....and I am emotionless. I don't mean to be. I have been single a very long time and with every year that's past I have just lost the passion, excitiment, the hope of finding 'the one' haha!
I am wondering how many dates should you go on before you feel something. I never ever ever feel anything. It's not that I'm fussy it's just being on my own so long. I get easily irritated and then I feel a annoyed with myself for judging too quickly......

Everyone is different but for me personally the spark is either there or it isn't. It doesn't grow or develop.

Not much advice I'm afraid but just go with your gut and see how you feel during and after the date

Good luck! Smile

Thankyou ☺ I have been told it can develop. It's just Internet dating we judge too quickly?

It's not the quantity, it's the quality...!

Keep an open mind though, as you say you've probably just lost your dating mojo. Good luck.

No spark on date 1, no sexual attraction? I'd make my excuses & that would be that.

I have lost my mojo! Hoping to find it again, thankyou 😊
I don't ever feel a spark though. Like ever!

I wouldn't dismiss after a first date, some things take time to grow.

The first date is an interview. If you come away feeling intrigued, it's on to date 2. Date 2 is the teller.
