A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I'm trying to forget this man I fell hard for and get into a committed relationship. It's hard but I'm trying. I went on a date and though the man was nice, cute boyish face, and we had a lot in common-I didn't feel anything. I hoped and hoped he wouldn't try to kiss me and well, aren't I supposed to feel differently?

Sounds like either he aint the right guy for you, or you aren't allowing yourself to let go of this other guy.

Don't try to "forget" this past guy, rather "accept" that it is over. Give yourself the chance to meet a new guy, they could be WAY better than the previous guy. Maybe try a few dates with the same guy to see if any chemistry develops.

Aliceinunderland agony auntIt's very common for women not to feel anything until up to the sixth date, whereas men often decided that they are in love with a women on the first date. - That's what I was told by my psychology teacher, whether it is true or not I do not know.

Personally, I don't feel anything on first dates, probably because I know the person too well already. Perhaps I've made my mind up about them beforehand.

How well do you know him? Is he interesting? I suggest going on a couple more dates and see how it goes :) x

If you're trying to forget someone, yes, it is going to take a while for you to feel something for someone else.

It's up to you whether you want to see the guy again, but if you don't feel any attraction to him, or if there's no spark, then I suggest to not see him again. It's no use leading him on.
