| Hey guys,
There's been this ongoing trend I've noticed; and it's gotten to the point where I can pretty much call it before it even happens.
I'll go out on a date with a girl (most online, but a few lately I've met in clubs beforehand).
We'll have a great time. I'll escalate, and we'll make out. Usually several times; many times she even comes with me to the second place and picks up the second round of drinks, since I got the first.
Each time she swears up and down that she wants to see me again, even texting me this later that night when she gets home.
The problem? I go for a 2nd date and, no-go.
Last week just that happened too; and I was even so sure of it that as I was heading out with my buddies to sarge Fri. night, I told him about the date and said, "Generally, the dates I have where things go really far really fast on the first night; I never hear from her again; like this one Thursday, I'll never hear from her again."
She and I had done a ton of txting prior to meeting. She seemed all about me, and late on in our date (after a makeout) she said that she never kisses guys on a first date. She later said she's never met anyone like me. Oh and I asked her to txt me when she got home just so I'd know she got home ok. She did, and said she definitely wants to see me again.
I texted her Saturday morning (a reasonable 2-ish days later) "Hey! How's it going?" No response.
About 9:00pm the same night, I txted, "Did you still want to do something again?"
I got an immediate response, "Hey, you're a nice guy and all, but I just don't think this is gonna work. I don't think we have enough in common. Sorry."
I txted back, "Nice. You could've just told me that back right away."
I know exactly what the fuck's going on here!
These girls are getting home, and over the next day or so they're reading through every single text we ever exchanged, and replaying every single moment of our date over and over in their heads, cross-examining them, probably even showing txts or photos to her girlfriends, maybe being told, "You kissed him??!! You never kiss a guy on a first date!"
Then they decide, "He's not perfect, so no."
What the fuck am I supposed to do??!! It's getting to the point where this is so overwhelmingly predictable it's driving me nuts. To be fair, the drinks we have on date 1 generally don't hurt as far as moving in the direction of a makeout.
But these are some decent connections I'm establishing here! A girl will come out with me for a 6 hour evening lol, always bounce with me to another venue, and even buy me an expensive drink or two (Adam Lyons "investment" theory, anyone?)
Odds are, if something was seriously wrong with me or how I did the date, I'd have heard about it that night, either on the spot or via txt when we got home later that that night. There would be no makeouts or enthusiastic txts that she wants to see me again.
But that can't explain why so many think and think and think and overthink their way right out of wanting to ever see me again. I'm sick of this shit!
What do I have to do to keep her from thinking so much where I don't even get to date 2? What do most of you guys do?
