Going to warn you lads that this will be a whinepost, lol ;P
I hate it when I get cynical about dating, but it's definitely happening at the moment. Wondering if I should take a break, do you guys normally have a few weeks out from dating when it starts feeling tedious?
Third chick in a row from an online site to ghost on me this past date, which is a pretty terrible record. It's weirding me out now because it's just totally conflicting behaviour from what I'm observing on the actual night.
A whole date of eye contact, laughing, even hand holding. Loads of stuff in common, lots of chemistry. This last chick kept suggesting second dates, gave me a cheek kiss at the end and told me she can't wait to see me again.
Did I ever get a text back? Hell no. I'm probably not playing the game correctly or something but this bulls***ing on dates has got me to the point I'm starting to distrust almost every signal I get from women. I don't trust my intuition anymore at all, which obviously isn't good for my development.
My pics online are very accurate to what I actually look like, I look good and smell good and apparently the conversation and light kino on the first dates themselves seem to be going well. But they can't be when this keeps happening. If I told a girl she was awesome, kissed her and told her I want a second date, I'd expect her to think I was insane if I just ghosted her completely the next day onwards. Reverse roles and it's standard behaviour!
EDIT - Derby, just read your post again. I guess the cheek kiss really is the Kiss of Death, lol

Very common with online dating. I have learned to try and bed them on the first date because there is a high probability you wont be seeing these chicks again. Don't respect any of these sloots, play them all. I am seeing this chick right now, didnt let me kiss close on the first date but has high interest, always responds to my text messages immediately, and accepts my dates. The old me would think, oh perfect, she might be LTR material, not anymore, to me she is a sloot who is probably looking for a free lunch. Expect nothing from women and you will never lose and yes, its a sad state of affairs
