Is there any point in a 2nd date if you didn't feel anything after the first?

I'm new to the dating scene after a very long marriage. Not sure if I'm even ready to date, but I thought I'd join a site and see what happened.

I got talking to someone and we got on well. Had similar interests, so I thought, and connected well. Had our first date this afternoon.

I didn't really feel anything leading up to it. Not excited or nervous. Just kind of meh. We met, and got on well. Conversation flowed but still I didn't feel anything other than he's nice to talk to. There were also a few points about his personality that I thought were incompatible with mine I.e. he prefers staying in, I like going out. He wants to start a business which would effectively run itself so he doesnt have to work. I'm a workaholic in a job I love.

He also pushed a kiss on me outside the café which I wasn't really into, and it made me feel a bit uncomfortable.

He's keen though and wants to take me on a 2nd date. I think I've answered my own question here already but, would I be wasting his time and mine? Is there hope of anything emerging if I didn't feel it on the first date?

I've slept on it and no, there's not going to be a date 2. I don't fancy him, and pushing the kiss on me makes me feel icky.

I’m not someone who gets an immediate spark but there has to recovering that makes me want to see them again.

Tbh in this case the cringey line and the kiss would be a big no for me. A kiss should be mutual not forced
