Tanya’s confused.
Why does dating have to be so freekin’ complicated?
As I posted yesterday, I went on date #2 with someone last night… Dinner and a movie. I had a good time talking to him on the phone the night before — He even had me laughing a few times. When I arrived to pick him up last night, though, (he doesn’t have a car — He lives in Kits so he really doesn’t need one right now) he just seemed a bit ‘detached’. No hug, and barely a hello really. Perhaps he’s shy, but I don’t think that’s it. Then again, maybe I’m reading him wrong.
We got to the sushi place on Broadway, and had a nice meal. The conversation wasn’t really forced, but I really couldn’t shake that feeling still. We seem to have a whole lot in common, both personally and professionally, and our outlooks on life are very similar. We seemed to be connecting on some levels, but still, I couldn’t help but think that something was missing.
I did learn that he’s been in 3 one year relationships in his life. Perhaps that’s it? I dunno.
We each paid our own share of the bill, and then headed off to an early movie since dinner didn’t take very long (20 minutes?) Again, we got to the theatre, and each paid our own share… I don’t have a problem with this, except that he didn’t even attempt to pay for mine. I guess, though, in this day and age, that’s not really a prerequisite is it? We saw “Laws of Attraction” — An enjoyable movie, but nothing special — And then promptly said goodnight at 9:30 when I dropped him off at home. Again, no hug, and no real excitement from him. Maybe he was picking up some strange vibe from me.
Weird. Usually I walk away from a date knowing whether or not I want to see someone again. I guess if I didn’t have an immediate feeling either way, then it should be “no”?

I had a few dates like that when I was single. The way I see it is simple – if you aren’t so sure, there probably isn’t enough chemistry there or it’s gonna take too much work to get things started.
All my good relationships have been easy to start. Things are relaxed, the chemistry is good. No “meh” kinda feelings.
Sorry to hear oh well more fishies in the sea start the boat and get back out there girl….Next….hehehehe
your kkeeuuttee!!
I agree completely Mike. Onward I go. Next!
Diane — You’ll have to introduce me to some of those nice single male friends of yours!
Aww… Thanks Adam!
I say three strikes, then they’re out. My dating philosophy, at least.
