Not Following Up After a Date
Not every date you go on is going to be a winner. However, for those concerned about social etiquette, ghosting isn’t an option, especially when you’re well out of your reckless teenage years. While research from Plenty of Fish reveals that 80 percent of study subjects had been ghosted, it’s always unkind to do so, and may cost you dates in the future if you get a reputation for being a frequent ghoster. Instead, regardless of how the date went, follow up within 24 hours to let your date know that you’d either like to see them again, or don’t see things working out. It may be an uncomfortable conversation, but it’s worth having.
