I don't know... that kind of stuff is really dull to me and very money minded. Although I do like having money (and shopping hehe), I don't really like talking about money. And investing. And gains. Really dull to me.
I'd rather talk about TV shows or even favorite colors.

You're going there to evaluate him as much as he evaluates you. The best approach is to go with a "I don't care" attitude, and really mean it. If it works out, fine; if it doesn't, it will with somebody else.

.... with a nice decent guy like this who has a good education, is trustworthy, and has a good career?

FYI: These are usually the most boring men on the planet.

"Boring" is in the eyes of the beholder...

Sydney-I hear you on the boring first date bs talk situation. It's all nerves. You could give him a second chance and this time you take the lead on the conversation. Or if he starts to go on a long tangent, then easily guide him into another subject.

Again, it more than likely was nerves. If it happens again and you can't steer the conversation onto a lighter topic, then maybe move on...

Really? Are YOU nervous, too? I doubt it.

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.
There is no way to make yourself fall in love with someone. You either feel it or you don't. There are so many biological and chemical things going on within our brains that cause attraction/chemistry.

Love is not a logical emotion.

There is also absolutely nothing wrong with you. You just were not feeling this guy. Another guy would make those butterflies chirp, I assure you.

Don't beat yourself up and don't force yourself to like someone who others think is "good for you"

You know, maybe he was nervous too and just talked about familiar things because of it. You seem more than a little immature.
