Unfortunte but most guys will try to hang out to try and get laid.....
or get back in touch in hopes of getting laid.. No matter how bad it went.

Sometimes even when you tell them there is NO connection.. they still do it
asking "why"...."whats wrong with me"

yeesh

I'm sure I had a great date thinking we hit it off and there would be more but there was none. I can't remember any right now for I've been lucky that it has not happened to me lately. But I"m sure it will come up again sometime. Part of the dating game. Easier to be dishonest than to be honest, that's all. Might bug u at first, but eventually u have to wave it off, let it go or it would only drive u nuts while he even forgot that the 2 of u even met.

Wow, this just happened to me, which is why I'm here. Didn't even meet him in a dating situation, but we chatted online for about six months. Finally had two incredible dates, lots of physical attraction (which we ended up acting on and both enjoying immensely), he introduced me to his friends, invited me to a major event in his life as his date coming up in a few weeks, suggested we go away, called or emailed every day. Then after a normal day of calling/emailing/IMing, there was nothing. A week ago today. I sent a "hey, how's it going? I've been busy, call me" email on Friday. Still nothing.

I don't care; I'm taking the control back. Yes, I'm sure it means he's not interested, but he has no right to leave me waiting and wondering, especially with this future date on the calendar. So I'm going to send him a last email that says it's clear we're not compatible and I wish him luck. If I run into him again, I'd rather he look ashamed and realize he screwed up than for me to have regrets as to how I handled it. It's his loss.

Most of all, though, I miss the email banter we had for so long. If he had just been a man and admitted that he didn't want what I did, we could have gone back to at least the discussions we had before about football and work and just joking around.

Nope and I'm not being arrogant here. Could happen down the pike. I've gotten to the point where I'm not trying to impress them and I'm myself. I listen and look at body language. Body language is a pretty good sign.

Drinking is out cause it impairs my ability to clearly see things for what they are. Can't see reality thru a martini glass.

One more thing I'm working on, haven't mastered: not having an expectation. Look at it from a standpoint of call or don't. There's another bus after that one. There are no wrong trips to be taken. It is a learning experience.No worries. In the grand scheme of things I'd figure it wasn't meant to be.

Hi
The whole thing about the dating sites is that people get addicted to them, and even when 2 people click and are past the point of getting serious, the guy usually has sooo many other women up his sleve , that he just goes on from , next gal, next gal etc... These sites are more like only a chat line cause over 95 % of people are just playing games !!!!!! THE TRUTH

anytime a date ends in sex.
usually there wont be a second


SO not true... I've been there and everyone... whether we messed around or not practically stalk me after a date. There is no second date because they harrass me too much!

I can't say why it happens... just that it happens to me alot. Unfortunately I think there have been some people I would have had potential with who did not recognize my interest and hence vanished. But... I am not about to chase someone.

but of course perhaps toward they just weren't into to me or you. we all have to play the fun polite game sometimes and maybe we had a blast but they are just not the "one"

Maybe I'm doing something wrong here.I don't want to think that guys won't ask you out because the didn't score with you the first time they meet you.Last week I met a guy for coffee and talked for hours.He suggested we meet again for supper or do something else.
When I go out to meet a guy for coffee I expect him to let me know if he likes me and is interested.Even tell me if there is a chance of getting together or not instead of not hearing from him.Even if it's just a short one saying "Sorry but you are not my type."I feel that with first meetings you never get to know if each other with one meeting unless they are grossly ugly.

I don't put much stock in the first meet and greet cos I know it can be awkward to end things without saying you want to see the other person again. But if you've been out a few times and especially if you've been intimate, you should be a decent human being and tell the other person you don't want to see them anymore. I don't know why it is so hard to do - if you are so chicken, send an email or leave a voice mail. But seriously, I feel to see how a guy can be scared of little old me.

What really baffles me is when the vanishing wonder doesn't respond to emails asking what the hell happened. It may not seem a big deal to them but sometimes people need closure. Is it really too much to ask for people to be civil to one another?

That was my last one back around a day after Easter. OK Easter was a bad day I mentioned as a month prior my son and I were going to have a brunch together.

I remember beforehand I told him "Happy Easter" left message that was not returned till Monday. We went out Monday night, never heard back. He always seemed in a hurry.

In Sweden most men on the first date are polite and lie about seeing you again. I think they like dating too much. I read about it on the date sites in Sweden . Of course it has happened to me. I learned it best to enjoy the nice treatment and if you go out again it is a bonus.

. I think dates should not say anything until you dated a while. Both dating partners should enjoy dating then be careful what they say.. A man or woman should be able to stop dating by being honest . Do you not think that?

The right one for you will stay
