we're an item... Went out with him twice in three weeks. He seems rather naive and boyishly sweet for a man in his 30s. I gave him NO encouragement or implied reference to future dates, in fact I barely gave him a brush across the lips at the end of date two. Now there is absolutely zero spark to me, but he is planning our summer together. Hate to burst his bubble...just venting...something I have to do before the weekend. :-(

That's rough but you're doing the right thing to end it now (the earlier the better). Good luck.

I was going to ask if you sexed him up so well that eyesight and hearing is impaired.

Just tell him you enjoyed the company but are not feeling like he is. 2 dates in 3 weeks is way too little time together to be planning the summer together which is a whole season away. Most mature adults in his case will feel disappointed but glad they did not waste their time by being told things upfront.

I get from the description of naive that perhaps he has remained single until now, And really likes you and is rushing things due to the spark he is feeling as he wants to settle down. That spark has to be mutual however.

Sage advice Mr. Scott, just have to do it. I will next time he calls, after two dates I assume phone is not unacceptable.

Over the phone is not unacceptable as it was only 2 dates and there was no established relationship, even a casual one or real physical contact.

I think doing it by phone is acceptable.

[at this point in the 'relationship']

You need to get the call block feature. T-Mobile offers this and it's a great feature for dating.

I just blocked someone last week

Who knows, he might not even care.

I'm easily excited by making plans myself. Honestly, I don't think I'd be able to date a girl who isn't like me because I'd put them off haha. I'd just end it though, he'll drive you nuts and that stuff won't end.
