quidproquo89 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Hey, I had a bit of a year of it last year, spending a lot of time internet dating and dating girls in my area. There must be something in the water, because the experiences I've had this last year have been quite frustrating. Flakes, insecure girls, rebounds, girls fearing commitment, a girl bored of her ex and just wanting attention, and just plain no chemistry. Its all made me rather sceptical and rather nonchalant of the whole process. I'm supposed to be meeting a perfectly nice girl tomorrow. But she lives 2 hours away and frankly I'm not sure if I want to go through all this again at the moment. I'm just not feeling it, perhaps I'm just being chicken, but I not sure what to do. I would feel guilty to her and letting myself down and at the same time I'd like a break from it. A little unsure at the moment
Fhsjkfjrhsdh3646 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Well if you decide not to go through with it, be sure to inform this girl ahead of time. 2

mightycpa Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Unless you've got a fun car to drive, the two hour commute does sound a little tedious. Oh, and the drive home... yeah, I hear ya.
Author quidproquo89 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 I had a fun car but swapped it for a works vehicle ha ha.
fitnessfan365 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Two hours is way too far IMO. When meeting a girl online, I keep my dating radius to 20-30 min drive tops. But I feel your frustration OP. I get chatters. The ones who don't view your profile but write just to talk. Or they respond with one sentence answering your question and nothing else. Also, a lot of flaky women. A few recently include : 1) I called her, and enjoyed speaking to her. So asked when she was free. She said Wed or Thurs. Neither worked for me, so I suggested Fri. She said she would let me know. Texts me Wed night, saying Fri works. So I respond the next day and lock it down. On Fri, she texts saying she is "sick". Haven't heard from her in three weeks so it was obviously BS. But she originally gave two days she was free,and reached out to me to initiate plans. 2) A woman writes me on Match. Attractive/good profile. So I send a short response back and leave my number. She texts, I say that I'll call her later in the day and she says "Really looking forward to it." End up leaving a voice mail and no call back. Next day she texts "Sorry I missed your call." So I ask when she's free and she says "I might be free this weekend". So I tell her to get back to me with availability for the following week and we'll make definite plans then. Never heard from her again.
Author quidproquo89 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 I don't like doing it, but I said I had to work - can we reschedule. That way I can clear my mind a little
todreaminblue Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 i have had guys travel to meet me......i always told them thats a fair distance and i would have met them half way.....i dont drive though..... i think it is fair to meet halfway......but i honestly dont think your heart is in it...just be truthful if you dont feel ready to date and give plenty of time before the date to do this........deb
katiegrl Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 I don't like doing it, but I said I had to work - can we reschedule. That way I can clear my mind a little ^^fitnessfan take note.. chicks need to clear their minds too. lol OLD can do that to a person!
deathandtaxes Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 You're sounding a little burned out, OP. I think we all experience that when trying to date. I know I do. At that point, I just stay away from the dating sites and just not worry about it for a week or two at a time. For this one, contemplating a two-hour drive to meet a stranger, you're really showing signs of burnout. Personally, a two hour drive is insane! I find it tedious if I have to drive more than 20 minutes.
