Dating & Meeting People

So I have dated a few girls since the start of 2006 and I am not sure what is wrong with me, if anything.

They are all really nice, but I guess it is just me being oversexed and poor at picking up the 'no thank you' signal. This doesn't mean I would jump straight in to bed with someone, but would appreciate an honest answer if I ask whether I can see them again.

A couple of amusing dating disasters that have happened to me:

Girl A: met in a Latin American food hall in London as she said she was into Brazilian food. Things seemed to be going well (or at least I thought so) and I certainly hadn't made any rude comments. Then on the hour she said she had to go and left! Not sure what happened there, but left be puzzled and then amussed.

Girl B: had a good evening with, and had a cheeky kiss on the way home. Following day called me to say she didn't want to see me again as there wasn't anything there. Hmmm - again not sure what that was about, but at least she was honest.

Girl C: invited me in after a date, and then ten minutes later asked me to leave. I hadn't even sat down! That one left me very bemused.

So what I am trying to get at is that this dating thing is as hard for us chaps as it is for the chapesses, and the old rules (if they ever really existed) probably need updating to take account of the internet age.

So on to meeting new people. I have met, online as it happens, some great people this year and have, or will do shortly, meet up with them for coffee. One girl lives and works in Europe and h as just started dating someone so it will just be for a drink and friendship - we both are honest and open about that - whilst the other one is single and we have agreed to be grown up and yet see what happens!
