Dates are the WORST

Yu... You're making even less sense than me.:P

Me I treat a relationship as it should be even it's it an LDR. A relationship is a relationship no matter what. Maybe I'm too trusting? I've never been the type to text a girl because of insecurities because I feel at my age I shouldn't have to as we're adults.

It's pretty obvious that not all girls are like that. I've went on dates that were great and one that weren't so good - it's just the way of things and your experiences are either a display of what the girls you dated think of you in which case, you could probably gauge you aren't their type and aren't worth further pursuit. Or perhaps they're too shy to keep a conversation going in which, you should step out your comfort zone and try for a more engaging conversation - pick up the slack until she feels like she can talk much more with you, it's much better to be the talkative one than languishing in an awkward silence. It might take 2, 10 or 100 dates before you find the right girl who'd appreciate you, the least you can do is try to have fun before you find the right one. At least that's what I've learned from my dating experience.
