I meant the NY region but ah just leave this alone. You won't change anything by contacting her again.

The point of this thread is...what? Would you rather your date say "I'm not interested" immediately and walk out in the middle of the date?

I'll say the most cliche thing that everyone hates hearing, even myself, there's more women out there that are better suited for you.

You ought to tell her that before you meet her and reach an agreement like "If either one of us doesn't like the other one then we excuse ourselves"

No one's "time is wasted"

Geez FBJ - did you have some fun while you were together?

Did you laugh a little, smile a little, enjoy the company??

Encounters like these may not turn into having a girlfriend, but they are hardly a waste of time

I think I see part of your problem right now

I would probably prefer that she said that she wasn't interested if she wasn't interested. If she walked out in the middle of the date, I'll live. However, I wouldn't walk out in the middle of the date. I do try to keep things honest, but pleasant. If I'm not interested, I would find a pleasant way to say it. Like;

Maybe put in a compliment at first.


However, there would have to be a ton of clashes for me to get to that. (I'm not talking arguments, but conflicting values. Or She'd have to do or say something that would make me think that she is going to tear me to pieces down the line)

As far as appearances, I've found attraction to be rather unpredictable. (If the person makes me feel wanted, than I am attracted. Looks have proven to not matter. However, I want to make sure I look good for my woman. I might even wind up with someone who is obese. )

I'd rather her say she's not interested if she is not, than leave me waiting and wondering...

As the saying goes, the truth shall set you free. I'd be free to pursue other interests in this case.

Oh, he's in pain. That's the pain talking!



OP, it's best to move on from it. Don't think about the reasons, but at the same time, believe what you want about the situation. Find what you need to do to move on and keep bettering yourself.

I'm on a dating site to meet a companion, not looking to just get out the house



An example of getting out of the house will be saturday, I posted an ad for a platonic friend and we are supposed to meet for coffee and she is going to be my dating counselor. I call that a productive outing because I am getting some info that can be useful


But just going out to meet someone and never heard from them again is a waste
