So, I went on a date last weekend and another date with a different guy last night. I've known both guys for a year or so through professional avenues.

I find them both attractive and while I enjoyed my dates with both of them, I literally felt nothing.

I've been single for 2 months now and am not looking for a relationship, but I might as well have been on a date with my mother. What's wrong with me?

It sounds like you're not in a place to be dating or having a relationship. So you should probably make that clear up front and/or perhaps give up dating altogether until you actually want it.

The "single for 2 months" comments implies that you may have been in a long term relationship before. If that's the case, then you're probably just not ready to see new people.

Just be single. Seems like you don't need to be dating at all. No disrespect meant at all.

Maybe you felt nothing because you are not looking for a relationship?

Why are you going on dates if you aren't looking for a relationship? Do they know this? Or are they wasting their money in hopes of dating you? Are you looking for a hook up? Try tinder

I usually wait at least a couple dates before I start feeling them...

I went on these dates because I want to enjoy their company. We did not sleep together. I'm not looking for a hookup. They aren't looking for relationships, just company. And for those of you who have your jimmies rustled about me trying to bilk guys for expensive dates, one was just watching movies at my house and having some beer and the other I paid for. So, please calm your assumptions.

So how are these "dates"? It sounds more like you're both looking for friendship.

I understand where you are coming from...

On the rare occasion I find someone attractive whether it's due to their appearance or personality characteristics, I try and consider if they would be suitable for a relationship. 100% of the time, I feel nothing. Most of the time I wouldn't even be able to consider them to be suitable as friend, but more of an enhanced acquaintance where sex could be mutually exchanged.
