Chanel 4 First dates

carefullycautious

Have been watching this programme and the guy who runs the restaurant says that there is always someone for someone.


From what I have seen if there is no physical attraction you have not got a chance.


what happened to giving someone a chance to 'grow on you' maybe no first instant attraction but at least give it a bit longer than a first date.


Are there still people out there who would chance more dates to see how things progress.


Could not believe the guy who when he saw that his date was taller than him due to her heels stated from the outset that he was not interested. How shallow as he was no oil painting himself

Height is a deal breaker for some people. I don't think it's shallow, just honest. My deal breaker is poor teeth, just doesn't do it for me.

I do think there has to be some physical attraction there. That doesn't mean you have to think they're gorgeous or perfect, but there has to be some affinity at the first meeting. I wouldn't see someone I wasn't attracted to a second time, that would be wasting their time.

I've heard of people falling for each other when there was originally no immediate physical attraction but this is usually born from a friendship that grows naturally. It isn't likely that someone who is looking for someone to date is going to try and give someone their not physically attracted to the chance to grow on them in that way.

And some guys don't like tall women, just as some women I've known don't like short guys. It is somewhat shallow but a lot of things could be seen as shallow. Most people have preferences, although it does happen that someone the complete opposite to those preferences becomes the ideal match.

Height issues are no more shallow than a woman instantly disliking a man because he has a beard.

Shoes in this case could be removed - he asked if she had a low pair with her :rotfl:


Some of the people had had no dates at all how sad is that. There should be dating courses on the education curriculum.


Where has the term 'Courting' gone to.

Dating courses or courting courses?

I've continued to go on dates with people that I got on well with, even if I wasn't immediately completely attracted to them, because I thought who knows what might happen.

I wasn't attracted to my partner when I first met him. That came later once we'd got to know each other. Admittedly he had a skinhead when I first met him so it was easier to find him appealing once his hair had grown back!

Whoops I have just looked up the word dating and it means casual meetings without progressing onto a relationship.


I'm totally confused now. Do people want a relationship or don't they? and should they be on courting websites instead


After 40 years of marriage I have just realised I have not got a clue how this modern world works.
