Nerve Dating Confessions

February 10, 9:07AM Question for men. Let's say we have talked a few times, went on a date, and from all appearances you also enjoyed it. What are the main reasons that you don't call again when it seems that everything went well? CAN RELATE (2) CAN'T RELATE (0) FLAG FOR ABUSE

This is one of the top confessions here and the answer is always: he has chosen a better option. He has been talking, dating and enjoying a number of women like you and decided to go for the best one which is not you. There are few men who are attractive enough to get women like you to date him, try to make him enjoy himself, and then to worry about him calling again, and those few men are flooded with opportunities. If you find him attractive enough that you pine for him and try to please him, odds are another dozen girls in his list do that too. Your best chance with one of them is to make it clear you are willing to be his friend-with-benefits and hope that he is not a boring one who wants to be monogamous.

... he just isn't that into you. Personally, I choose to avoid anything less than stellar dates because, frankly, I don't want to 'break up' with someone after two or three weeks. I don't want to get myself in a relationship that isn't ideal, that I'd rather get out of, that I find difficult to leave.

Sometimes you have fun, but you don't think they're quite right for you. Or you're not over someone else. Could be a million reasons, so no point agonizing over it, just move on.

Chances are when you go on a date with someone, you are polite enough to seem like you enjoy it even if you are not totally "clicking", or not totally into the guy. If he were rude about not being into you, then you would be writing here about being offended. The simplest way to look at this: If he doesn't call, it's because he didn't want to.
