    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?!


    I HATE when guys lie about height......big deal for me...
    At least you had good conversation

    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:

    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!

    You just had a bad date.......only problem is ---since things went too far---does she think there will be another date?

    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:

    No problem.

    HC!!! WTF?? YOU aswell???????????? :laugh:

    So, apart from the height disappointment, are you attracted to the guy? :huh:

    It’s interesting you ask that question, Anna, because it’s been on my mind all day. Obviously I was attracted enough or things wouldn’t have gone so far. However, it was lacking that butterflies in the stomach feeling I’ve had with every other relationship. None of those worked though, so I’ve been trying to decide if it might actually be a GOOD thing to not start with that.

    We have a lot in common but not everything, so that’s good. He’s attractive, in good shape, and even more active than myself. Conversation could have flowed all night. He was a gentlemen yet made all the moves…

    So my thoughts are back and forth between whether I’m just not attracted because I’m missing those butterflies OR if it’s a good thing not to start with “movie love” as one of my friends called it, yet enough compatibility to enjoy each other’s company and see where it goes?! Thoughts?

    I’d go out with him again but we’ll see if he calls…. I figure he’s got three days. Anything more and I’m moving on, haha…

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

    If it was good would the date have been better?

    LMAO -- Good humping always makes the date better...

    I don`t see how any humping can be seen as a bad date. :laugh:

    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.

    You sure you're not me? I had a very similar experience on Friday night. Texting back and forth beforehand had me really excited to meet him, and then when I did, I tried to ignore the things that got on my nerves and let it go too far as well. Ugh...

    I feel ya dude.

    It's possible those "butterflies" in your stomach will come. You are attracted to him and you guys get along. I think keeping an open mind and seeing if it works out is enough. Love isn't an engine that needs a spark to get started! lol

    You make her sound like she is crazy. And you clearly thought there was something wrong with her, but slept with her anyway. That opens up a realm of even more crazy...

    You know how girls get after sex!

    Anything inconvenient or bad that happens from here on is your fault... You opened up the floodgates. Good luck, friend.

    <I removed this paragraph and sent it to Jax directly. If he wants he can post it for you>

    Folks on this forum are always telling me to accept the consequences of my life decisions and how my lifestyle scares off “the great guys.” Not judging you, and I have no hard feelings toward you, but maybe you should think about whether there’s anything you are doing, any vibes you are sending out, that are running off the great women.

    Well, I dont know the answer to this one hun. I'm usually one for immediate chemistry or nothing. The one time I did try and let it grow, because of the pre meet amble and huge expectation I'd developed on paper, it didnt grow! :laugh: I just didnt fancy him and I fancied him less as time went on!! :ohwell:

    But that's not to say you can't fan a flicker into a flame! A lot of people I know have developed that way. It depends.......

    Suck it and see!!?? :bigsmile:
