After being single for a long time I have been on dating apps such as Hinge and started speaking to a guy on there. We met up for an afternoon (non alcoholic) drink after a week or so of chatting online. It was nice, he was better looking than pictures, no real awkwardness. Went on a second date a few days later where we went for dinner. Still, nice, conversation kept going. But no spark. And I don’t know if I really like his sense of humour/it doesn’t match up to mine at all.. it didn’t feel like we had fun and I can’t imagine having fun and laughing my head off with him which is what I’d really like in a relationship! I’ve been going from yes I’ll give it a try go on a few more dates because he’s a decent guy and seems to like me, to no, I don’t want this, it doesn’t feel exciting and feels more like an effort than it should.
I don’t want to pie him off if there is a chance of something developing but.. I don’t think there is. Am I wrong? This is the first sober date I’ve been on that’s led to a second. Usually I have a drink beforehand and go on dates where we are drinking but no alcohol has been involved this time! I’m not even much of a drinker I’d only really drink when on dates (which has never been regular)
Any advice would be much appreciated!
