I'm an Indian guy , earlier 30s, (grew up in India) and currently living in LA. I've been going on a lot of first dates recently with the intention of a relationship but Im completely unable to go past to the second date. I'd say Im decently good looking, have good pictures and have decent texting skills so don't have issues getting dates,going to 2-3 per week for now. I've been almost exclusively going out with white and asian women for now to explore dating other ethnicities, but have rarely gone past the 1st date. What do you think can be the possible reasons, if you have been in this situation? I had a few in mind.

  1. finding something serious is actually hard for anyone***
  2. while chatting they don't realize I'm actually from India as I exchange at most 10 messages before going out, and when they meet they hear my accent and realize this isn't going to work out due to stereotypes/differences
  3. I'm very flirty in chats but on the real date I sometimes forget to even compliment them because I get into the 'friendly' vibe, so they dont feel romantic chemistry
  4. A lot of times we start discussing things like movies/music and I don't even know a single artist/movie they like because I grew up in a different country so hard to find commonalities
  5. My pictures are good but I don't look THAT good on the date so they feel catfished
