Post-Second-Date Phenomenon
The phenomenon of feeling hatred and disgust following a second date with someone. Typically, the first date goes really well: you feel excited at the potential of this suitor. However, when the second date comes along, you encounter an intrusive mental blockage that prohibits you from enjoying this experience any longer. Externally, there is no issue: the date is perfect on paper. However, when reflecting on the experience, you feel a retrospective sense of repulsion that can’t be attributed to any instance. Your internal sabotage taints the image of your date, halting any prospective relationship.
“I was really excited to go on a second date with this guy because the first date went so well, but it just ended and I feel so awful and gross! It was a totally normal time: what is wrong with me? What do you think happened?” “Girl, that’s the post-second-date phenomenon!”
