Naw, it wasn't what I would call horrible. There was sushi, which was wonderful, and he wasn't a bad guy, but he obviously thought I was hot and I just... wasn't feeling it. I told him truthfully that I had a pretty good time and he could call me, but there was no kissin'. Not really sure what to say to him about it. I'm not good at letting guys down easy; they always get a little huffy about it.

Hey, all!
Just on for a few moments before bedtime...had to finally respond to another one of River's "Pay attention to me!" threads. Oy, some people!
I probably won't be on long enough to get the response, but what happened, PR, or is it not something you want to talk about?
If I don't respond tonight, I will be back on tomorrow night...I was so hoping this would work out for you!

Us men tend to let pride rule over us.
If he was nice you can give him a second date.
That is your choice.
You were there. I wasn't.
Maybe he needs some time to let down some walls.
I'm really only speculating.
I know how shy I can be with someone new. Hard for me to make a good first impression.

He just... wasn't very emotive. He didn't have a lot of expression. I wasn't quite sure just what was going on with him, you know? It rankled me a bit. And the attraction just wasn't there (on my part, anyway) it was really rather blah. It's one of those things it's hard to really describe. I'll see him one more time, maybe, but I might have to give the "let's be friends" talk, which will not be fun for me. Really I think I'm just going to say "I don't feel we have real chemistry. I don't think we should date. Sorry." or something like that. Ugh. Dating.

I think it takes years for us men to understand how difficult it for a woman to have say "lets be friends".
But it is part of the process.
I don't envy the position your placed in. I mean all women in general.
He will live.

Hiya PR, since you gave me some advise with my last relationship, allow me to do the same. When I mentioned the whole "I don't think we should date." thing,(before I came begging for advise) the person I told just seemed to shut down, so I'm not sure if it'll work, of course you probably didn't do anything to lead the guy on as I led the girl on.

Eh, if it isnt working for you, it isnt working, and you should (in theory) tell the guy before you go out more. And as to 'ugh dating'... I knew there was a reason I dont do it.
I'm working on the assumption that in a few years time (ie, college probably) I might get into the relationships thing, basically once other ladyfolk are more interested and everyone is legal. This whole mutual respect thing I have going with the opposite gender tends to work out pretty well in making friends with the like-minded, though I admit I'm not looking forward to the unwritten 'rules' of dating. Such madness.
Btw, Rose, love the many changing buddha quotes.

See, I like relationships. I really, really do. But I don't like dating. That awkward, "trying to find a relationship" thing when you have to do things like...this. When things don't click and it's just stressful. A good relationship is stress relief, and that's the difference. And I have to tell ya, Whitefall, it's not going to get magically easier in college. You might even feel more awkward because you won't have... practiced with the flirting and the dating and figuring out of things. That is just my theory, though.

It never gets easy. But if want a relationship you got to get out there. Love is a many splender thing. Can't win the lottery without buying a ticket.
I better stop with the bad quotes. But you'll do fine. College eh. Good for you.
