When it comes to dating, most men are pretty straightforward.

They know what they want and they go after it.

But not all men are so direct — which can make things confusing for the woman they’re interested in.

When a guy doesn’t walk you to your car on the first date, it can mean a few things, and I will tell you all of them today:

1) He’s not sure if he wants a relationship

If a guy doesn’t walk you to your car on the first date, he may be trying to see if you’re looking for a relationship.

If he really likes you and wants to go out with you again, he’ll probably walk you to your car.

It shows that he’s a gentleman and respects you.

But if a guy doesn’t walk you to your car, he’s not sure if he even wants to go out with you again.

He doesn’t want to give you the wrong idea and send you a signal that he wants more than he really does. He’s trying to keep his options open just in case.

Now, it’s not always so easy to deduce something like this from the simple act of walking to the car.

But sometimes a guy will show his intentions through little actions, like walking you to your car, holding your door, and even bringing you flowers.

So if he doesn’t do any of these things, it could mean he’s not really interested in you.

2) He knows you want more and he’s trying to confuse you

If a guy doesn’t walk you to your car on the first date, he’s trying to confuse you and make you think that he’s not into you, when he might be interested.

It’s a way of keeping you on your toes and making you wonder what he’s really after.

You might even see him flirt with other women. If you notice that, he’s a player and probably not someone you want to be with.

He’s sending a subtle but clear message that you’re not special.

It’s a bit mean and inconsiderate, but it happens. A guy like this is probably manipulative and trying to control you by keeping you off balance.

Now again, simply not walking you to your car doesn’t immediately have to mean he is that kind of guy, but sometimes, actions speak louder than words!

So, if you notice that he’s doing this, it could mean he’s a player.

3) He doesn’t know any better

Sometimes a guy might not walk you to your car because he simply doesn’t know any better.

He might not have been raised to be a gentleman and walk women to their cars — so he doesn’t even realize that he’s supposed to.

This doesn’t mean that he’s a bad guy. You might want to gently explain to him how dating works and how to be a gentleman.

You could even make a joke out of it if you like him enough. It’s never too early to have The Talk, and you might be doing him a favor.

You see, if you aren’t lucky enough to grow up with parents or other authoritative figures who teach you the ropes of how to be a gentleman, then you might have to learn the hard way.

But when you do learn the ropes, you’ll find that being a gentleman can make all the difference in finding your soulmate.

So, if a guy doesn’t walk you to your car, the most probable reason is that he didn’t know any better and would have done it, had he known about it.

However, for a lot of women, this is simply common sense. A man should keep the woman he likes safe, so walking her to her car should be the bare minimum.

If he doesn’t do this, then you should move on to someone who does.

So, if a guy doesn’t walk you to your car, it means that he hasn’t learned the ropes of being a gentleman.

What that will entail in the future and what you will have to put up with further down the line, is questionable.

4) He’s not a gentleman

Sometimes a guy may not walk you to your car on the first date because he’s not really a gentleman.

He might be a bit of a player who doesn’t have time for a relationship and doesn’t want to commit to anyone.

This guy might be looking for a quick hookup, and he doesn’t want to give you the wrong idea.

He doesn’t want to lead you on, but he doesn’t want to be rude either.

You see, he may not want to walk you to your car because he wants to let you down easy and not make you feel rejected.

He might be trying to soften the blow and give you what you want so you don’t feel rejected.

Now: the difference between this guy and the one I just mentioned, is that this guy knows that walking you to your car would be the gentlemanly thing to do, but he’s not a gentleman, so he doesn’t.

If you get these vibes from a guy, it’s probably best to not have a second date with him.

A man should put all his effort into a first date, the same way a woman does by getting ready and looking beautiful.

So, if he doesn’t walk you to your car, he might not be worth it.

5) He lacks manners

Some guys are just plain old rude and have no manners whatsoever.

They don’t care about being a gentleman and they don’t care about your feelings.

Don’t waste any more time on these guys because they’re not worth it.

They might not walk you to your car on the first date because they don’t care about you and your feelings.

They don’t want to lead you on and they don’t care if you feel rejected.

They’re not worth your time or energy. You’re better off without them.

You see, a guy without manners will start by not walking you to your car, but then things will get worse and he will be rude to you.

You probably won’t want to date him after that, but given his lack of manners, he will probably ask you out again because he doesn’t realize the effect he has on you.

6) He isn’t attracted to you, and doesn’t want to lead you on

Some guys just aren’t attracted to you and don’t want to lead you on.

They might not walk you to your car on the first date because they don’t want to lead you on and give you the wrong idea.

They might like you as a person, but they’re not attracted to you and they don’t want to lead you on.

These guys don’t want to hurt your feelings, but they also don’t want to lead you on.

Perhaps, they might want to let you down easily and not make you feel rejected.

These guys aren’t being mean or rude. They’re just being honest. You might want to let them down easy too and not lead them on.

You see, walking you to your car would maybe imply a goodnight kiss, or even more than that.

So he simply avoids that by not walking you to your car.

7) He’s shy and he doesn’t want to make a move

Some guys are shy and don’t know how to make the first move or ask you out on a date.

They might not walk you to your car on the first date because they don’t know how to make the move.

They might be nervous and shy and don’t know how to best walk you to your car.

They might freeze up and lose their confidence at the last second.

You see, they might not want to make a move because they’re shy and nervous and don’t know what to do or say.

Walking you to your car sometimes comes with the expectation of a kiss or some other sort of goodbye.

This can make a shy guy panic, and he might freeze up.

He might not want to make a move because of his shyness.

If that is the case, you will definitely notice him being nervous and fidgety, so maybe just give him time and another chance.

8) He wants to take it slow

Some guys want to take things slow and take their time when it comes to dating.

They might not walk you to your car on the first date because they want to go slow and take things as they come.

These guys might not want to walk you to your car because they don’t want to rush things and move too fast.

They might have feelings for you, but they want to take things slow and not rush anything.

They might have feelings for you, but they don’t want to rush things. They want to take it slow and let things play out at their own pace.

Now: whether walking you to your car is really “rushing” it, is another question.

To be honest, I think that on a first date walking you to your car is simply the responsible thing to do for a guy.

9) He’s afraid of commitment

Some guys might not walk you to your car because they’re not ready for a serious relationship.

They’re not ready to commit and they don’t want to make promises they can’t keep.

You see, they don’t want to lead you on or make you think that they’re ready for something when they’re not.

They don’t want to walk you to your car because they might be afraid of commitment and don’t want to lead you on.

Perhaps these guys might have feelings for you, but they’re just not ready for a serious relationship.

In that case, you will have dodged a bullet.

Being with someone who is afraid of commitment is terrible, so if that is the case, get out of there!

10) He just wants to be friends

Some guys might not walk you to your car on the first date because they just want to be friends.

They don’t want a relationship, and they just want to be friends.

These guys might not walk you to your car because they want to keep things friendly and casual.

They might not want to walk you to your car because they don’t want to lead you on or make you think that they want more when they don’t.

They might want to keep things friendly and casual and don’t want to make it awkward or lead you on.

Now, while I understand how walking to the car can imply more romantic connections, all of my male friends still like to make sure that I’m safe, no matter what.

So, it really depends on the guy, I guess!

Should you go on a second date?

Whether you want a second date or not is up to you.

It’s hard to give advice based solely on the fact that this guy didn’t walk you to the car.

How was the rest of the date? Was the chemistry there? Did you both seem to enjoy yourselves?

Just because he didn’t walk you to your car is not an immediate red flag, but it might be a cause to watch him a bit closer from now on and see if he is truly the man you want to be with.
