Who knows what her reasons are. I don't know if its true for you, but many guys pursue only one woman at a time, which is a huge mistake. If I were you, I would line up some dates with other women, and would not go out of my way to hide it. Once youre dating 3, 4 or more women at the same time, you have very little time to sit there and wonder why this one is all of a sudden less interested. Not to mention, despite what women will tell you, it makes you much much more attractive to other women.

He may not have had the opportunity to juggle 3-4 women at the same time; I rarely (if ever) do, even when using the online format.

I've only had one woman (that I recall) proudly announce (unprovoked) that she was seeing other guys (I never ask). It was a huge turnoff. I wasn't born yesterday so I wasn't surprised (in the least) but found that announcing it was kind of unnecessary/insulting. It certainly didn't make her much more attractive to me.

For sure. Women want a guy that has other options.

I think a lot of guys want to be juggling multiple women in the early stages until one proves herself to emerge from the pack, but even with online dating, that's easier said than done. The focus should be on multiple women if possible. With sites and apps, it is way easier to have 2-3 first dates per week until someone emerges.

And the breath can and will cancel out all the positives: good looks, personality, common interests, etc., etc.!
Lucky you indeed.

Any morning breath prevention secrets? As far as I understand, morning breath is not really preventable but certain strategies (flossing, etc.) can mitigate its severity. I thought it was mainly a function of closed/dry mouth so not much we can do to prevent it while sleeping. If you have any prevention methods that work, please share!

Really? If I find that a guy is juggling a bunch of other women, then they can have him. I want to be with someone who likes me, not who's waiting for me outshine the rest of his harem.

I actually don't go on that many first dates (way <1/week, maybe 1/month if averaged over time) and am comfortable (enough) financially where the cost of dating is not an issue. One good thing about dinner dates is they've helped me discover some of my favorite restaurants in the area.
You've got to do more with finding local events. Look through Thrillist, the Yelp Events page, maybe your free alternative weekly rag (Boston has at least one of them), the local newspaper's website. You should be able to find local events. I'll agree that scheduling a dinner is easier, but if it doesn't get you what you need, axe it.

I do not care at all about local restaurants in my area.

In the early stages, how does he know that you aren't seeing multiple guys at the same time? It protects him against you choosing one of your other options.

I think it is large city post-college dating environment, men and women are both juggling multiple options at the same time in the early stages, waiting for one option to outshine the others.

That was my exact experience with the girl who was so proud to announce she was seeing multiple men. There was a time or two we planned to meet and she canceled. Just came off as disrespectful of my time; I did not find her seeing multiple people attractive in any way, shape, or form.

Op, she clearly got bored because you didn't take the hint. When she kissed you on the first date, she fully expected you to bang her. You failed. She even gave you a second chance (date) and made her intentions know again. You failed then too.

If a woman is remotely interested in you, she will put out on the first date. If you don't get at least a BJ after a couple of hours together, it's time to move on.
