Not to give a date a second go, over corny jokes??

[Startingfreshi123]

I went on a date last with a guy i met online last night. We have a great connection on the phone but in person, not so sure. He kept coming out with cheesy, dumb jokes. Initially, i giggled but i got bored of fake laughing and just politely smiled. Also he spoke quite fast and about himself quite a bit. He later apologised and explained he was nervous because he'd not dated in years. I believe him because the jokes were immature and nothing like the ones we have shared on the phone.
Shall I go on another date and give him a chance to relax and come into himself? Or do i just accept we don't connect and move on?

'He actually kept saying, 'I'm crazy, you know!'

Quit making excuses for this guy and just block him/ghost him/whatever.

I think video might be good research!..
"once you've thought something...

He's not the right guy. Only go on a second date if you're desperate for it.

I feel exhausted just reading about him - he sounds drainingly tiresome.

Do you think there is no man out there more suited to you?

If the answer is yes - then stick with him and prepare to wear a fixed false smile for the foreseeable future, if it is no then let him go and be his unchangeable crazy self elsewhere with someone who likes listening to drivel.

He's totally right though when he said he is who he is! Why should he change for a woman he's met once- if he enjoys cheesy jokes, then that's up to him - plenty of women might enjoy them too. However, of course that doesn't mean you should see him again if he's not for you. He might be posting on a forum somewhere that he went on a date with a woman who had no sense of humour and was uptight. You just aren't compatible - move on.

Your update sounds less promising... First he was saying that the jokes were just because he was nervous, but he also says he won't change who he is... well are the jokes who he is or not?

Well, I only bought up the fact he was speaking fast. Not the cheesy jokes. So the cheesy jokes might just be who he is. But like I said, we had great phone and messaging chemistry. No shitty jokes then.

You don't owe him a second chance either you connected or you didn't. If you think you would miss out by not seeing him then have a another date but don't do it for his sake.

I honestly think if you have doubts after a first date then you're not really a match. Me and my husband had a bit of a weird first date (he knew beforehand I was unwell and I ended up throwing up during the date). We were also both nervous and things generally didon't go as we hoped, but we had great chemistry and knew straight away we would like a second date.

I'm mad me types are always annoying.

You are trying to convince yourself. Get rid. He sounds like a pain. If I was nervous, telling jokes - even good ones - would be the last thing I would do.

A lot of shyer blokes I've met seem to think they have to be the "entertainer" all the time. I don't know if they hear that thing about laughing women into bed and take it beyond its logical conclusion, maybe.

Although conversely they then don't seem to like it when women are funnier than them. Maybe they feel threatened.
