Dating - I'm so through....(rant)

[grneyedmustang]

I met this guy online on craigslist, we had been exchanging emails back and forth for a little over a month. One day, he asks me for my number. I gave him the number, we talked on the phone pretty regularly, and he asked me out. We went out this past Friday night and had dinner at On The Border. The conversation was nice, we talked about a lot of different things, and I thought a good time was had by all...but we'll see.

So come Saturday am, I send him an email to let him know that I had a really good time Friday night. He did call me Saturday night, and he acknowledged that he received the email. When we spoke Saturday night, we talked for about five minutes. He then says "let me call you back."

Well, here it is Monday. No callback. No email. Nothing.

:redface: I hate feeling like this. I call it the dreaded "day after a date" curse. I call it a curse because almost anytime I go out on a date with a guy, I never hear from him again after the first date.

(And I know it's only Monday...but my track record isn't so good in this department. And why didn't he respond to my email???)

I'm starting to think there's something REALLY UNATTRACTIVE about me. I'm not sure what it is, but I really need to fix it.

I'm sure there is not something really unattractive about you. Sometimes people just don't click in person. There are a lot of reasons that he could have and you might never know them. But, there is also no reason to lose all faith. I guess, despite all my bad dates and bad relationships and sleepless nights crying into my pillow, that's what I try to cling to. That faith that there will be someone for me. That I'll have a good time with friends and good stories about bad dates and body pillows until that someone comes along, but there WILL be a someone.

Try to keep your chin up. Be sad for a bit, but then dust yourself off and think "on to the next."

Yeah, me too.

:mad: Dating suckssssss! :twisted:

[grneyedmustang]

Thanks all for the support and listening to me rant.

I just don't get it???? If this was a one time occurrence, then no biggie. But this happens almost everytime I date.

Situations like this make me want to stop dating altogether.

[ScottyTheBody]

Yeah, me too.

:mad: Dating suckssssss! :twisted:

I agree.

I agree, I've gone out with lots of guys who were perfectly attractive by conventional standards, and decent guys, but I just didnt feel it with them, so we didnt go out again. Chemistry is one of those things you just cant analyze, there's no rhyme or reason for it, so you can't let yourself take it personally.
