If the date went well for both of you, then do not forget to call or text them to see how they are doing. Hopefully if the person replies and enjoys your company it could be the start of something new.
Reminisce about the date and topics that you spoke about. Try and remember the small details you spoke about and bring these up again to show you were listening and that you care.
After continuing communication if you get along, it may be time to book in another date!
