Sudden cold feet

Well, I've managed to lose two of my guys in a day. Went on a first date with clever travel guy today, which went fine, but when you have zero chemistry and you realise he's instantly not your type, it all becomes such an effort. I left after a few hours, kinda hoping to arrange to meet up with the funny guy who was really keen to meet me.

Having texted him saying I was free this evening, he sent the strangest response saying that although he found me attractive and interesting, he established that he was more after casual than anything. All I proposed was drinks, not marriage!! I guess that many people on match assume that everyone is essentially expecting the latter, which is true in most cases, but still, how can you even do casual if there is no attraction? Perhaps he's on the wrong online dating site.. isn't that what sites like Be Naughty is for? At least half of participants are looking for NSA - no strings attached, casual encounters. So blatant enough for men to proudly display their penises as the main profile image.

So back to the sudden cold feet.. I was still rather confused, and from my experience of men who seem undecided from the word go, tried to call, got a switch to voicemail, then decided to give him the 'nevermind' message. Really not bothered.. all i wanted was to go for drinks on a saturday night with some intelligible conversation! Some may applaud him for laying the cards down before we met, but seriously, it just suddenly turned too complex for my liking.. although he was asking for casual, it was now anything but.
