A survey, commissioned by the company behind dating site Match.com, found the average wait after a date before getting in touch without appearing desperate is 1.52 days, the Daily Mail reported.

The research suggests if you don't hear back in 36 hours after the first date then love is unlikely to be in the cards.

The survey also found that when it comes to who does the asking for a second date, 22 per cent of women wait to be contacted first compared to just 5 per cent of men.

Single ladies are more impatient, with 28 per cent of those surveyed saying that they would sever contact if they didn't get a reply the first time around.

約會后36小時最關鍵

???????據英國《每日郵報》報道，由約會網站Match.com背后公司授權的一項調查顯示，在第一次約會后聯系對方但又不顯得急切的平均間隔為1.52天。

???????該研究暗示，如果你在第一次約會36小時后還沒收到回信兒，說明對方可能不喜歡你。

???????該調查還發現，當涉及誰提議第二次約會時，22%的女性等著對方聯系自己，但僅有5%的男性這樣做。

???????單身女子更沒耐心，28%接受調查的人說，如果第一次沒得到回復，她們便再也不聯系對方。
