What makes the OP think these women would go out with him again if he did ask? So many times he mentions money in posts. Being cheap is a big, if not the biggest red flag with the people I know.

I know you aren’t going to believe me (frankly I don’t give a or ) but a lot of my first dates ask me for second dates or hint they want a second and I typically turn them down or don’t respond to them at all.

Yeah, I mention money all the time because I resent being the guy meaning I have to pay. You’re damn right I have a problem with it.

The one that didn't fit that category happened thanks to an OLD profile I put up for research purposes with no intention of actually dating. I made it as long winded and pompous as I could and didn't expect any response. When I got one it caught me me so far off guard that I couldn't talk or outright lie my way out of it. The resulting lunch was like pulling teeth. I made sure to lose her number immediately afterwards.
So your not interested yet hang out on the Relationship forum. That's weird.

Like I said, research. This stuff drives people in a way I hope I'll never experience, but I hope I can learn enough to write about it when I have to. Not as the main focus of a story, but certainly a trigger that sends someone into an uncontrollable downward spiral where their capacity for logical thought and reliable perception deserts them. You lot make a very interesting little ant farm .

Oh. The condescending "I'm above all this" ploy. Yeah, we believe that.

You just wrote that you've only ever been on a handful of dates. I've been screwing up relationships royally for many decades. Hopefully, I've learned something from my long list of mistakes and I've gotten better at it. I participate in message boards to try to learn and share what I've learned. This one is no different.

You just haven't made the mistakes yet. You will because pretty much everybody does unless they're a hermit.
