How To Bag That Second Date

If there’s a spark of chemistry on the first date, it’s crucial to play it cool. If you want to be in with a chance of bagging date number 2! Our practical tips will help you and show you how to bag that second date…

When your friends are all happily paired up with a love interest, it can easily feel like you’re the only person who doesn’t know how to get a boyfriend. With 8 billion people on the planet, there’s unlimited potential to find someone you can date or hook up with.

On Gay Adult Chat there are real men waiting to chat, flirt and date you. On a first date, with a hot guy you fancy, you can build on the rapport that you’ve already established via sending and receiving flirty messages, and chatting on the UK’s busiest gay phone chat line service for hours.

Ramp up the rapport

So, you’ve clicked with a guy you’ve been flirting with online, and it’s now time to meet in person… Besides following the obvious dating etiquette rules regarding good grooming, being on time, and showing off your charismatic personality, it’s important to put some effort into ramping up the rapport on a first date.

Create a feeling of intimacy, by making eye contact when you’re chatting and flirting, and matching their body language by using the mirroring technique. Lean in when they do, and gently touch their arm, to show your date that you’re definitely interested in them.

Keep it positive

Chat about the things you have in common, and ask your date to share stories about his life. Pay attention to his every word and ask questions that keep the conversation going, to let him know that you’d love to get to know him better.

If his jokes are genuinely funny, tell your date that he’d make a great stand up comic. Paying sincere complements will make him feel good, and also create a positive memory of the time you’ve spent together.

It’s best to avoid talking about sex, politics or controversial topics. Instead, focus on discovering each other’s likes and dislikes, passions and hobbies. The more comfortable that he feels in your company, the greater the chance that he’ll want to see you again.

Be yourself

The right person will love everything about you, so it’s essential that you let your date see the real you. Take ownership of your charming personality, quirky sense of style and wicked wit.

If you feel judged, undermined or uncomfortable being yourself in someone’s company, they’re clearly not on the same wavelength as you. Bagging a second date with Mr Wrong is really not worth the time and energy, if you’re serious about finding a soulmate.

Learn to accept rejection

On your journey to find Mr Right, it’s inevitable that you’ll experience rejection. Not every guy you meet will be genuine, authentic and looking for a romantic relationship with you. Sometimes, the connection that you have with a hot guy will quickly lose steam, or you may be ghosted after the first date.

Learning to accept that rejection is part of the dating game. Life will enable you to regain your confidence, and the desire to continue on your quest to find your perfect partner. It’s also essential to learn from your own behaviour, and to set boundaries and higher standards for yourself. You will always attract the type of person that’s aligned with your vibe, so put some effort into raising that too!

Chatting with friendly guys on Gay Adult Chat is a great morale booster, if you’ve recently experienced dating disappointment. You can practice your flirting and seduction techniques. Explore connections with men that you may consider to be not your usual type. Your ideal love match will stand out from the crowd, and will definitely be on your unique wavelength.

6 Dating Red Flags To Look Out For

red flag blowing in the wind on the beach

There can be a number of red flags that pop up when dating. Some of these dating red flags will give you sense of whether they’re looking for something serious or just a bit of fun. It can be really difficult to tell who is genuinely looking for a long-term relationship and who is just looking for a hook up.

We’ve compiled a list below of some of the red flags you can look out for.

They ask for your number immediately

They have no reason to ask for your number straight away. No matter how you’re conversing, it’s always going to be as anonymous as you make it, so there’s no need to exchange numbers before you’re comfortable.

If they’re pressuring you to do so, this can be a sign they’re not seriously looking for anything longer term.

They don’t take ‘no’ for an answer

Regardless of what it is you’re saying no to, if they don’t respect your answer then that’s a big red flag.
It’s important to set boundaries that you’re comfortable with and people should respect that, especially if they want to build a meaningful relationship with you – friendly or romantic.

 

They only have one thing on their mind

Sex and intimacy can be very important in a romantic relationship, but if he launches into talking about that immediately, then that’s usually all he’s looking for.
People aren’t just their bodies or how they look. For something longer lasting, it’s best to spend some time getting to know someone first.

 

They aren’t open and honest with you

We all have little secrets. We all have things we might not be comfortable revealing to a potential partner straight away and that’s absolutely fine.
However, if they won’t answer basic questions or won’t tell you things about themselves, that can be concerning.
Be honest and open with what you are expecting from them and if they’re not willing to meet you in the middle, maybe it’s time to cut your losses!

 

Love bombing

If someone showers you with love, affection, gifts, or extravagant things right at the beginning of the relationship, this is a huge red flag.
You might not even notice at first and just think they’re being caring and generous, especially if it’s not something you’ve experienced before as it can be very flattering. If it’s over the top, this is known as “love bombing”. They lure you in by thinking they’re lovely and generous and this is how the relationship is going to be, but the majority of the time it’s not sustainable and their behaviour changes.

 

They don’t want you to meet their friends/family

If a guy is serious about a relationship, they should be honest with you if there’s an issue with meeting their family. If they just keep avoiding it or making excuses, this can be a worry.
Usually people want to show off their new partner and introduce them to everyone that they care about. If they’re not willing to do this, there needs to be a conversation about why, other something isn’t right.
Of course, you always need to be cautious when dating new people and always be alert for any of these red flags.
Make sure you talk about things and set clear boundaries and be honest with each other from the start.

If you’re yet to meet Mr Right, then get chatting on Gay Adult Chat’s chat and text lines as you never know when you might meet The One.. just look out for those red flags!

Lockdown Valentine’s Day Date Ideas

 

2 men clinking wine glasses

Dating has definitely been much more difficult during the multiple tims we’ve been in lockdown over the last 11 months, but it doesn’t need to stop completely.

If you’re looking for some date ideas this Valentine’s Day, we’ve got you covered!

 

Chat on the phone

We get so used to texting or messaging on multiple apps, that we don’t connect with each other like we used to, especially now we rely on this technology more than ever at the moment.

Chatting on the phone is a great way to either see if you’ve got chemistry if you’ve not met yet, or if you’re already seeing each other or in a relationship it’s a great way to feel a bit closer to each other whilst being apart for so long.

 

Watch a movie or TV show you love

With the cinemas being closed during lockdown, we need to think of alternative ways to watch things together.

You can recommend movies or TV shows to each other and have a discussion about it, or watch it simultaneously. You can have a video chat at the same time, or compare notes during or after. It gives you something to chat about and something to bond over.

 

Have a romantic candlelit dinner

There’s no reason not to still have that romantic candlelit dinner this Valentine’s Day!

Schedule a time where you can both cook a meal together or order takeaway and sit down and eat with one another over a video call. Things are very different this Valentine’s Day but there are still ways to be romantic.

 

Play games together

There are plenty of online games you can play together. Whether you both own the same console and can connect through games on there, or whether you want to play something online like Geoguessr where you have to race to find out where in the world you have been placed.

 

Write each other letters

If you’d rather not involve technology sometimes, writing letters are a great way to communicate, even if it is a bit slower!

It’s a much more personal way of communicating with each other and you could even send each other little gifts you think they would like.

 

If you’ve yet to meet the man of your dreams in time for Valentine’s Day, get yourself on Gay Adult Chat and get chatting to singles from all over the UK on our great phone chat or mobile dating services today!

Gay Dating: Secure That All Important Second Date

2 men clinking wine glasses

Gay dating. You’re meeting up with someone you’ve met on Gay Adult Chat for the first time and want to make the best first impression. If you really like them, you’re going to want to get a second date in the bag. So what can you do to make sure you get it? Our tips below will help.

Make sure you’re on time

It wouldn’t create the best first impression if you’re late on your first date with someone. Make sure you leave extra time for your journey to allow for any mishaps, as well as plenty of time to get ready beforehand. If you do end up running late, make sure you inform your date so they don’t think you’ve stood them up!

Dress appropriately for your date

When going to a nice restaurant, make sure you wear something nice and make an effort. Equally if you’re just meeting for coffee, there’s no need to go overboard. You don’t need to spend hours worrying about your outfit, but your date will notice if you’ve put a bit of effort in.

Ask questions

Make sure you get to know your date properly by asking them questions. It shows that you’re interested if you bother to find out things about them. For example ask about their career, basic information about their family, where they grew up etc. Keep it light hearted though, they don’t need to feel like they’re in an interview!

Make eye contact

The best way to show your date that you’re interested is to maintain eye contact when they’re talking. This shows that you’re listening and paying attention to what they’re saying.
You can also see if they’re interested in you and what you’re saying if they’re maintaining eye contact with you as well.

Make sure there are no ‘barriers’ between you

Try not to fold your arms or cross your legs as this creates a physical barrier between you and can portray that you’re not very open towards your date. You may also want to move things on the table so you have a better and clearer view of them whilst you’re talking.

Don’t keep checking your phone

It’s okay to check the time or check if there are any emergencies a couple of times whilst you’re out. However repeatedly checking your phone makes it look like you don’t want to be there and aren’t interested in your date.
They should be your main focus whilst you’re together and if you’re interested you’ll want them to think that. Make sure you’re not distracted.

Pay your date compliments

Obviously this is only if they are genuine! Do you like his jacket? – tell him. If you think his shoes are nice – tell him. If you think he has lovely eyes – TELL HIM! It’s nice to know your date likes things about you. It’ll help give you an idea of whether they’re into you or not – so show your appreciation!

So, follow our gay dating tips and get that first date by chatting to single guys on Gay Adult Chat and follow our tips to secure a second!

Why Talking Can Benefit Your Relationship?

It’s Good To Talk!

It doesn’t matter if you’ve only just met or if you’ve been together for years, talking on the phone will always further your connection as a couple.

Our chatline is based around talking on the phone to other singles and we believe this is the best way to get to know someone before you meet them.

You can get a good idea of their sense of humour and what makes them tick. You can hear their tone of voice so you’re more likely to be able to get your point across and have a decent conversation.

You’ll also get immediate replies if you’re chatting one-to-one, rather than having to wait ages for them to text back!

Hearing someone’s voice is a big part of how attractive you find them. Voices are very personal and you’ll get a much better idea of someone by talking to them on the phone.

There’s also much less of a chance of what someone says being misinterpreted, which may cause friction and arguments, as you can immediately discuss it and put your point across much clearer than you would via a message.

If you would like to get chatting to singles in your area, call Gay Adult Chat today!

Ten Topics To Avoid On A First Date

 

Hot gay men hugging in a field

You want to secure a second date so make sure you avoid talking about these topics.

 

  1. Politics.

You don’t need to know what their persuasion is on air first date. This could affect how much you like them/how well the date goes and there’s no need to talk about it. Keep conversation light hearted and get to know each other.

 

  1. Previous partners.

Do you really want to know what their last partner was like? You’ll probably just end up comparing yourself to them which is never a good thing. You also probably don’t want to know how many previous partners they’ve had or how many dates they’ve been on – it’s never what you want to hear!

 

  1. Money.

Never ask how much they earn or tell them how much you earn. Either way you won’t come across well. Keep it to simpler topics like hobbies or even just what they do for work.

 

  1. Religion.

Religion can be a very personal subject. Many people will not agree on religious subjects so it’s best not to bring this into conversation.

 

  1. Marriage/children.

This is definitely not a topic for a first date! You don’t want to scare them off so don’t bring up commitment until you’re both sure that’s where your relationship is heading.

 

  1. Work.

You can absolutely find out what each other does for a living but don’t moan about not liking your job or how much you dislike your colleague – your date isn’t interested! Also you don’t know if your date knows anyone you work with so it’s best not to moan about them!

 

  1. Yourself.

You will of course be talking about yourself when your date asks questions about you but don’t keep talking about yourself unprompted. Ask your date questions about themselves rather than banging on about yourself all the time.

 

  1. What you’re looking for.

Don’t get into a conversation about what sort of person you’re looking for, it only shows you as being high maintenance or picky (you’re allowed to be picky, just don’t let them know that!).

 

  1. Your own appearance.

If you put yourself down, your date won’t find this attractive. If you big yourself up they won’t find this attractive either. Let them compliment you if they want to and by all means compliment them but don’t mention your own appearance.

 

  1. Your family background.

By all means tell them how many siblings you have but there’s no need for any more detail than that, they’re on a date with you, not your entire family!

 

So now you know to avoid talking about these topics, you should get chatting on Gay Adult Chat today and meet local singles!

Top Ten Tips For Dating On A Chat line

Two happy gay men

Don’t fancy online dating or haven’t had much success?

Give Gay Adult Chat line a try and chat with people on your phone!
 

  • If you don’t like the sound of their voice, don’t be put off! People can sound totally different on the phone to how they do in person so if you get on and want to meet up then go for it!
  • If you do get to the point where you decide you want to meet up with them then please be sensible about it. Tell a friend where you are going and make sure you meet them in a public place at a sensible time of day.
  • Don’t give out your personal information on the chat line. If you decide you want to meet up with someone, make the arrangements through the chatline – it’s better to be safe and cautious when meeting people.
  • Set up a personal mailbox so guys can leave you messages when you are not online. It’s easy to do and you get your own account number and PIN so you can access it any time.
  • Record a good introduction message about yourself. Try not to make it too long but you want people to like the sound of you so make sure to highlight your best qualities!
  • Too shy to speak to people directly? Then send a voice message to their mailbox first or even try our text chat service. People text much more than they talk on the phone so why not give it a try?!
  • A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not upload a picture of yourself so guys can download it and check you out?! Please do keep them clean though, otherwise they won’t get past the moderation team.
  • If someone is being nasty, obscene or rude on the service then please report them to the moderators and bar them from contacting you.
  • If you call the service a lot then you might want to try setting up a pre-paid credit card account which will allow you to call the service at a cheaper rate so you’ll get more talk time for your money.
  • Remember to have fun and enjoy it. Dating shouldn’t turn into a chore. Chat and be yourself and this could help you find that special someone.
