Umm, you reminded me of a boy I went out with also five times,knowing it would go nowhere, because he was a very nice person, and I simply was inexperienced with breaking up with someone. I kept thinking, give it a chance. But I was not attracted in any way to this nice person, and I could see he was starting to be emotionally attached. So very reluctantly I had to bite the bullet and tell him that I liked him very much as a friend (the kiss of death in any dating relationship, because it is code for : No way, no how). I learned a very valuable lesson from this incident. No matter what anyone tells you, if after three dates you still feel ABSOLUTELY no shaychus, it is 90% certain there is no point going out again. It is rare that it works out after that, and that’s why there are stories about it.
