It is easy to understand that when you meet someone and you like him/her, you'd like to see this person again as soon as possible. But sometimes, well many times, dating is not that easy. Who would have known that the day after the first date, he got promoted and for a week his life revolved around the office with work stuff? If he really likes you and really wants to see you again but genuinely busy and kind of impossible to spare a 2-hour dinner for a second date, he'll call you or text you to let you know that he's still want to meet you but probably not during that crazy week. But some men are not born with the capability to multitask, you know. His brain is where he's at. If he really busy with work, there's a slight chance that he might forget about you and his dating life completely. It's true. But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to see you again after the first date, if he really, really likes you. That possibility is still very much there.
Another thing about dealing this with men is that men sometimes find it hard to being honest, about you and about himself. It's not easy for some to share the truth about their feelings, mostly with women they've just met. He might like you but reserves the feelings because of many other things. He's probably not that sure about getting into a relationship that might lead into something serious, or he probably is seeing other woman and contemplating his feelings.
The thing is, men don't see this issue like women do. Women view calling or texting as a barometer for the successful of a first date and sadly some of us pretty much identify it as a barometer on how attractive we are towards men. Whether he calls or not, don't you hurry and jump to conclusions. You should be ready that there's always a chance of getting hurt. Also, there are so many variables such as timing, readiness, relationship status, and even luck which at play when two different people going on a first date.
We tend to believe that it is because of ourselves if a guy not calling, that he might not be into us. Worse, we tend to believe that we're not that attractive. It's the easiest, yet negative, conclusion. But, here's some good news: It's only a first date, girl. Change your mind by setting a positive attitude about yourself. Believe that you're worth fighting for and the right man will do whatever it takes to be with you. If a guy that you really like doesn't call you - give it a week and then move on! Go out with your friends and some place might be the right place to meet someone new. Just stay positive and hopeful, keep in mind that many men out there and your chance to get the best one is widely open.
