The laughter and flirting were highly evident on the first date.

He was charming and witty.

You were initially nervous before the date, but he did such a good job of making you feel comfortable as it progressed.

When the date was over, you felt really good about how it went.

There was sustained eye contact throughout.

Unlike other first dates you have been on, this guy’s eyes didn’t wander.

He was fully focused on engaging with you throughout the date.

All of this made you feel totally confident that a second date was imminent.

That was days ago.

You haven’t heard from him since what seemed to be a great first date.

He has gone silent.

Prior to the first date, he communicated on a regular basis.

He seemed curious about learning about who you were as a person.

The more he learned, the more excited he became over meeting you for the first date.

Yet, this is no longer what is happening, and you are curious about whether he is still interested in you.

Sadly, he isn’t.

The normal effect on a man in the aftermath of a great first date is excitement over seeing the girl again.

He would be champing at the bit to ask you out on a second date.

Guys are fully aware that an attractive girl isn’t on the dating market for long.

The moment he realizes he has physical and psychological chemistry with her, he naturally becomes territorial.

His new motivation is to pursue her exclusively.

He wants her to be consumed with him alone.

This is exhibited in a momentous increase in how often he communicates and a quick request for a second date.

In your case, you are deficient in both.

He hasn’t asked you out on a second date, and communication is nonexistent.

This is a clear indication that something didn’t align for him on that date.

If you met him on a dating app, there is a good chance that he wasn’t impressed with how you looked.

Think about the photos posted on your dating profile.

Do they accurately represent what you look like in real life?

Are they devoid of filters?

Do you have full-body photos that clearly show your build?

A popular reason why a guy goes silent after meeting a girl from a dating site in person is due to what she looked like.

If you look significantly different in person, he won’t be attracted to you.

Being a nice guy, he continued to be civil and remained a gentleman throughout the course of the date.

This is what gave you the impression it was a great date.

But mentally, he was disappointed in what he saw and already knew he would never communicate with you again once the date was over.

If this wasn’t someone you matched with online but someone you initially met in the real world, his silence has more to do with something he learned about you during the date that made him deem you incompatible.

Was there a moment during the date where his energy seemed to shift briefly, where he went from upbeat and talkative to a little quiet?

This is where the temporary shift occurred.

He became privy to information about you he was unaware of prior to the date.

Information that made him realize that you wouldn’t be a compatible potential mate.

None of this means you did anything wrong.

Sometimes, a person has non-negotiables in what they are looking for in a potential partner.

If he discovered a non-negotiable while he was on a first date with you, that is a reason why he goes silent.
