Shall I go or not on 2nd date?

Just recently started dating again, been single for years! Had to sieve through some right dicks! Had a date the other weekend, seems decent enough and ok looking, the date was OK but didn't think "oh this is the one!". He seems more attentive through texts than in the flesh.

Thing is, the idea sounds good but when it comes to near the date, I just can't be arsed! I'd rather just sit on my own at home, pigging out and binge watching TV after a busy week.

I'm supposed to be booking the meal for Saturday night.

What shall I do?!!!

1 - don't message just block, you didn't arrange a date, it's fairly obvious you're not keen.

2 - Say you didn't feel the chemistry and wish him the best in his search, block

Daft question - will he still see the message if I block straight after, as long as it shows ticks?

Yes, he should do. If he doesn't - who cares? he's a stranger, you owe him nothing.

He put "Hi**I presume you had other plans for yesterday"

Not "I hope you are o.k?

Or even call to speak to you!

Its all about him - I presume Grin

He's fishing, just in case you were still up for sex.

I'm not against having ONS etc, but I personally can't shag someone unless there's a connection and there done like there was zero. Plus the 35 mile drive, I could be bothered unless they were great (and I love driving Grin)

Yeah I thought that, about it all being him. It's like it's my fault, even when he ghosted me too. Makes me think he'd be the type to blame someone for everything.

Yep, I'm the same. You need to build up chemistry before sex, he was obviously desperate. Why would I want to shag someone who's desperate, that's a turn off in itself.

He obviously doesn't realise that it takes time to build up to that with someone, or he's just trying his luck. Anyway he's blocked now after my message, I know he read it though. And he blocked me on the site!

He was so obviously just after a shag!

Next!
