Green_Sleeves: Just wondering.DATES/MEETUPS.Ya know when you meet up with someone and things are going ok, you had a few drinks, coffee, bite to eat, whatever and its time to part company, have you, or your 'date' ever said, 'that was nice but I dont want to meet again', or words to that effect.
I was just thinking, I've had a few where like I assumed everything was grand and we got on well and at the end it was like 'really nice to meet you, I had a nice day, talk to you later' etc etc, but, you kinda know there is no real interest there and you can tell from their communication, or lack there of in the following days that they aint bothered.Guess I've done it too , but, are you, or have any of your dates been up front and honest and given you a 'thanks, but no more' after a date??

of the dates iv had off here one has said he didnt think i was his type after meeting me, that i was a lovely person but too quiet for him and he didnt think it should go any further. most of the others have just ignored me afterwards bar one or two but thats how it goes

Yes, I did that twice. The first time was mutual I think. The second time was not so much...it seemed he got cross about it a couple of hours later (texts) I havnt done it since.

Or "will you wear less clothes next time"or "will you brush the dandruff off your shoulders next time"
or "thats the shortest looking 6ft I've ever seen"

HI GS sorry about the aul NCT today
mine failed a month ago --i'd had it serviced before it went in ,asked the mechanic to check the handbrake and reolace the cable if needed --he didn't --guess what i failed on !
anyway , one new handbrake cable , and 1 week later-it passed .
You've got 30 days to fix the problem(s)
you'll be grand
Back to your thread --it is far better when someone is honest about wether they want to meet up again --especially when a person has tried to get their confidence up to ask for a date in the first place !!-
I have been in this situation a couple of times in the last couple of months --i felt it was only decent to say after the first date , that i didn't think we should meet again -
i think it is a horrible feeling , when someone just stops communicating with you --you're left in limbo , not knowing what is happening or what you done wrong ---and that's not right or fair
Better to be honest , let the other person know and move on
I agree that the first "date" is more of a meet up really and think it would be very presumptuous and rude to just spit it out and say "yeah thanks but you are not my type".

Hi Serenity: I agree that it is nice to know where you stand, but I imagine someone you have only just meet being that blunt with you might be hurtful to some people.
Of course you personally would probably let them down in a very nice way so they don't even realize they are being tossed to one side
personally i think meeting up fairly soon after the first correspondence is important, that way if things go downhill fast no harm done either side then as no expectations are prematurely formes. then its easier say best of luck..:-)
the_whistler: personally i think meeting up fairly soon after the first correspondence is important, that way if things go downhill fast no harm done either side then as no expectations are prematurely formes. then its easier say best of luck..:-)
Have you said ta ra, best of luck on a first meet?

well said B
I never did get the whole subtlety thing.... so it's never an issue lol
Serenity4two: SDB !! great to see you again hows you ?
well , in my case , i would have been talking to the man on the phone , probably for at least a couple of weeks before i would meet up in person --so i would already know quite alot about him before we meet -
On meeting , that's when you really know if there is actual chemistry there !
For me , if he has to be a great kisser ! lol as well as being a great person !
But yes ,you're right --i would always be polite and gentle -
rather then be too brutal , which some people can be !
I think if you're left in limbo --as in , the person you've been talking to for days / weeks / suddenly disappears --falls off the face of the earth --well that's hurtful and cruel --
Nothing worse , than mindgames --and at the end of the day , none of us are mind readers --better to be straight up and let them down gently so that both parties know where you stand

hello Queen of the Serene
I totally agree with you....I would also have chatted by email or phone or text (or all three) to someone for a while before meeting up. I also agree with Whistler and if I really like the sound of someone I am keen to meet them sooner rather than later.
I do think that chemistry is important and if it is not there (on my side) then I let them know....but am subtle about it.
I have made quite a few male friend from here after meeting up face to face, one on one for a chat/lunch etc. I guess it was mutual non-attraction that left us just friends, but the friendship bit came about due to mutually liking each other. So I guess what I mean is that it is well and good to be honest and up front but you could lose something in the long run maybe?
MADDOG69: I never did get the whole subtlety thing.... so it's never an issue lol
yeah you'd be a nightmare first date
I reckon I'd need years of therapy afterwards MADDOG69: I never did get the whole subtlety thing.... so it's never an issue lol
So do you screech "minger" and run?

NO and no. It works both ways. And this sort of ties into what I wrote on the other thread about the date suggestion. If it's some activity, you may not pick up how the date is going... as in really going. Sitting face to face over an auld brew gives one the opportunity to know the date is not going so well or if it's going great. Asking before half time once the body language has said it all. It's more of a "we're never going to work out, are we?". Surprisingly, the pressure is off, and the second half of the cup goes down very relaxing then. Most of the time... lol

DATES/MEETUPS.
Ya know when you meet up with someone and things are going ok, you had a few drinks, coffee, bite to eat, whatever and its time to part company, have you, or your 'date' ever said, 'that was nice but I dont want to meet again', or words to that effect.
I was just thinking, I've had a few where like I assumed everything was grand and we got on well and at the end it was like 'really nice to meet you, I had a nice day, talk to you later' etc etc, but, you kinda know there is no real interest there and you can tell from their communication, or lack there of in the following days that they aint bothered.
Guess I've done it too
