I had one bad experience in high school. Gave up the idea of dating in college after I saw how the hook-up culture was. I turned down spending some time late night with a girl who had a boyfriend because the girl I liked in high school never told me about this guy she was seeing (didn't want to hurt my feelings) and I really didn't want to do that to a girl's boyfriend that I have never even met. I got daggers from her a few times throughout the year because I rejected her. Besides that, I didn't meet anyone in college worth going after. During my year of working before grad school and post college, I did try dating apps but with no success. Only got a few responses that got bored with me quickly. Before grad school, went on a trip and met a girl. We really hit it off in terms of attraction but another guy kept trying to take her attention and get with her. Got pretty annoying to say the least . With him around, I barely had time to actually talk to her. Later on, we went on our first casual date 1.5 months later and sporadic coffee here and there. She's very difficult to read, she's usually a lot more talkative with me when she's either drinking or we're having coffee. A few times she's gotten flirty while drinking but I can never tell if that's just for me or she does that to everyone. On my trip, she gave obvious signs: huge smiles, stares, touching my shoulder, getting to know me. We haven't been able to seemingly reignite that feeling which kind of stinks. She also hasn't really invited me to do stuff I feel I have to instigate all our hangouts.

I wouldn't be too willing to participate in that meeting. As much crap as I've said here, I wouldn't be surprised if some wanted to try me because of what I've said.

I would consider attending a northeast / east coast meeting but include the midwest and I'd decline. Judging by most of the values expressed here, the midwest seems to be 50 years behind the coasts.
