So many options, so little time.<br />I have to admit that when I was dating I was very bad at making the "not interested" phone call after a date. It was usually that I wasn't feeling physical attraction - not that the person was unattractive or did anything wrong, I just didn't feel&nbsp;"it". &nbsp;Which I found hard to explaing. But I was a wimp, i know this. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manrepeller-explains-my-dating-life#post-928059 Thu, 09 May 2013 01:01:29 +0000 Isabel 928059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nicole has a very interesting point, indeed.<br /><br />We live in a world of Princesses and soul mates. I cringe every time I hear a woman ( or man or canine ) refer to a soul mate. How they will just know at first sight. &nbsp;That seems odd to me as well as unrealistic. For one, how do we know that our "soulmate" will be in our town, state, or even the same continent ? But somehow we have been trained to believe that is true. I agree with you, Anna, it does take more than one date. In fact, I have been married for 17 years and we are still working on and building a relationship. But many people just want that work anymore. I was also reading recently how we have become a "hook up " culture. &nbsp;It's not even "dating" anymore. &nbsp;I am sorry. &nbsp;: ( https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manrepeller-explains-my-dating-life#post-927528 Wed, 08 May 2013 14:28:34 +0000 Irene 927528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm a woman but I admit to having been to that Planet. It's really warm and cozy there! <br /><br />I didn't disappear though. I just told them I would be leaving, and was respectful and considerate with them. I think that sometimes the other person runs much faster than you. But you think you can get there, after a while, so you hang in there and keep walking, yet the other person is so ahead of you! And then one day you realize maybe you just don't want to hit the finish line with them, after all. So, yeah, you basically quit the marathon. Some people are just not meant to run together!<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manrepeller-explains-my-dating-life#post-927405 Wed, 08 May 2013 06:59:01 +0000 lyn* 927405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I haven't really genuinely been interested in a guy for a long time - they come around once every year or so, but like you, Anna, I've noticed that they must move off planet or something :p<br /><br />I've never done this to a guy, even if i wasn't interested. I have kept a lot of them around as friends, though, because even though we may not be romantic partners, we are good friends! Tons of guy friends. LOL. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manrepeller-explains-my-dating-life#post-927343 Wed, 08 May 2013 03:53:06 +0000 rachylou 927343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the place to meet people online are boards like Beliefnet (or YLF, except not so much here for a date ;&gt;) where discussions happen and it's a shared experience. I actually went to Florida to attend the wedding of online friends met on Beliefnet. The bride and groom met there and got engaged before meeting in person. And when I finally met them in person myself it was seamless, no difference between personas. Because you really get into it. And also, quite honestly, values are on the table. Another Beliefnet friend who went to the same wedding she also met someone there and got married too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manrepeller-explains-my-dating-life#post-927307 Wed, 08 May 2013 02:35:38 +0000 ironkurtin 927307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If it helps, looking for a job can feel exactly the same way.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manrepeller-explains-my-dating-life#post-927218 Wed, 08 May 2013 00:56:44 +0000 annagybe 927218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nicole, you might be onto something. Personally I think it takes more than one date to get to know someone. But I guess most of the guys I've met so far don't seem to think that.<br /><br />ETA and stuff like this doesn't help<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://powderroom.jezebel.com/now-hiring-professional-catfish-494089083">http://powderroom.jezebel.com/.....-494089083</a><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manrepeller-explains-my-dating-life#post-927211 Wed, 08 May 2013 00:41:52 +0000 Nicole D 927211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Do you think internet dating has just made people feel like they should always be looking...not trying to build a real relationship? &nbsp;Like that sense that there is a smorgasbord of singles out there, an online catalogue of dates, so that one should always be shopping for that PERFECT person, instead of doing the hard work of actually getting to know someone through repeated in person contact? &nbsp;Just a theory. &nbsp;I think I read it in a magazine. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manrepeller-explains-my-dating-life#post-927170 Tue, 07 May 2013 23:56:55 +0000 rachylou 927170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ok. If you say so, I will believe you. You must get better dates, Anna.

I recall a couple of guys&nbsp;in particular who really mystified me -- we got along great, had fun, promised to call, etc., and then... nothing.<br /><br />I always just assumed they met someone else and fell madly in love, or something. Yeah, I was bummed, but I moved on. The breakups after months or years of dating were much harder. I'd rather get let down early than have something drag on that isn't going to work.&nbsp; <br /><br />Oh, I ETA that I was guilty of this too. I "disappeared" on a couple of guys after a date or two, usually because someone more interesting came along or something bothered me about them. I was not comfortable with confrontation so I never told them, I just didn't return their calls. So I don't think it's fair to say it's just a Guy Thing. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manrepeller-explains-my-dating-life#post-926963 Tue, 07 May 2013 19:06:30 +0000 annagybe 926963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, Isabel but I had one guy disappear after three dates. First date was coffee, second date dinner and third date was snowshoeing with his friends. Then *Poof*.<br />More recently I had one guy walk me all the way to my car and give me a hug. It was daylight in a safe neighborhood, so no safety issues. Never heard from him again. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manrepeller-explains-my-dating-life#post-926961 Tue, 07 May 2013 19:04:06 +0000 Isabel 926961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This article was funny, but I really hope that it is not too accurate. The women that I knew when younger ( and two single women in their 40s that I am friends with now ) are not the type of women to be thinking of monogrammed towels and have stars in their eyes on their first, second, or third dates. Those expectations would frighten anyone. It would frighten a woman dating a man who felt that way. The two women that I have known like that were definitely trying to live the Disney Princess myth. &nbsp;Which doesn't exist.&nbsp;<br /><br />I do think that it is just human nature to avoid things that are difficult for us. Like calling someone or returning a call . Avoidance is so much easier...if not impolite.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is especially easy when we may never have to see that person again.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manrepeller-explains-my-dating-life#post-926937 Tue, 07 May 2013 18:35:43 +0000 Mo 926937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree that while it's supposed to be tongue in cheek, it doesn't appeal to me. &nbsp;It's good to all laugh at ourselves (and our situations) when we can though. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/manrepeller-explains-my-dating-life#post-926707 Tue, 07 May 2013 07:39:40 +0000 Lyn D. 926707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The 'right one' can see who you are beneath the best behaviour on first dates.
