TheNextLawyer Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hi people. Haven't posted here for ages but now I've come back with a vengeance. So my date tonight. I would rate it 8/10 as an experience in enjoyment, but 3/10 for chemistry. I couldn't be more laid back or jokey, and didn't mind having a contradictory opinion or two. But before the date was over I was told simply "I had a nice time, but I would like to be friends". I didn't want to just nod and smile meekly so I was quite quick to say something back to that, even including "You are very pretty but I wasn't feeling it either". Although I must admit I found her quite attractive and she had some nice stuff to say which kept me interested most of the time. She did explain that she had been in a long term relationship for many years which ended a bit harshly and now was looking for friends and fun times. Well I was hoping to get something sexual going in all honesty as I won't be long around here before flying back home. But she didn't reciprocate any of the gentle touches she gave me, and although there was some good mocking going on, I never felt it was on the lines of flirting. I do think she could sense my lack of satisfaction by being unemployed but I only confirmed that I wasn't making income after the gentle let-down. We ended on a hug and she said to stay in touch but I am in two minds now. Anything you can suggest I did wrong or more detail than please respond. I will be around in other threads to try and repay your precious time. Link to post Share on other sites
deathandtaxes Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 She's just being polite. Don't take it so personally. You're not for her. I really hope you didn't say something like the "You are very pretty but...". And perhaps she could sense that all you wanted was a hookup. Don't worry about it. Plenty of women out there that are looking for hookups. Link to post Share on other sites
