I'm a moron, and I make horrible decisions

So I went on a date last night with a young lady, who when texting asked all the right questions, had great conversation skills, and even seemed cute in her pictures.

Unfortunately she was nothing like that in person. She acted like a 14 year old hyper child, spouting off random things at random times, using horrible catch phrases and weird terms to get her point across, she also didn't indicate that she was a hippy, or that she partook in certain illegal substances. Also, on her dating profile she says that she is in the hospitality industry, and she's actually unemployed. Why, oh WHY, is it so hard to just find someone who is on a similar level as me? That doesn't have a ton of habits, and has their crap together. This is driving me insane...

I also made the additional sin of letting things go too far, way too fast. It had been like 2 months... that's an eternity for me.

    Today is a new day! Is there any chance this could turn into a funny date story in a few weeks or months? :flowerforyou:

    We've all been there! I feel your pain. Last night I went out with a guy I had GREAT chemistry with online but kinda eh in reality. We got our locations mixed up so I thought he stood me up then he turned out to be shorter than me. I get stretching the truth. But he said 5'7" and was probably 5'3"!!! Still, we still talked for several hours comfortably and I let it go further than I should have... Your 2 months is nothing compared to my draught, haha! It'll work eventually right?!

    Sorry to hear about your date. It is hard for anyone to find the right person. Believe me, I have been disappointed on numerous occasions myself. It does not make you a moron because you had a bad date. You just chalk that up to experience and move on.

    The right person is out there for you and the rest of us on this site.

    Aww, too bad about him. And I hear ya on the drought. 2 months is nothing at all for me, either. At this point, two years is looking like shorttime to me now.

    OP: Drugs is always something I've double checked about before even meeting someone I hear about from a friend or discover online. That drama I'm just too old for!

    Yes, there was humping. No, it wasn't good.

    If it was good would the date have been better?

    Damn it Bryan stop internalizing what you can't control. Did you know she was going to be an inappropriate, fibbing hippy when you set up the date? nooooooooo Well you could have controlled the humping but we have all made bad decisions where that is concerned.

    So, love, brush it off. Crappy dates suck but there will end up being dates that aren't crappy at all.

    There probably would have been plans for a second date if the first one (humping included) was better.

    Jax - How can you bang someone you had zero attraction for?? I really can't get my head round that one!! :huh:

    As for the lies and dating sites and meeting people that you are even remotely compatible with?? I'd say it's now 1 in 10!! I dont know why I plucked that figure out the air, but I suppose I did like 1 in 10 of the men I ever met.

    Keep trying :wink:

    you are certainly NOT a moron!!! i am from the school of thought that it's very very easy to go to far once you get started.

    kissing almost ALWAYS leads to something more. it rarely stops with kissing.

    please don't be so hard on yourself!!!! :-)

    Mental/emotional attraction doesn't have to be present for physical attraction to exist. It's much easier for men to separate that from women. (Not to say that women aren't capable of it. Just depends on the woman.)

    Too much whining! Online dating is really just one blind date after another. . You REALLY don't know what you are getting yourself into until you are sitting in front of the person having a conversation with them. That's the deal you signed up for. I had fun on every one of my 'match.com' dates, even all the ones where the girl turned out to be a complete surprise! You just roll with it. . Plan for the worst, hope for the best. .

    Good luck soldier and get back in there!

    Bad dates happen to the best of us. But this would be my concern now....so now the question is to poof or not to poof??

    Since you had sex, you can honestly say "you just aren't a good fit." :laugh:
