No spark on date, should I give it a second chance?

It's not the first time I've met him, I've already known him for around 2 months through friends.
I did fancy him and we talk a lot. He's a lovely guy and I do find him really attractive, we have a lot in common.
This however was the first time we've been on a proper 'date' as such.
It lasted for 2 hours, it just felt like 2 friends meeting. I do find him sexually attractive and we have so much to talk about, he seemed a little nervous/shy which was understandable.
I'm not sure why, it just felt like friends.
He's texted making it clear he'd like a second date. The thing is, I did feel a spark prior to this, it literally just felt like an off day yesterday.
Not sure if it's worth going again?

OK, so you enjoy his company and think he's attractive - yes I'd have a second date to see if there could be more

Don’t write it off until you’ve snogged him.

He was probably nervous to push it forward to a more sexual meeting if you are used to being friends.

Maybe if you agree to a second date, he will see that as a green light and will feel confident about being more flirty?

I'd try once more.

If you enjoy his company and find him attractive then I’d go for a second date.
First dates come with nerves etc which can make it hard to know how you actually feel.
A second date that is relaxed and fun should help you know whether there’s a spark there.
Also, loads of people don’t have a spark when they first meet their partner - a lot of relationships come from friendships where it gradually builds, so I don’t think lack of instant spark is an issue (perhaps more for the movies than real life a lot of the time!).

give it a second shot - always tricky on date 1 to suss it out.

Did not fancy DH at all when I met him! Now he is the sexiest man I’ve ever met, even though he’s overweight and balding.

Definitely give it another go. Maybe try a different environment from last time too. May bring out a different side to you both. Good luck!
