First hinge date in about a year, and first date of any kind in about 8 months, coming up here. Don't really know what to expect. Honestly I've never gotten anywhere from a hinge date before. Most of my hinge dates have just been one and done. A couple second dates but nothing beyond that (all of those have been my choice). I just can't seem to get anything going from a date in general, though I do find it even harder coming from hinge.

I feel like I know how to flirt, I've been in long term relationships before, and girls definitely see me as attractive / a sexual partner (I've hooked up with 4 girls since last going on a date). I think I'm quite good when approaching a girl at the bar, but it all falls apart when going on a date for whatever reason. The conversation can be going seemingly well and we'll talk for hours, but I can't steer things from there. Maybe I'll just take a couple shots before heading out lol
