I think you did the exact right thing. Even though you didn't feel anything right away, you gave it a fair chance, and ended it knowing it wasn't going anywhere. That showed respect to yourself and your date.
Last summer I decided to dive into the online dating pool. I went on some first dates but never any seconds. I'm the type who knows if something, anything is there, right away, else I ditch it. I got the " you are being too picky, give them a chance" lecture from a few. So I went on two dates with a guy when I knew there was no attraction or interest whatsoever. I tried, and I found out on the second date he was really bitter towards his son's mom, I just knew it wasn't going anywhere. So I politely let it go.
I still tried. I went on a date with a guy and it was actually a nice date. I got a little excited about it, even though I didn't get "that" feeling. he was funny, we laughed, and when I got up to use the restroom he ordered a dessert with ice cream because he remembered I had told him it was my favorite dessert. We planned to discuss a second date. However, 2 days later I met exNG and I knew immediately I was going to fall in love with him. And I did, lol.
You don't have to date a guy just because he has a good job and treats you well. You really did give it a fair shot. Like Mozza mentioned, if you force it, you will turn into an unhappy WAW type. Mozza gave you awesome advice. Look for ones that interest you, instead of only ones that email you. Good luck, and I'll be rooting for you
