Don't get caught up in taking this personally.

Sometimes the chemistry is just not there. In fact, MOST times the chemistry is not going to be there.

But the more efforts you make to meet new people the better your odds of finding what you are looking for.
I know I shouldn't take it too hard but it's kind of a blow to your ego when a mildly attractive guy who is quite overweight is not interested in you. I was just willing to give it a shot cause he seemed like a nice guy. I'm sorry I know that was harsh to say, but just needed to get that out lol.

I am curious about something. You mentioned that you were rather tall and wore boots with very high heels. Are you intentionally making yourself taller than the men you are meeting on the first dates or are you dating really tall men?

This guy was 6"2 so he was still significantly taller than me, even in my heels. I usually don't wear such high heels on my dates, but these boots were new and I really wanted to wear them! Lol

Look at it this way, you now know the answer for sure. You have no doubts, no ifs, ands, or buts, and most importantly, you had a good time.

At least you know you can move on with your life. That everything's okay and that you can always find another individual who hopefully, you will kindle yourself with. There is one thing you should be grateful for, and that was the opportunity to meet someone new and the opportunity to grow stronger. Moving on is what we do and we should be grateful for to have opportunities as these.

Chin up, be happy, move on and hold your head high.

Again, don't focus on the wrong things here or you will make yourself miserable

Chemistry with another person doesn't just happen every day!

DO NOT let your ego convince you that you've somehow been "rejected"!

The guy simply wasn't feeling the chemistry - which is NOT a choice and NOT personal okay?

Remember the days before texting and the three to five day RULE? Haha.



A guy who contacted a woman after a first date sooner than 3-5 days appeared desperate, so it almost never happened. Times a changing.

You wrote off a guy because he didn't call for a 2nd date for a week and a half?

That doesn't seem very long, what is it you are expecting?

We'll he didn't make any contact at all for a week and a half. I'm expecting a guy who is interested in me to contact me in less than a week and a half, I don't think that's asking for much.

I'm a pretty no nonsense wench and I think that is asking too much. Granted, I measure a guys interest by how soon he asked me out on a 2nd date, but I would have allowed that amount of time. You are not going to be someone's top priority, they hardly no you.
