Perfect date? Not quite

The date was amazing. But there was no follow-up. Here is why...
You finally met a woman who seems just your type. You asked her out, the date was a huge success. And you can't wait to see her again. You texted her and told her you had a great time. But a couple of nailbiting days pass and you haven't heard from her. So you wonder if you did something to mess it up. Such reflection can be borderline torture. When you turn the entire date over and over in your head, it can only lead to negative conclusions. Such self-analysis won't let you find peace of mind, especially if you have a really good feeling about her. It's possible, of course, that she has been busy, but let's face it if someone wants to call you back, they will! 
So then the next step is to question whether your message was too pushy or maybe you didn't read her signals right. Stop traumatising yourself and read our helpful guide: 
Misreading the signs 
Sometimes, it's easy to assume that just because you felt the date was perfect, the opinion was shared by the girl. But women place a lot of weight on an emotional connect. Truthfully ask yourself if you made that critical connect.
Think about it. She's an attractive woman and there is no reason to think that you're the only man who has expressed interest. Did you make a lasting impression? Were you able to share on an emotional level? Some men tend to brag and show off and think that is what impresses the girl. The intent is right, but the method isn't. Some men love the sound of their voice. The idea is to listen as much as you share. Making her laugh is a good way to connect. Sharing a warm experience or anecdote will make her think you're a nice guy. If you want her to remember you, make sure you give her something to think about. 
What should you do? 
Men feel connected by sharing activities; women feel connected by sharing stories, words and emotions. Think about what you've discovered about her personality. Can you specify five new things that you've learnt? (That she likes Italian and not Thai food doesn't count).
Have you managed to get across those qualities that will earn you brownie points? It doesn't meant that you make up stuff like 'I care about puppies', but show her that you're an affectionate and caring person. 
Treat her like a friend, not an object. Listen to her, remember the little sweet details that she shares with you. Remember the names of her friends and colleagues, where she went to school, where she grew up. Personalise your message by saying something like, "I had a great time with you last night. I especially enjoyed our conversation about your travels with your friends to Goa. How about I take you to that little Italian restaurant you mentioned next Saturday." This is how you can let the her know that you are not one of the regular men that she has met -- that you are connected to her.
