A girl always thinks through a date with a guy down to the smallest detail - from the topics that can be discussed to the ideal appearance. And after the long-awaited meeting, a romantic mood, euphoria, happy plans for the future appear... But the object of sympathy suddenly disappears and does not show initiative. Why? Everything went amazingly - the man clearly made it clear that he was interested, walked her home, was polite and flirted. What happened? Why doesn't a guy text after a date? What could have scared him away? And how to behave in such situations?
He/she doesn't want to impose
For example, a person decided that the date did not go very well and you are not interested in continuing the relationship. This can happen if, for example:
- You behaved awkwardly, distracted, and did not maintain a conversation.
- The person has low self-esteem, and it seems to him that no one likes him at all.
- He is afraid of being rejected (and for good reason: scientists believe Social rejection shares somatosensory representations with physical pain, that our brain perceives social rejection almost as real physical pain).
And the person may also think that you should take the first step. Especially if we are talking about a woman. Our mothers and grandmothers (with the support of romantic comedies and glossy magazines) have been telling us for many years that a man should take the initiative, and that a woman writing to him first is at best unwise, and at worst completely indecent.
But, fortunately, times are changing, and all these old and useless attitudes are becoming a thing of the past: only half of the Russians surveyed believe that the first step in a relationship should be taken by a man.
