Should I Cancel?

Hey Everyone. I have a little dilemma:

I am supposed to go on a date with a guy tomorrow night, I met him off the Internet, he is the first guy I have ever decided to meet in person. I have seen pictures and he's a good looking guy, but when he called today to confirm I just sensed that I wouldn't be into him. He seemed a little stiff, and dry. Now I'm wondering if I should even go through with the date, if I know I'm not going to be interested...why waste either of our times?

What do you think? Should I call and cancel, or grin and bear it?

I agree with Shy - maybe he was just nervous on the phone, but he'll be better in person. If not, you can make an excuse to leave early if it's too painful. But go with an open mind - you never really know until you meet.

AJ, enjoying life with C.

And women wonder why I don't like to call to arrange a date! What did you expect from a first call, a vaudeville performance?

This response might be a little late, but you should definitely go out w/ the guy. What if he was just nervous to talk to you, which is why he sounded a little weird on the phone. I'm sure you've felt that way before. You won't be completely sure about this guy until you actually see him in person and spend time w/ him. It's better to be sure then to wonder if you made the right decision on cancelling out on him.

You should definitely go for it =)
