Why You Never Get a Second Date (And Don’t Even Know Why)

Are you single, frustrated with awkward first dates, and wondering why good conversations never seem to flow? In this episode of the Broken to Brave podcast, the love coach Donna Barnes reveals how your body language may be pushing away the very people you want to attract. From micro-expressions to fidgeting, crossed arms, nervous chatter, or going completely silent, these subconscious signals can easily sabotage your chances of getting a second date — even when you really like someone.Most singles don't realize that your behavior reveals more than your words, especially when you’re anxious or trying to impress someone new. If you’ve ever left a date thinking, “I hope they liked me,” while they left thinking, “I’m not sure they were interested,” this episode will open your eyes. You’ll learn how to show genuine interest, flirt in a natural way, read the subtle cues that tell you how someone really feels, and avoid the most common first-date mistakes that send the wrong message.Donna also shares matchmaking insights, real examples from coaching clients, and the neuroscience behind micro-expressions — tiny, involuntary facial movements that reveal true emotions. You’ll discover why second dates are often MUCH better than first dates, why attraction sometimes grows slowly, and why giving someone a chance can lead to a deeply unexpected connection.If you want to meet the right partner, attract emotionally healthy people, and stop sabotaging yourself with mixed signals, this episode will change how you approach dating forever.❤️ Work With DonnaIf dating feels exhausting or confusing, I can help you create healthy, secure connections and meet the right partner.👉 Coaching info: https://www.donnabarnes.com/virtual-coaching/Visit my new store: https://www.donnabarnes.online/⭐ What You’ll Learn:How your body language can accidentally signal disinterestWhy first dates feel awkward (and how to fix it)What micro-expressions reveal about real feelingsHow oversharing makes you look uninterestedHow to flirt naturally and confidentlyWhy assuming someone likes you helps you relaxWhy you should always consider a second or even third dateThe body-language clues you should never ignoreDonna Barnes is an New York University Certified Love Coach, Breakup Specialist, Podcast Host, and Author of Giving Up Junk-Food Relationships: Recipes for Healthy Choices. https://amzn.to/3gFykPS💔 Ready to become the best version of yourself?👉 Breakup Recovery Program https://www.donnabarnes.com/breakup-recovery/ — 10+ HOURS of expert coaching videos, quizzes, and checklists to help you heal and move forward stronger than ever.

Breakup Pain to Power: The Only Real Revenge on Your Ex That Works

If you're heartbroken, struggling to move on, or obsessing over how to get revenge on your ex, this video will show you the real way to take your power back. Many men and women feel desperate to hurt the person who hurt them — but the most effective “revenge” is transforming your pain into growth, confidence, and becoming the best version of yourself.

If you’re hurting, confused, or replaying the past, this guidance will help you stop chasing, start healing, and step into a healthier, happier future.

Revenge feels good in the moment, but becoming better than ever feels even better. If you’re struggling to let go or want help turning this pain into confidence, my complete breakup course is linked below — it may be exactly what you need.

Dear Donna...Ask Away!!! Record your question! The desire to be loved is universal, but the knowledge to create a lasting partnership isn't clear-cut. I intend to help as many people as I can. I've walked in many of your shoes & fully understand feeling broken. I've struggled with abandonment issues & endured plenty of loss and heartbreak, even abuse. But I've also lived a very charmed & exciting life, filled with love. I am an NYU Certified Life & Love Coach, however, I promise you there has been no better teacher than my personal experiences. I'm excited to share my life's wisdom with you!
