met a great guy but I don't fancy him

I've been divorced a couple of years, done a bit of dating off and on - met one guy I really fell for and he ended it, another guy I saw for a while who I liked but found him too needy & insecure so I ended it. Gave the whole dating thing a miss for a while after that but finally decided to go back online.

So last week I met a really nice guy. I've only seen him twice so far and for all intents and purposes he is exactly what I'm looking for. He's smart, reasonably attractive, good job. Went to his place tonight and had a really nice time. Intellectually we are on exactly the same wavelenght - it was probably the most engaging conversation I've had with another human being in a long time!

But when we finally kissed, well, I just felt nothing. There's nothing particularly about him physically that I don't like - I just did not enjoy kissing him. It felt nice to have a mans arms around me but I really could not imagine doing anything more with him. I know he likes me and I feel like such an idiot for not liking him more. Men like him seem to be few and far between in these parts - at least the single ones! What do I do? Do i give it some more time and see or do I have to just trust my gut and know it cna't go any further? Confused

future strong attraction, that is.

Ok but even if you're right - I can't very well keep dating a guy who really fancies me on the off chance I might want to kiss him somewhere down the line.

I think mostly it's either there or it isn't.

If you've had a couple of dates but not kissed, could be worth a try as I reckon there's rare instances where the 'spark' kicks in at that point

but if you have kissed and a bit 'meh' then no.

well as I say. it's the issue with online dating - things develop much quicker than in rl usually. It sounds like he's not you type as a man - as holdyourown says, sometimes the spark appears during the first kiss, even if the kiss is not great there is usually a desire afterwards iykwim, to try again or to get closer. If it's not there, and he won't wait, then meet others, my opinion.
Btw if he is REALLY very keen, he will want to wait and give you time.

Hello… Did you go for it or not? Wondering how it works out as I'm in a similar position 🙂
