Really great comments so far. Believe it or not that is refreshing rather than reading while shaking my head and rolling my eyes. WTG gang. I very much relate with what you’re going through. Now only if I had some great suggestions. I do winder if it’s not the guys but the frame of mind you’re in. I get it. It’s like a no win. Stay away from OLD or dating in general but that’s frustrating. Try dating but that’s frustrating too. It’s like a no win. But like the others, unless I’m missing something, this guy seems worth a second date. I mean what’s the downside? Is it worse to try again with the chance it doesn’t amount to anything or close the door and guarantee it won’t. It’s nice to have that first date spark where you’re often thinking about him and hoping he will call or dreaming of that next date. It’s nice when everything just falls into place but is that realistic? It seems to happen for me like once a year. I too have experienced where the other person gets more attractive as time goes on. I’ve had it said to me - either as a backhanded compliment or hopefully just a very honest person who told me right out the more time we spend together the more attractive I become. Ouch but I also get it.
I fear until you get into a better head space none of these guys are going to excite you. What else can they do? He was attractive. You had fun. Doesn’t sound like he went right to the physical with you. Well what else could he have done? Or were you just not feeling it? If so I again fear it’s you. I just don’t know how to get you out of it. But if you’re forcing yourself to date, perhaps that’s your answer. I thought you were taking a break from dating and for sure from OLD? You’re caught in this repeating cycle.
What happened to the guy your coworker was setting you up with? What happened to the hiking group guy?
