I seemed like a great first date...

Dear Annie, Mike and I had a wonderful first date. We talked about everything. We both want to get married and have kids. He makes good money and lives in a great neighborhood, so I'm sure he'll be a great provider.

She told him what she needs if he dates her

He was fine when I told him that I have to wait for three months before we have sex.

I'm not quite sure why his last relationship didn't work out. He seemed reluctant to go into detail. I think he needs to sharpen his communication skills, but I can help him with that.

But, he hasn't called back and it's been three days. What should I do? Suzanne

He never called back

Suzanne, I think Mike is sending you a message. He probably had fun with you, but wasn't inspired go on another date.

A man isn't likely to call for a second date if a woman:

1. Quizzes him about his intentions or talks about her biological clock and her desire to marry within a year.

2. Tells him that it will be a long time between the first date and their first opportunity to have sex.

3. Criticizes men in general or criticizes anything about the date, his lifestyle or other choices.

4. Acts suspicious by asking him why his relationships didn't work out, why he's single, or if he's a player.

5. Tries to impress him with her superior knowledge and how she has figured the right way to do everything.

6. Doesn't share the conversation or show interest in getting to know him.

7. Plays hard too hard to get. There is a difference between maintaining your boundaries and acting unfriendly, cold, or aloof.

8. Expresses interest in his material possessions and money.

Men usually want to get to know you before they discuss the future. They often feel that women who talk about what they need in a relationship on a first date are overly anxious and demanding. After all, if you discover in the next couple of dates that you don't like each other, what's the point of discussing your future?

As Frank Sinatra once sang, nice and easy does it every time.
