I was really nervous as I’ve not had much luck at all with dating lately and I’ve gone through a phase of being really hung up on an ex girlfriend even though we’ve been broken up for years. i felt that from the start of the date her vibe was a bit ‘frosty’ but I couldn’t tell if that was just me being paranoid. I didn’t like that fact that she didn’t say please or thank you to the waiters. It sounds silly but manners are really important to me. Of course I was more than happy to pay the bill but I didn’t like the fact that she didn’t even offer to contribute especially when she had three glasses of white wine. she’s very attractive but my days of being shallow have bit me in ass big time and I found myself actually assessing her personality more than her looks and I wasnt overly impressed. I found myself feeling a bit bored and glancing at the clock. She didn’t seem overly interested in what I had to say - she just talked about work and it all felt a bit dry. I felt that she was expecting to be impressed and for me to do all of the work but in all honesty I just couldn’t be bothered. My ex was a very warm , bubbly character and there was never any awkwardness even right from the start. I know that I shouldn’t compare and I this date was meant to be a step forward but in all honesty it feels like a massive set back. I don’t know if maybe I didn’t give her a chance. Maybe my walls were up or maybe I’m just intentionally picking faults. If you're not feeling it, move on. Always listen to your instincts.
