    I'm afraid this might turn into a bit of a rant/moan.

    I never heard from the guy I went on a date with but what I don't understand is the fact that he kept mentioning about meeting up again and then he completely ignores me and I don't hear from him. This has happened a few times now (with other guys) and I really don't get it. On the date I never bought up meeting again (he was the one to do it).. so if he didn't want to meet, why bring it up? I honestly don't understand sometimes.
    I really want to text him even if it's just to say good luck with your search but I don't know if I should or not.. I do feel kinda down right now as it's not a great time at the moment and I feel like I'm just being messed around by every man I meet.
    /Rant over lol.

    Lara - why don't you just text him? Just something like - "how are you? do you fancy meeting up again sometime?" - keep it casual. At least if its a no you can move on and forget about him.

    You had to instigate the first date if I remember correctly, speaks volumes to me, I'm afraid.

    If hes interested he will be texting you trust me..delete his number and dont give him a second thought..Everyone is worth more than to be ignored..I personally hate it people should just have the balls to say "thanks for the date but im not going to be meeting you again as we didnt click" or whatever other excuse they choose to use

    He either hasnt got any balls to tell you or hes got another date arranged and wants to see how that goes ..then if that doesnt go well he will suddenly text you saying about another meeting..Thats just the way it goes on the dating sites

    Personally at the moment I think all men are vile and lack the ability to be open or straightforward so taking a break from it AGAIN

    Oh no :( how long has this been for? :(

    Maybe send him one last text and if he doesn't reply then delete his number and delete him out of your life and shout NEXT!!!! :)
    Just that day, he texted me the next day and apologised for not replying, and we talked online for hours again. My flatmate pointed out maybe he was just having on off day (which to be fair i did the other day last week-i just didnt want to talk to anyone) and he's been fine with me since.

    I'm keeping my options option :)

    I must be in the minority then as the guy I met last week has texted and phoned me - just a shame I'm pretty sure he isn't the man for me! We are going to meet up next week as in the past I have only given my dates one chance which maybe is a mistake, I think I expect too much. I want to feel massive sparks, butterflies etc like you do when you're younger but maybe that just doesn't happen in your forties!

    It's weird cos the last two guys i went with dates on, i liked them but i never really got butterflies, where as the guy i'm currently talking to i get butterflies everytime i speak to him. I just want to meet him asap as i know the image of him in my head may well be different to what he's really like in person (and what i've watched on youtube :rotfl:).

    Went on a 2nd date last night, never been able to get passed the 2nd date hurdle!
    Till now!!
    Date three arranged for Wed night. We seem to just click. He is lovely, I know its a bit soon to get too excited but he really is ticking all the right boxes. Never been treated like a lady before, he opened doors for me, pulled my chair out for me etc. Feel like he really listened to me on our first date as he knew not to put up a fight when I offered to buy a round! Made sure I got a taxi home and sent a txt to make sure Id arrived safely. Woke up to a lovely txt too, I managed to impress his friends when we were out apparently!
    Im not usually a touchy feely person but I just have this urge to when Im with him! (keep it clean) Noticed that I kept touching his leg, arm etc when we were talking. Surely thats a good sign??
    Roll on Wed, really looking forward to it.
    Hows everyone else getting on? Hope were all having fun.
