So Friday night I went out with a new girl to dinner. I had been texting her for a week or so and she seemed fine, but in person, good lord was she ever boring - I was doing good to get one word terse answers. After ten minutes or so of talking to her, I would have been just as happy to eat alone.
How long does it take you to determine there's no connection?
Depends on the lady of course but for me usually after a drink or 2 I'll know what the future holds or doesn't 😱
On a good day, 120 seconds. I can be turned off by a voice immediately. Just a byproduct of working with the public and on the phones.
I think people need to be careful with the voice thing. Because the opposite is true, too; people can be instantly charmed by a voice, and completely suspend judgment about the person. I've seen that happen. This can make people vulnerable to being taken advantage of. Con artists know this.
I pretty much have either felt at least something of a connection right away, or not at all with that particular person, period, not even over time.
This is kind of me too. The longer I spent time with them, the better likelihood they were going to remain just friends. It's much like what dating is with many men and women I know now. They have no interest in a man or woman that they've known for years. For them, if there was chemistry, it would have happened years ago. it does make a lot of sense to be honest. I have long standing friends that are women that there's no way I'd try and be anything more with than friends now. I believe they feel the same way about me as well.
It seems like the women I know now that are dating are either friends with guys and it's not going anywhere or it's a guy they've met, they like, but it doesn't move towards anything romantic. If they like the guy enough and it doesn't go anywhere, they will tend to separate themselves from that guy. For them they've stated that it would be too hard to be friends with a guy that they feel they're that attracted to. Makes total sense to me.
