I've had a fair few dates lately that went really well, except after the date their behaviour changes.

I am meeting a lot of these girls on dating apps and they are rather good-looking, some think they are better than they actually are, but each to their own. I'd say I am average looking, can hold a conversation and know how to treat women with respect. Not that, that matters...

In terms of self-improvement, I think I could/should lose 10-15kg of weight but I don't think that's a huge stopping point. I think a lot of these issues are those people more than me. They are also single for a reason, probably because they are extremely picky. But who knows?

I know those who say they don't feel a romantic connection after a first date or those who say we have nothing in common are serial daters and go through men like it's nobody's business. I mentioned these to my colleague, and I said I don't even open their message or reply, I just delete their number and move on. He just goes once they close the door, and so should you.

Anyway other than losing weight for self-benefit rather than for women to feel more romantic connections than excuses, what other things could I learn?
