Top 6 Date Hacks To Guarantee A Second Date In New York

Getting a second date. It’s the ultimate proof your first date went as well as you thought, and it’s the first actual step on starting to date someone. But the journey to getting there can be tough. At The Inner Circle, it’s our mission to get singles meeting up in real life, which is why we’re giving New Yorkers 6 tips on how to make sure you get a second chance to impress:

1 - Play it cool

It’s good to look interesting, but it’s about striking a balance. Regardless of how you feel, if you start telling someone their role in your 5 year plan, they’re 100% going to be spooked and you have a pretty low chance of seeing them again.

2 - Listen

There is nothing more attractive than being listened to when you’re talking. Honestly. Try it. If you’re paying attention to someone and not just waiting for your chance to talk, they’re going to feel seen and will want to see you again.

3 - Go to the right place

We’ve written a whole article on the best places to date in NYC (find it here), or you can see singles favourite date spots in New York on In The Inner Circle app here. Picking the right venue sets the right mood, so get this one right.

4 - From start to finish, be yourself

This is a bit of a catch 22, sometimes being yourself means you might not actually get a second date. But this is even more important. Being true to who you are means the right people are going to want to see more of you, rather than more of the person you’re trying to be. Relax. You’ve got this. Which leads on to...

5 - Be honest

If you lie, you’ll have to come clean eventually. If you’re honest, genuine, and act like the CATCH you are, you’re sure to dazzle. And everyone wants a second date with someone who dazzles.

6 - ASK!

Pretty simple this. At the end of the day, if you want to see someone again just ask them! It’s shocking how often singles fall at this hurdle. Regardless of gender, take control and make that date happen!
