You could have left this whole paragraph out and been fine.

Most responses have affirmed that the OP didn't cause it.

I agree that it's there or it's not...it isn't something you can "make" happen...but it WILL happen...keep going on dates!

No chemistry = not interested in having sex with you, and doesn't foresee becoming interested in the future.

One can like someone just fine but have no interest in banging them.

There is not much you can do if she's not attracted. She just isn't. Find one who is.

The end.

^This. They don't like you enough to date. Just move onto the next one.

You definitely need to be more aggressive and introduce the physical component to some degree.

It's what I felt was appropriate at the time. If you don't like what I wrote, so be it.

It matters nothing to me.

Yes. I see it as a kind of primal attraction. Very base.

Partially...but as a woman I feel it's more than just whether or not I want to have sex with the person. Many of us (I'll never say "all") women subconsciously or consciously think long-term. (This also depends upon our age, stage of life, etc., etc., disclaimer, disclaimer.) But due to this we also want to "click" very well as far as, for example, conversation...basic personality...basic beliefs...etc. Many of these will be revealed, either purposefully (brought into the conversation) or just naturally, during a date. For me, all of those things have to at least very basically click in order for me to feel "chemistry" and want to get to know the man more.

Just wanting to shag the guy isn't what I'd define as "chemistry" in this sense, I'd define it as just lust. And even then, no matter how "hot-looking" the guy, I wouldn't want to shag him if he acted like a total jerk. Even though in that case I'd NOT be thinking long-term. I don't know why. I've actually had this experience..not often as I wasn't often the "huntress" type, LOL, but for example, there was one boy I was CRAZY about physically, having met him briefly at several parties in a row...actually, all the girls wanted him because he was about ten leagues ahead of all the other guys physically...just SO good-looking, holy shoot. We got to talking finally...I started to think, Okay, he's still amazingly handsome...so maybe...Then the chauvinism and idiotic middle school-esque jokes came out and...ugh...Female equivalent of a soft-off. Complete with the "wa-wa-wa-waaaaaaaaaaa" music mentally playing in the background.

Chemistry is probably a pretty complicated thing but a. it all happens pretty fast and b. despite being probably complex, people DO wind up getting together so take heart, let nature do its thing and eventually you'll click with someone.
