Maybe someone can link her to that thread "How do you tell someone you don't want a second date?"

So was he drinking at this birthday party before he talked to you? And were there a few cocktails during dinner??

 

No, he wasn't drinking at the birthday party when we met. But yes there were drinks at the bar.

Umm, I don't need that thread. I realize he's not interested, that was the point of the OP. It's frustrating to get mixed signals until you get the right signal.

Is it possible he's uncomfortable in bars/crowds/public places? I don't get the lead-in interest followed by the at-the-moment shutdown (at the bar). Almost sounds like he was overwhelmed.

 

Some ppl do have social anxiety issues.

 

Nah, he's a pretty social, funny guy, and he goes out a lot. He's not anxious; he's just not interested.

You will see it coming but he doesn't know it. It's still his game. Lets see.

 

He actually just responded to the text from this morning: "Nah, changed my mind."

 

No kidding?! Haha!

So what was the "right" signal? That he has not responded to your text this morn?

 

I agree it does not look good, but if I really liked him and he called me tomorrow, Tuesday or even Wednesday for a date Saturday night, I would go.

 

Just me....:)

Well, since you know he's not interested, I guess you'll leave it at that.:rolleyes:

Yes, that he didn't respond, after usually being the first to initiate and to respond within 20 mins max to texts previously.

Yes, I don't see the point in responding. I'll see him around, I'm sure.

I am fairly certain the *rules* change a bit after the first date and you click.

 

So best not to judge things by how he was *before* date.

 

Now, after the date, is when you start paying attention.

 

Jmo.

 

Did he ask you out again!?

Posted

If he ever comes sniffing around again Rose (seen that happen before), make him kiss your butt. ;)

Ask him why he seemed into you at the party and not into you during the date. See if he'll produce some cajones.:laugh:

Nope! And I don't expect him to.

Why would I do that? People change their mind. They see you in a different light. Maybe he didn't like my dress or my makeup or my choice of cocktail. Maybe he's not over an ex-girlfriend. Maybe he had a brunch date today. Doesn't really matter to me what his reason is, it's no skin off my back.

I am so confused. It sounded like they clicked during the date! Made out afterwards and everything!

 

I think he was nervous at the bar, that's all. Perhaps he needed a drink or two to loosen himself up?

 

He may really like you and is a bit confused as to how to play this. Doesn't want to come on too strong or needy, for fear of turning you off.

 

What did he say in his text....or was that just a joke?

Posted

C'mon, we've all been there. It sucks. We want people to like us back. You don't have to but I think it would be interesting to see how he responds.

His last text sounded very rude.

 

"nah, changed my mind." - Gosh!! Bullet dodged, Rose.

 

You deserve much better than this twit.

So then why did he kiss you at the end of the date? Twice?

 

Why are you being so negative? He did respond to your text this morning, right? Or were you just joking about that?

OMG is that what he said?

 

I thought that was Rose who changed her mind...about writing him off.

 

Man, guess I mis-read that one, didn't I....

 

Yeah, next!! Definitely....

 

Ugh.

He responded 10 hours later about an event that was to happen 8 hours ago, with, "Nah, changed my mind."

 

I'm not being negative. I sincerely think he's no longer interested. I'm being objective.

That was about going to a concert, not about her.

I think you're trying to set me up to receive hurtful information. And I don't like it.

It was a festival, and it was about going together. So yes, it was about me.

Yeah I agree. A man who is interested surely would have responded with more than "nah changed my mind.". How rude!

 

Sycamore, really?
