Last night, Dateline had a special about dating. They followed four single people on their dates, aquired by different methods, and then asked the public to vote online and tell who we thought would make a match. Turns out, only one of the guys really made a match, the first couple was a no, and the other two were just maybes. The public only got two of them right.

Do you think you're a good judge of how your dates are going? Have you ever had a date that you thought went really well, only to find out that he didn't think so? Do you have any idea what went wrong?

I'm pretty much clueless about how things are going. Sometimes I think it's going well, only to find out I was wrong. I went out with one guy I met online and we went to dinner, had a great conversation, and he gave me quite the goodbye kiss. I never heard from him again. I sure read that one wrong.

What do they say...you know within the first 5 min if you are attracted? LOL.

I think I am a great judge of the MAN I meet at a date. Whether its a "match" or not - I try NOT to judge. I try to relax and have a good time. Only time can really tell whether our values, beliefs, etc match up...

Go.

I think I am a good judge of values, character, integrity, intelligence, compassion and sense of humor on a very early date - usually the first or second. I have been on dates that I thought went well but the man didn't call so I guess he didn't think so - and I have been on dates where I made it abundantly clear I was not interested - and he called. Most of the men I date are in the corporate world - as am I - so my guess is that on a first date what I may view as interest is just them being polished and polite and personable as they would in a business meeting. I go into that same mode when I am out with a nice person I am not attracted to. I am friendly, I make eye contact, but definitely not flirtatious. Also, I don't like to burn bridges so if I am out with someone whose path I might cross again socially or in business I behave well.
