I got out of a relationship a couple years ago and wanted to play the field. I'd never really had one-night-stands or hookups before and honestly just wanted to develop my ability to seducing someone and see what that experience is like. I sucked for a while but then kinda got the hang of it, and now it's not really an issue to find someone to sleep with if I really wanted to. Then I got bored and wanted to develop something deeper with someone and started going on 'regular' get to know you dates. They ALWAYS bust and I'm absolutely confounded as to why. I've never had this problem before in my life. It may have something to do with living in a big city now but I'm not sure.

Whenever I take it slow and then ask for a 2nd date I keep getting feedback along the lines of "You're a nice guy but there's no spark" or "I want to be with a guy who excites me" or they're "too busy". I can almost guarantee these women would not have said that if I turned on the seduction jets date 1... When I get fed up and then go out and just to get laid that's when girls are wanting 2nd dates with me and I hate it. I honestly just want to find someone I feel comfortable with and connect with and can laugh and feel comfortable with before sleeping with them but when I aim for that in the date they bust... It happens so much I'm pretty much ready to just give up trying to be a traditional relationship type a guy and just get better at seducing women since at least that works. Anyone else have this issue? Is it a result of being in a big city? Very confused as my recent experiences very much goes against what most women say they want...
