I’m divorced and have been online dating for a couple years. I’ve met some great guys and some basket cases, but overall I have one question for you: on the first and/or 2nd date, if the guy seems to talk about himself almost exclusively, and doesn’t seem to be much interested in what I have to say, or doesn’t ask me questions, do I conclude that he is too self absorbed? Or give him the benefit of the doubt that he might be nervous? How many more chances do I give him to show he’s interested in me?
A lot of older men seem to be very self absorbed.
Thanks

Dear Lisa,
Met a man on a popular dating site. Handsom, successful, good dresser, you name it!
1st date went great. The second date, he told me at dinner how attracted he was to me, then mention later that I solid to say anything. I decided to try a third date…seeing if he was a good quality man. He was waiting outside and waiving to me. Told me at dinner he’d told his daughter about , “us”… Us who? And suggested he’d go off the dating site, if I did. I told him, “no”… Considering we hadn’t even spent 8 hours, total, together. I told him at the end our date, he was coming on too strong! I left for vacation, where he continued to tell me how much he’d been thinking of me,…
I didn’t answer. Creeped out. Told him we were not a match, when I got home. I feel terrible, he’s the whole package, but he had me running for the hills.
Am I mean or correct with my gut feelings? TOOOO MUCH, too soon. Smothering.
