"First Date Disaster (And You Know It)"
"Quiz Results"
As
someone whose quiz results have them pegged as a first date disaster,
we’re willing to bet you’re intimately familiar with a little thing
called self-sabotage.
Ring a bell? In an effort to safeguard your heart, baby does bad, bad
things on
first dates… things you know deep-down will have him erasing your name
from his
cell phone (arrogance and having high expectations come to mind). Being
aware
of what you’re doing wrong is one thing – acknowledging these missteps
and
doing something about them are quite another. But we think you can
change your dating
disasters and land the second date.
Have you found this page without completing
our quiz: Are You Likely to Get the Second Date? Then take
the quiz yourself to see why you may
or may not be getting past date one.

About Wielding Weapons of Mass Destruction on a Date
We’ve written articles about self-sabotage
that we strongly suggest you read, but there are some specific
first-date
self-sabotage issues that we want to highlight here.
When
you never seem to make it past the first date, the common
denominator in all of these experiences is you. What vibe are you
giving off
when you sit down to dinner with that new guy? Is it one of, “Good luck
with me
fella – I’m more woman than you can handle” or maybe it’s “You’re never
going
to make it out of this alive.”
You’re
setting yourself up
for failure… yes, that’s right, yourself. You may think of the
challenges you
present to your dates as their
failures if they don’t give you the “right” answers or behave the
“right” way,
but it’s exactly the opposite. You are on the losing end of things if
you don’t
give them the opportunity to develop their own “right” answers. No one
is ever
gonna fit inside the box you want them to inhabit, no matter how
carefully
you’ve sculpted it.
Since
you’ve taken our quiz about getting the second date, since you’re
reading these results, we’re pretty certain you’re serious about
identifying
how to make changes for the better in your life so you're not a first date disaster. Bravo! We can’t ask
for more
than that. But we do have a few suggestions…

Dating Tip:
Having
successful first dates and making your way seamlessly to a sure-fire
second
date starts with yourself. If you don’t love who you are, if you don’t
have an
open mind about a future filled with love, those elusive feelings of
contentment and happiness are never going to find you. Some self-reflection
might be in order. Give yourself the gift of figuring out exactly
what’s going
on in that scratched-up, hurt, doubting heart of yours!
Your
tough-girl attitude might actually be a cover for dating
insecurities. Your lot in life is not to be a first date
disaster forever.
Keep reading, keep learning, keep living, and you’ll keep dating.
