So, after meeting once, do you a) only see them again if you fancy them / feel a 'connection' blahhhh

b) see them again if they seem nice to chat to (the sort of person who appeals) given first 'dates' aren't really dates..... or:

c) go with your gut about them and how compatible you are

Over to you..........

B or c depending on how gut the feeling was

Yes, I think b or c. But I do think it's a really hard call to make. I think also you have to consider your way of developing feeling for someone.

What I mean is are you someone who knows straight off 'this will never go anywhere' or do you take a while to feel a connection. Take it from there,and good luck x

I see them again if I think I would enjoy a second meeting.

Can't say more than that.

With online dating, the first date is really the "zeroth" date.

It's very easy to tell if someone is a "NO". I don't expect them to be a "YES", so I'll see them again if they are a "good chance of possibly".

I'd go with C. Usually I know pretty quickly if it's just not going to go anywhere. But if they're not a definite no it's a bit harder to define. I've had some brilliant first dates that ended up in really awkward second dates. Equally, I've had first dates where I thought "hmm, he's ok" that ended up leading to something more a few dates in.

Depends. Looking for a fling with hot sex? I'd pick the chemistry.

Looking for a little fun/ light hearted dating? Then I'd base it one whether I had a good enough time to want to see them again (...high bar given that they are competing against friends during rare time away from DC's).

Looking for something more serious? I'd give it more than one date. First dates are nerve racking and never bring out the best in people. Unless he was pretty awful/ boring...
