I recently went on a first date with a man I met on the internet. I quite liked him and quite fancied him, and was quietly looking forward to another date. I didn't hear from him for a few days and then received an e-mail saying that while he thought I was "attractive, intelligent, tall, slim, long blonde hair, ticking all the boxes as such" he didn't really get the impression that "either of us really felt that spark, which is strange."
What I would like to know is, is that just a polite way of saying that you didn't fancy someone? What is this elusive spark of which he speaks? There weren't any massive fireworks for me either, but I wouldn't have let that put me off going on a second date. What gives?
