The reality is, a lot of first dates do not turn into second dates. You have the same conversations over and over, go on mediocre date after mediocre date. It can feel like a chore. Dating in New York necessitates efficiency, but it can be hard to make quick decisions. If someone’s dating app profile seems only okay, should I still give them a chance? Can a mediocre first date turn into a great second date? What if I’ve already met the right person but discounted them too quickly?
