Dieu hopefully in person will be better than on the phone, you just never know until you meet do you! Often for me it's the way a person walks or moves that is an attraction. As well as voice and general looks, and of course, personality!
Education good call I think.
Bant you're bang on with your three scenarios, definitely #3 in this case! Such a shame though, I think he's a sweet and genuine guy, no malice there, but rubs me up the wrong way already. I still feel terrible. I haven't sent the message yet, but planning to go with what dieu suggested.
I've only ever cancelled one date, and that was because Mr Puppy, who had previously blocked me, came back on the scene unexpectedly and I wanted to try that again. It was a no go, and I've blocked him now, but still don't feel I want to revisit the cancelled one. Maybe I should...
I joined tinder today. I'm rural and in my 40s so never thought it would be any good for me, but have several matches and messages already, so we'll see. It took me a while to work out you can see more if you tap instead of swipe, so I swiped a few at first who, on seeing their profile fully, I realise I do t actually like! You live and learn...
I'm trying hard to only swipe people I actually want to engage with, and not any who are just passable. I don't have the energy to try so hard!
