Heart skipping - well, while that’s nice and fun, it can be a poor predictor of a relationship. In my post-divorce dating, all the guys who made my heart skip turned out to be Love Avoidants or otherwise not really available. The longest relationships I have had, have been with men who didn’t make my heart skip at first, including my exH.

Not making you laugh - well, that could be a bigger problem, but two dates might not be enough time for someone’s sense of humor to reveal itself.

I’m for giving him a third date chance.

I’m reminded of a med school classmate who had a crush on me. I never dated him - he seemed too wholesome, “nice”, clean cut, “not my type”. He later met and married a very nice nurse.

I see his posts on FB now. He’s aged very well, his boyish looks now maturely handsome. He obviously still loves his wife and they are enjoying the kind of empty nest adventures I once thought I would have with my exH. It does make me wonder, if I had given him half a chance, maybe my life would have been different?
