Hey ya'll
I'm hoping someone can offer some advice or insight into an annoying pattern I've seen on dates lately. I've been on a few dates with different women in the past few months: things start out great, but as the date goes on, theres a drop in their interest and enthusiasm.
At first, everything seems normal. We meet up, have a drink or dinner, and the conversation will be good. There's laughter, sharing stories, and I'll think to myself that its going great. Then, as the night wears on, I'll start to notice that the woman's body language changes. She'll start glancing at her phone, responding to my questions with shorter answers, and generally seem less engaged.
It's not just one or two instances - this has happened on multiple dates with different women. I've tried to brush it off as nerves or a bad day, but it's starting to get to me. I feel like I'm doing everything right: I'm respectful, attentive, and genuinely interested in getting to know them. But somehow, I'm just not holding their attention.
I've asked myself if it's something I'm doing (or not doing), but I'm stumped. I'm not pushy or aggressive, and I make sure to listen actively and show interest in their lives. I've even tried mixing up the date activities to keep things fresh and exciting.
Has anyone else experienced this? Am I just not "it" for these women, or is there something I can do to keep the spark alive on dates?
Thanks in advance for any advice or insights!
