I finally worked up the courage to join a dating site. I filled out a few questions, talked to a few guys. One guy I really liked talking to. We were both into video games and talked a lot for about one week. We were both afraid of rushing into things and shared the same fears and doubts of meeting each other. He was a very genuine guy, wasn't judgmental, wasn't looking for just sex, he really wanted to get to know me. Or so I thought.
We finally meet a week later and of course it was a little awkward. Silent moments here and there, but we grabbed a bite to eat and he paid. He was very sweet and we laughed and shared a few stories together. It was getting really quiet sitting at the table so he suggested we go for a drive. I felt a lot more comfortable talking to him while he was driving. I guess cause we didn't have to be face to face, less pressure. There were still odd silent moments but I felt like we both knew it was just how first dates work. He kept saying "I think were doing pretty well for a first date" and he kept asking me if I was having a good time and I reassured him I was. I really liked just spending time with him and slowly getting to know him. After about an hour of driving he said "We've been driving for awhile, I think that's enough time to spend for a first date right?" and I said yeah even though I didn't really want it to end. He drove me home and we sat in the driveway, I stayed in the car a few moments waiting to see if he'd say something but it was just kind of awkward nodding and saying goodbye. I said well I'll see you later, and he said k.
That was the last I heard of him. No text later on in the night to tell me if he had a good time, or if he wanted to try date #2 yet. I decided to text him and told him I still had fun depsite the awkwardness and that I'd like to get to know him a bit more if he was still interested. He never answered me. I really thought we had a connection when we were talking online, and the awkwardness in person would surely go away if we continued hanging out. Did I do anything wrong to push him away? He didn't seem like he was having a bad time, and he kept saying he was trying to think of things to ask me. If he was so interested, why hasn't he said anything back? I feel so useless. What could I have done wrong in person that would turn him away, when online we couldn't get enough of each other. Do guys expect first dates to be a lot better than that? Was it all a big waste of time for him?
