I've been on a few dates with a new lad. He's attractive and tall, friendly and conversational. He's a good guy. He's nice. He's a winner. After seeing him three times, I cant stand him.
Maybe it's the clinging. Maybe he bores me. Maybe he's too pessimistic. He irritates the bejeezus out of me and what was a great first date (albeit I showed up late, late, late) by the third, I knew some wiring between us just wasn't connecting.
I left the last date thinking we would hang out again, more as friends getting to know each other than potential romancers. It's been at least two weeks and I've avoided all of his invitations. I've avoided discussions, too. I guess I'm just not that into him.
Looking back at our first conversations, I remember feeling skeptical about him and how well we would get along. He struck me as too needy and weak but I ignored those feelings, figuring I was being too judgmental. One thing from this dating that I keep learning: trust your feelings. After the third date, I felt pretty strongly that they were just going to get worse. I was on a road to Dullsville.
How long do you need with someone to know him? Is one meeting enough? Is three?
