I recently went on a date with a lady I have known for some time. We developed a good friendship and we were in constant contact and as we got to know each other better and better we went out on a couple of dates. Everything was going fine and I thought she is very attractive, witty and intelligent and she invited me to stay over at her house after she cooked dinner for us both. This is when I baulked and made a bee-line for the nearest train station. I have done this a couple of times in the past, when a date or friendship has blossomed into something more and then I've not wanted to cross the finish line.
I feel like a complete div and rightly so and the lady from the date isn't speaking to me now. I genuinely don't know what causes me in some instances to do this and I regretted it the very moment I stepped out of her front door. I didn't think that night was the right time but I can't for the life of me figure out why that was my train of thought. Making me think is it the thrill of the chase that is more enjoyable than the catch? Which surely is bizarre.
Has anyone experienced this before when dating or am I the only div on the planet?
