Dating update: Girl #3 canceled second date last minute after an amazing first date.

Obviously I don't know the specifics of you and these girls, but this is my advice: date down slightly on looks. I get that it's kind of a meme at this point, but it works. You don't need to date way below your looksmatch…but a little bit.

Most other advice you hear (waiting to text, etc) is mostly bunk, although you don't want to be clingy/needy.

Lastly, the biggest red flag for most women is a guy with a temper. So always keep it calm, cool, confident and collected.

Edit: secular women are particularly hard to maintain a relationship in this day and age. While Christian women are easier to date, you also don't want to pretend to be a Christian just to date them. Obviously not cool.

Edit #2: Avoid dating women with kids. You will get attached to the family dynamic (regardless of what the internet says) and those women will drop you faster than anyone.

I've been married for a while now, but the above is based on past experiences.
