People of the world, can you please tell me how to not be bored? How can I fall in love? Or make myself fall in love, if that is possible, with a nice decent guy like this who has a good education, is trustworthy, and has a good career?

Also what's wrong with me. because he is/was very compatible.

and the whole time he was talking I just said "mm hm mm hm" and was kind of zoning off.

If the conversation is really that dull to you, change the subject...talk about things with him, that interest you

ETA: If this guy really is truly nice and otherwise compatible with you, at least consider giving him a chance for a second date, with you? To possibly give him a second chance perhaps, to win your heart?

He was probably just bloviating trying to impress you..... but if you are bored, then you're bored..... if boredom with a bunch of men happens... then you need to look inward... otherwise it could just be simply you're not a good fit.....

It happens. I do agree he might of been trying to impress you. And yes change the topic but do it as if you are still corresponding to his topic so he doesn't feel that you don't care. I think it's up to you to make it easygoing or fun. Mostguys can talk your ear off believe me.

First dates can be like that sometimes. He was trying to impress you, that's what guys do when they like a girl.

Give him another chance!

I know but I really hate it when a guy tries to impress me.

But yes giving things another chance.... that is, if he still wants to. I'm sure I didn't exactly come off as enthusiastic.

A guy doesn't try to impress every girl, only the ones that he likes. Perhaps he saw something in you that he found attractive. And considering that he was speaking of venture capitalism, at least it sounds like he has a decent head on his shoulders. Better than the guys from the Jersey Shore, I'll tell you that much.
