awkward end to a first date

[Aerts]

so I went out on a first date with a girl. I could tell she was physically attracted to me, as I was to her. The conversation and body language seemed good for the first half of the date, but in the second half it waned and I felt like we had nothing to talk about and she was keeping all her cards hidden. Then the end: we were outside, and I went in for a kiss and then pulled back because I got the sudden feeling like I shouldn't. I then just gave her a hug and left. This was a very awkward moment for both of us. I've never done anything like that before! Have I ruined things from here on out?

I am also dating another girl right now who I think I could actually be a keeper... I just did this date because the opportunity came and I didn't want to say no. Is the awkwardness just a way of my gut telling me I should stick with the other girl (whom I have the same or better physical attraction, and a much higher personality/mental chemistry with)? Any advice on this?

imo most of us put all of our eggs into one basket much too soon.

You should date multiple women. See em once a week.

Generally, you can never go too slow - only too fast.

I honestly think it takes an average of 6 months to know someone well, before you can really decide if they are relationship material.

So go out with her again - and take the pressure off yourself - by going out with other people.

Just remember that women are not disposable pleasures but worthwhile pursuits.

Sorry I don't think it's wise to put anyone on a pedestal until they prove themselves worthy.

Both men and women in our society have proved over and over again just how fukked up they are.

Most people wouldn't know a good relationship if it hit them over the head with a two by four.

Dating game is so hard as you know. One false move, you are out. One thing I learn about women is that men are too simple to understand women. Good luck, next time.

I guess things happen for a reason. If you don't take risks, you'll never get ahead.
