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.

约会后36小时最关键

       据英国《每日邮报》报道，由约会网站Match.com背后公司授权的一项调查显示，在第一次约会后联系对方但又不显得急切的平均间隔为1.52天。

       该研究暗示，如果你在第一次约会36小时后还没收到回信儿，说明对方可能不喜欢你。

       该调查还发现，当涉及谁提议第二次约会时，22%的女性等着对方联系自己，但仅有5%的男性这样做。

       单身女子更没耐心，28%接受调查的人说，如果第一次没得到回复，她们便再也不联系对方。
