After a first date, you go home and think about all the events that happened, and while you’re daydreaming you’re feeling those exciting butterflies in your stomach, searching for signs that this might be the start of something extraordinary.

What “green flags” have you experienced on a first date that made you want to have a second date? After polling the internet, these green flags landed people another date.

1. Comfortable Silence

One person explained, “First date, she drove us to a spot to go hiking, about an hour’s drive. We were talking and talking, but every once in a while, we wouldn’t be talking, and it just felt so comfortable and not awkward being silent together. Comfy silence.”

“I was just laid off the week before our second date, and I called her to cancel. I was down and unsure about my next move. She asked me what kind of pizza I fancied. One hour later, she’s at my doorstep with pizzas and beer to cheer me up. We’ve been married for 12 years,” another shared.

2. Cheering Me Up

A third replied, “He took me to an amateur stand-up comedy night and heartily laughed at all the jokes. They were so bad. So not funny at all. I was planning not to go on another date because he had a terrible sense of humor.”

4. Hummingbird Pause

Someone said, “She saw a hummingbird start to circle some flowers on the patio we were dining on and had to pause the conversation to watch the little guy.” Another noted, “Same, but with a bumblebee trying to sit on a flower, he was too heavy but tried for five minutes.”

5. Onward! Piggy Back

“We stayed at the wine bar much longer than planned, trying to race to a restaurant for food before places closed. So, I offered her a piggyback ride to run it due to her wearing heels. She jumped on, threw her arm forward, and yelled, “Onward!”
