You’ve had a wonderful time with your date for the evening and an idea pops into their heads that you can spend even more time together if you extend the date possibly until the next morning. What do you do?
Perhaps this could be the person you’ll spend the rest of your life with, BUT THIS IS STILL A STRANGER. People seem to lose sight of this and jump willingly to a stranger’s whims. It works in movies all of the time, but in real life, this is how people get heart broken. This is also how people get murdered.
BE SELFISH about your safety and your dating goals. Not wanting the night to end sends a direct message that you in NEED of someone to keep you from feeling lonely. You are not CONFIDENT and SECURE with your life. Remember that appearing to be too NEEDY or DESPERATE to have them too soon is not attractive, even if it looks like they are enjoying your company. When they have time to reflect, you may find that their schedule will not at your disposal, as yours was for them.
End the date respectfully. If it is meant to be, you’ll share many more wonderful evenings together. Let them know you’d like to see them again and take a rain check. You’ll see them again or at least you’ll be seeing someone soon. You have a future date to plan.
