Ever had one of those dates...
Where you were super glad that, by the end of it, you could tell he was clearly just as not interested in you, as you were in him?
Because I had one today. We met for lunch at this awesome vegetarian / vegan diner (bonus points to him - and I'm definitely keeping that places on my list of awesome eateries), and then went for a hike in a state park (fun time). But you could tell we just weren't clicking.
At the end, we drove back to where I'd left my car (yes, you can all berate me now for getting in a car with a guy I just met and driving out to a wooded, secluded area), and he didn't even park his car - just let me get out.
Suppose it's definitely for the best, anyway. I set this up before my second date with D and things seem to be going really well with him, so I think I'd rather focus on that budding relationship.

Re: Ever had one of those dates...
Yes, my date on Tuesday night was like that. I think at the end we were both relieved that the date was over.
No flames. If you felt something was off, you wouldn't have gotten in the car. At least you weren't drunk when you got into his car. I'd have kicked your ass for that!
Glad things are going well with D. When will you see him again?
At least it was in the middle of the day, and the park is VERY well travelled.
And I'm seeing D again tomorrow
. Friday went well, as did Sunday, and we're going out tomorrow to one of my new favorite tapas places. I think I'm probably headed down his way mid next week since I've signed up for an intense repro rights lobby weekend (Friday through Tuesday) next weekend.

Yeah, I've had a few dates with the loose hug goodbye and "nice to meet you!" and then that was it.

I had one of those. We got along fine and had a great conversation, but it was just kind of, "Umm.. Okay, bye."
And then the next day I got the obligatory SMS saying, "I hope you're okay and no one you know was hurt!" You know, the kind you get when someone blows up a large building in the middle of your city?
Because there's nothing weirder than ending a mutually-unsuccessful date that you don't even plan to follow up, with thoughts that maybe that "okay" guy you hung out with the day before could be injured or even dead.
