Hi guys. Well on friday I went on a date with someone who I met on the internet a couple of weeks ago. I would say it was disastrous, she killed the vibe in the first 30 seconds, I went to hold her hand to walk into the coffee shop and she pulled it away after about three seconds. Then her friend worked there as a waitress, served us and it felt like she was babysitting the whole time. Then just the whole conversation sucked, she kept talking about her ex boyfriends. Everything had something to do with her ex boyfriends. She gave me shit for not going to university, for not having a lot of friends, for my longest relationship only beeing eight months. And she kept saying this "oh well" stuff so I knew she didnt like this date. Then we walked through shops together and I said to her, "we should be more touchy feely, people who walk by are going to think that we have just come out of a bad date" and she was like "who cares what people thinks." Then when we got outside we gave eachother a dreaded peck on the cheek and she awkardly waved goodbye and walked our seperate ways. As soon as it was over I was like "fuck, fuck, that was horrible."
So then I went on some cold approaches and got blown out by about 20 women I think. I dont think I warmed into my body during the whole time, I was more comfortable during the date and before the date. I kept getting like "no I dont think so" or "FYI I have a boyfriend" or "im not in the mood to talk" responses.
I have another date next week with a different girl. I really want to kiss and fuck this girl. I dont want to be like a dating journeyman, so how do I stop a bad date like that from happening again? How do I prevent the date ending with a peck on the cheek and an awkward wave goodbye again?
Where are your boundaries mate?
Listen to me carefully...
A woman cannot be attracted to a man she does not respect!
Re read that every single day until you understand it. If you lose the respect of your woman, you will soon lose that woman. Now, you can either play power games like the immature that overwhelm this site, or you can start by respecting yourself.
This is what worries me my friend - where are your boundaries? How do you want to be treated? What behaviors will you accept, which are you not?
You mention that within the first 30 seconds it felt off. Why on earth did you stay? Time is the one thing in life I can never get back. It is my most precious commodity. I do not give my time to everyone, and I take it away as soon as something does not sit right with me. Don't you value your time brother?
"other people will think we just had a bad date"
The fk is this?? Do you think a man asks for sexual favours? Do you think his justification for affection is so others don't judge him? She is not your mother...
Listen, don't beat yourself up. Bad dates happen, that's fine. But it's important you learn the lessons you needed to learn her - not ignore them with a desperate plea for tactics not to fuck up the next date.
Dates are FUN. You are supposed to ENJOY getting to know a girl, and being around her and having fun with her and hearing her laugh and how cute she looks when she looks into your eyes.. Ahhhh. I love dates SO much! I had two in the past two days and they both were incredible. Why? Because I respect myself.
You have a lot of work to do mate. Figure out your boundaries! Learn to respect yourself and your time. Stop going to cheap coffee shop dates and start manning up. Blow her fucking mind! Let her into YOUR world. My dates have varied from crazy go-karting and a night on the town, to just low-key groceries, cooking, having tea and shisha at my place. It doesn't matter what you do - what matters is that she gets to experience you.
In this case, you were so worried about what she thought, about what other people thought, about not fucking up and about God knows what else that you were not present with her.
That's all she wants! That's all anyone wants - presence. She doesn't need you to solve her problems, or pay for her, or lavish her with gifts... All she wants is for you to be there, with her. I don't mean physically either... But that's stuff you'll have to learn in time I guess.
Best of luck brother
With love and respect
