Went on the best date I've had in months last night. We spent 3 hours together, shut the restaurant down, way past her supposed "bedtime." We had so much in common. Lots of laughing, eye contact. I walked her to her car and we kissed for a good amount. Not a long makeout but a minute or two, and then again when she actually got into the car. She text me when she got home.
The next morning: "Hey been thinking about it, and I don't feel the connection I'm looking for…"
And this is on me, but I spent $170 on dinner for a couple pizzas, an app, and we got two desserts. I don't usually do that, but we were having a good time, and I just decided to go with it.
I just can't catch a break. There's something about me that just can't connect. I don't know what it is. I have no problem getting dates. I had 4 first dates this past week, but they so rarely make it to the second, even when they go really well. I've had several of the women including last night tell me I'm handsome. I don't know if my kiss is terrible or something, but none of them like end things instantly after the kiss, they seem to kiss for a bit. I have no problem holding a conversation. I'm just baffled and so over it.
