Question Blind Date Blues

Been doing the internet dating thing lately. The last couple dates I went on kind of left me a bit confused. I guess to make a long story short how does one really know a first date went well and there was an attraction? I mean I thought I knew but the last two didn't follow the norm. I thought if on the date there is much good conversation and both of you are laughing at each other jokes and seem to be having a good time that is a good sign in the right direction. So why is it when you tell the girl "hey listen if you like to get together give me a call" . Yet you don't hear from them. Is it really always a guys job to call them up again? I always went by the rule that if you call a girl the first time then if she likes you she will call you the next time if you ask her to call. Yet that rule isn't working in these case. So I'm wondering maybe these girls weren't interested in me or what. Also one more question what is a proper way to greet a person when you get together for the first time , a hug, a handshake, ect? This whole internet dating thing is kind of new to me so I'm still tring to figure out how much of the old dating ways still apply and where its different.

This is hilarious. I'm going to meet a girl of whom I've been talking to over the Internet for quite some time now at 6:00. We're going out to dinner and then we're going to take it from there. So who knows what the night has in store.

I've done this countless times. It's fun & interesting. I have met about 9 people that I've come across on the Internet. 3 of them went on to be relationships of which lasted over 7-8 months & some just didn't work out at all, although we became friends.

The main reason only 3 of them worked was because all of the rest lived so far away. Most lived about 2-3 hours away, so it was hard to develop a foundation for a relationship. The others were in my area, about a half hour to 1 1/2 hour drive.

As far as your problem in aspects to knowing if a girl likes you, we're in the same boat. I'm clueless when it comes to that kind of stuff. I have had girls not give even the slightest clue of liking me, but they really did, and girl's lay it on so thick that they were all over me. Keep your eyes out for physical flirting i.e she puts her hands on you a lot, stands close to you etc. etc. Also, the way she smiles at you. She may smile at your jokes and humor, but, does she smile at 'you'? - for no apparent reason.

When it comes to the introduction, your going to have to play it out when you finally meet that person. I have been in awkward moments, I have been in very strong physical attraction moments. One girl of which I met just started kissing me the second we said hello. Then again, we had talked online & on the phone for just about a year, so we had a strong sense of what one another was like.

Just be yourself & don't lie over the Internet. Unless your one good BS'er and can back up anything she throws at you of which was a lie over the computer, your screwed. A good quality to have is being able to break the ice in a good, humorous way. Better yet, start off with a compliment. Be CONFIDENT!

I usually hold out my hand as were walking up to eachother as if I wanted the shake her hand. Then I pull her in, kiss her on the cheek and tell her how good she looks. Maybe make a funny comment i.e. "Damn, you didn't look THIS good in the chatroom"

I'm not being cocky at all, but it's not hard for me to grab the attention of most people, just with my looks. So I'm confident in that department. I usually get something along the lines of "Wow, I'm impressed". So if your like me, your going to have to let your true character shine and take your focus off of trying to be some sexy guy (Not saying you have to try & be better then you are if you don't have the looks.) Don't try & impress her, just be yourself. if that alone impresses her, your doing a great job!

Most girls I think will wait for the guy to call again almost every time.So, they might be at home sitting with a broken heart if there was chemistry between you and you haven't called.CALL !!!!!

Griffy,
How did your date go the other night? Oh an update, one of the girls I recently went out with did call me back today. So its a good thing I guess. Now I just have to figure out if I want to pursue the relationship or not. I mean it wasn't a "wow" attraction but who knows I always give people a chance to shine through. Ahh the complications of life, what can you do. Happy New year!!!
