Second Date

Phenomenon

The first date after a successful first date, usually the real test of compatibility.

What it means

The second date is generally where attraction either deepens or quietly fades. First dates are usually 'do we click enough to see each other again?' Second dates ask 'is there actually something here?' Conversion from first to second date is one of the most-tracked metrics in app-dating culture.
