Ahh, that works! :)

 

 

 

Oh no! :( Misleading profile? or just one of those things?

 

Well, he didn't actually lie about anything on the profile. It's just that his profile and answers to match questions conveyed so much intelligence and depth that wasn't there in person. In person, he sounded dumb and uncultured. It's like he had a friend write his profile or something (that's just a guess though and if so, I would like to meet the friend :) ).

 

He also started touching my leg in less than 10 minutes after we met. He was very sexually aggressive :/

Doesn't sound like a good date either way. :(

Oops. That does sound a little too soon!

Definitely avoid the drastic stuff. :laugh: Really, ES, water retention usually contributes to max 3 lbs of water weight for most women. I really don't think most adult men notice or care about 3 lbs, and why would you want a boy? Even to casually date? ;)

 

That being said, it shouldn't hurt to do the normal stuff that PMSing women are advised to do to reduce the symptoms. Avoid caffeine and excess sugar/carbs, exercise, get plenty of sleep, etc.

He wasn't that nervous. He asked me if could come home with me. Then at the end, he walked me to the train station and gave me a hug and started kissing my neck. WTF dude. Something was really off about him.

I mostly carry water in my face. I look really puffy, even makeup can't fix it.

 

It turns out it was irrelevant what I looked like :rolleyes:

Oh, oops, I missed that. Yeah, he definitely doesn't sound compatible, especially if you're looking to take things slow.

OP, sorry that the date didn't go as hoped. Sometimes such things happen. With that said, respecting your style of desiring strong interest from men, how would you delineate the actions perceived from your ideal in this type of a situation. Use, for example 'taking it slow' with 'strong interest'. How does that go?

 

IMO, from the other side of the 'street' in dating, I would vastly prefer a lady reschedule a date than feel less than 100% herself. Dating is supposed to be positive and fun. If one is feeling 'puffy' and/or unattractive and/or ambivalent, those feelings imbue both the proceedings as well as the perceptions, on both sides.

 

I hope the next date is more positive and fun....

Yeah he's a wolf. And a vampire. That's why he went for the neck :p

 

Curious: did he ONLY go for the neck and not for your mouth at all? Weirdo.

I am still happier single. That doesn't mean I can't casually date.

 

Anyway, the date sucked. The guy sounded and looked too good to be true - he WAS. The biggest profile/personality mismatch I ever experienced on OLD.

 

Did he look the same at least?

Eww. :sick:

 

Sorry to hear this. I know you had high hopes for this one. :(

It seems she felt unattractive and when he was showing signs of attraction she became turned off.

 

She stated what turned her off, and it wasn't this.

I want strong interest in getting to know me, not strong interest in sleeping with me on date 1. We didn't connect AT ALL conversation wise, there were many silences where I did most of the talking and then gave up. He also didn't even offer to pay for my drink.

Do you tend to dominate conversations?

 

Not at all. I am not a big talker. This guy wasn't saying much so I had to talk or it would be even more awkward.

 

You are on the wrong track.

 

There is nothing to even analyze here, he wanted a quick root, I didn't.

If you weren't interested in him, and demonstrated as much, how did he get from sexually touching your leg, to walking you to your train, and kissing your neck?

 

When I'm totally not interested in someone (as you claim to be here upon meeting him), it shows in my body language. They know I want nothing to do with them. In this case, not only would he not be touching my leg in a sexual manner, but he wouldn't be walking me to my train, he wouldn't be hugging me, and he certainly wouldn't come anywhere close enough to be kissing my neck.

 

I am starting to understand why these guys go ape sh*t when you reject them after the fact.

I get bloated as well. Water pills / diaretics will work to get you back down to normal. And drink a lot - caffinated beverages will get rid of the bloat, but don't drink water! Water will make you even puffier!

Not everyone has the kind of skill to leave men with bloody stumps for limbs.

 

Did you register here just to insult her?

I have only replied to one of star gazer's posts and it was only as insulting as hers, probably a little less.

 

It was more of a colorful way to post how not all have extremely forceful personalities causing others to be taken aback and realize it would be better to move along. This man could have knowingly been taking advantage of sunshine's more demure nature.

 

Are you her boyfriend or girlfriend? I ask since you are acting very invested in protecting star gazer not taking into account how inconsiderate she was to Eternal Sunshine.

 

Aw thank you.

 

I appreciate your post, although am a bit surprised that you would help a woman out :)

No, I felt protective of ES. You're new, and you're talking about her having a nasty effect on men - I didn't see anything about her having a more demure nature.

 

There is history here between posters, and there are some that I assume have each other on ignore, if they're so bothered by each other. YOU were inconsiderate.

Well Anela, I am glad he explained himself. I wasn't sure if he was inferring that my actions leave men with bloody stumps or SG's.
