We don't all do it that way. I personally wanted a lover. I've mentioned before that I did not take the opportunity if I did not want a relationship with her. I also only dated one woman at a time. I did however have several chat lines open so if one didn't work out I moved on. But as soon as I found my lover I stopped chatting to the others. That's just me.

There, I'm being open and honest.

Maybe he isnt/wasn't that physically attracted to you but just wanted sex.

I know that if a girl is fine, especially after I sleep with her I want more. If she asks me when are we going out again, I'm saying this weekend. She wouldn't need to ask because I would of told her I wanted to see her again before she even thought why hasn't he asked me out?

The only time I would treat a girl the way your describing is if she is average to less than average looking and I had nothing better else going on while I was trying to upgrade for better prospects.

This was my younger days not now

Without trying to sound arrogant, doubt it's my looks. I modeled til last year, so I have a great body and a good face. I guess he just didn't like me, or just wanted sex from the start. Whatever. I'm over it.

You say the guy had a 5 year relationship that imploded on him. I went though that in my mid/late 20's. I'd date people, the relationship would progress to a certain point, and I'd bail out. Sometimes it was after a few dates and sex. Sometimes it was after 4 to 6 months. We all have our baggage. I blew up some perfectly good relationships with quality people because of it.

It doesn't matter how hot you are. I understand how his mind works, because I've done it.


If you're a man that has no real interest in settling down, loves the chase, and has plently of options, it won't matter how hot the girl is, he can easily create new options. It's a losing battle for a woman. There's not much you can do. He definitely thinks you're attractive enough to sleep with but that's about it.

Maybe try doing dating the old-fashioned way:

1. Meet men in ways other than OLD...through friends, at the bars, in public places, through work.

2. Save OLD strictly for when you just want to get laid. Avoid it as much as possible.

3. Pretend this is the ancient times, before you were born...there was no social media, no cell phones, no internet. All you had was your telephone, attached to a wall, not even an answering machine. You called, or waited for a call, that was the only form of communication available. Sometimes you weren't home & if someone was interested in you, they actually had to call you back, maybe several times. In other words, no instant access.

4. If you meet someone & are attracted to him, don't be in a rush to jump into bed. Get a good vibrator to scratch that itch. Get to know him through conversation & nonsexual activities.

Whether it's OLD dating or not, it won't make a difference. A guy will go after the good regardless of the platform. Especially if she's younger.

Uh, yes, I know that, it has always been that way. OLD makes it easier to "get the goods", and has lowered everyone's expectations, it appears.
