Search Results: dating a girl who never dated before

"Back in the day" (when I was a young man, shortly after the Spanish-American War,) there was no internet, no cell phones, no texting, no FB, IG, SC, Twitter, G@G, TInder, POF, match. com, or anything else. Somehow we survived!

Anyway. . . sometimes, a friend's girlfriend would say, "I have a friend who would be PERFECT for you!" When I asked, "What does she look like?" they would respond, "She has a great personality," and that let me know to not expect a beauty queen. Sometimes, the friend's girlfriend would set up a date, sometimes it would be a double date with the friend and his girlfriend, and I would just show up and meet the lucky contestant. Sometimes, I would call the girl to arrange the date but I never met her, or saw her, in advance of the date. These were called "blind dates;" perhaps that term is still used.

Usually, there were no great surprises, because I entered such dates with virtually no expectations, though I did have one date with a girl - Candace -from Agnes Scott College who was charming and beautiful! None of the blind dates resulted in a long term relationship, but it did develop some dating skills that later became useful (I started college when I was 16 - not common in my day - and was trying to date girls who were at least 3 years older than me. Yes, that was harder than Chinese arithmetic!)

Have you ever had a blind date? How did it work out for you? Did he or she "have a wonderful personality?"

So I met this girl through a dating app, we knew of each other before hand through mutual friends but never actually met. We started hanging out and stuff seemed to be going well. We have gone on a few dates such as going to the movies or out to dinner, usually suggested and paid for by me. And it seemed like we were getting close. But the thing is we never done more than hug or cuddle. No kissing or anything after roughly 10 dates. And then last night when we were hanging out she referred to me as her friend to one of her friends and I also learned she has been also hanging out with another guy I know who is also single. So should I just give up on trying for something with her?
