the answer to your question is an unequivocal NO!!! some dates are just so bad that forcing a 2nd one for no reason is a complete waste of time. before anyone starts with their excuses of ‘nobody is themselves on a first date’….’you have to give it a chance’ etc. i say to them that to make a 2nd date required would probably just worsen the shidduch crisis situation that we’re already in. you cant force people to like each other. period. the boys seem to have all the veto power in the shidduch world, up until the dating actually starts. a girl does not have to say yes just because the boy does.
and by the way, kudos to dr. pepper for giving a girl a second date no matter what. that’s very classy. eventhough if you had a miserable time the girl probably did also.
