Who's Buying This Round? Part 5

[Golfgirl1]

Barb,
He is a nice guy and I do enjoy his company, but it already feels complacent and kind of boring to me. It's almost as if Thursday night rolls around and I get the obligatory text asking if I still want to get together? It all seems so "business like." Where's the fun, playful, flirty message of "I can't wait to see you." I sent him a playful text and got back a 'logical' response. It's becoming obvious to me that he either doesn't have that side or doesn't want to show it to me. I want a guy who can be playful and make me laugh (BA and wii seem to have no problem in this department). I've dated guys like Dave before and I end up getting frustrated and even a bit mad that they can't just be fun and playful. My xh was not a playful guy and I want different this time; I know I can't settle.

Another thing is that I'm ending up planning everything because he doesn't know of places to go. Our talk last week revealed that he has few friends, works from home, and really doesn't go out that much. The exact opposite of me! Again, another similarity with my xh who never wanted to go anywhere or do anything. Did I resonate with Dave simply because he brought back that old safe and familiar feeling? I'm having to think about that because I don't want what I had.
