Ouch EY2. That's rough. Dating sucks. Background: hung out with guy about 5 times, nice guy. Wanted to see where it goes but no real spark developed. Tried to "give em a chance". Sent text, and he sends a short, condescending text back. Stupid

Struggle with this as well. I've found myself ghosting 3 people, feels pretty shitty

That's not cool. Tell him to F off and that you didn't like him anyway

What did your text say?

What did HIS text say?

I'm very curious on this as well. I'm recently back into dating after 3+ year relationship and have gone out on a couple of dates with 6 or 7 guys but not feeling the spark with any of them. Sigh, maybe my standards are too high...is it too much to ask to not want to cringe when you picture getting naked with them?

@a2 of course that's not too much to ask. Think about how many guys you'd met in your life before hitting it off with your ex. It'll definitely take more than 6 or 7 guys but it will happen!

@strat1 - lol, I'm such a consultant! All these did dates seem so inefficient! Has to be a better way...

I went on a date last week and it went really well. We basically set up 2nd & 3rd dates that night. 2nd date's Friday for drinks and 3rd date is drag brunch. Date had to end pretty early bc she's in the med field and needs to wake up around 5am. I'm new to dating people my own gender and I want to make moves but I'm nervous/hesitant since I'm new to this. There was light touching, leaning in, eye contact, but I want to do more. Anything I should do on the 2nd date? How to initiate?
