She may have other candidates that she wanted to go out with. Sometimes, there is no second chance. Win or go home.

The list is superficial, it’s predicated on an outward appearance of things:

"Look for that which causes your heart to sing."

That's still not logical there must have been initial attraction somewhere or why would she have went out on a first date to begin with? So they write a guy off after one first date.... then they hope the next guy they go out with is better than the guy they never really gave a chance to begin with. Seems like some sort of crazy endless cycle fused with classic American women flakiness.

He's a good looking guy. It's not surprising he gets a first date. If he's as shy as he says he is he probably comes off as a bit of a weirdo freak. No second date. Of course, in the lunatic minds of men on this forum it's the woman's fault.

That is a flawed dating methodology where you're expecting to bond with someone instantly, know them instantly and fall in love at first sight. So in a way it is her fault because she's being unrealistic. What happened to building something over time with someone? This the exact flake stuff I have ran into with American women and I'm not even all that shy on a first date, definitely a little, but not to the extreme.

You are reading way too much into it. Perhaps that's how it seems to people who are socially inept or emotionally off. You guys may see normal communication and eye contact as an extravagant intimacy when it's really not.

It's her fault? That's a pretty childish pov. Combine this clear immaturity, social ineptness, and over all anger and you will no doubt have women freaked out by you and running for the hills.

Introversion doesn't have anything to do with being a bad conversationalist. It sounds like you may be shy.

It's strange that a few of you guys put the blame on the woman if she's not all gung-ho about Date 2 when Date 1 was a bore. If you didn't click, you didn' click.

I don't think he's blaming her. He's just stating a matter of fact.
