look into your eyes. He focuses on you. You. Not the chick behind the coffee counter, not the guy that’s talking about the football game, and not his Blackberry.

He Stays for an Hour

Coffee dates should be set up in advance to be about an hour. Ideally, both of you should stay the hour and use it to get to know your potential partner a little better. But if he just ups and leaves after twenty minutes? He’s not interested.

These are some of the signs that you should move on to another guy. Hey, if he didn’t like you, that’s his problem. What’s not to like?
