hi guys do you go on dates with people you feel nothing for? about me im not dating no one right now but for me i need to at least feel a bit of chemistry to accept to go on a date with a guy. but without feel nothing i wouldnt accept but would be only friends and dont give chance to maybe be more bcs i think that chemistry is important and also feelings are everything to fall or not for someone. what about you guys? dont you think is needed at least chemistry to go on a date? please share

i would not go on a date that i feel nothing at all for. It would be really unfair as i would see it as though i was leading them on and letting them think that they have a chance to be with me when they don't. It is so unfair to play with peoples feelings and emotions, some people are fragile and it would be so unfair on them, i just really could not do this at all. I don't mind going out for a drink but i would make it clear from the start that we are friends and that is the way it is staying. However if there is something there or if something develops when spending time together then that is a different matter completely.

Hi SLF. I am always try to give a chance, it easier if there is a chemistry, but some times you need more then just one or two dates to really know the person, and you know sometimes people don't act at their best.. so how can you know may be your date had a very hard day, or may be he don't feel so good or i don't know what is over him. So i think you should decide after 3 dates at least if you moving on, how know may be the chemistry will do her magic at the second date :)

I haved to feel at least a little something for the person i date. It would seem like a waste of everybod's time to date someone I felt nothing for.

Hi there. I don't think I will do that. For me, if we are just 'trying out' to see if there's something then that is totally fine. However, if you are going out for a date just for 'fun', then I don't agree with it. Like what sweetloveforeve said, go for a date only when there is some chemistry or at least, you think there are some :)

I agree 100% with you sweetloveforever, chemistry is something crucial especially when it comes to first date, haha. For me personally, i don't like tricked date, i mean planned one, i like spontaneous ones, meaning, knowing a girl & whenever i meet her i try to stick with her as long as i can,lol It's like a pre-planned date, haha, but less & less committment. You are right when You said, i can't or i don't have the courage to go out with someone i barely know or you don't have a chemistry with, am like you that way, i gess you have to follow the trick i make,lol pre-planned date.

Hi Sweetloveforeve. I agree one needs to have chemistry. I don't like to date people that I don't feel nothing for because I just think is wrong to let other people have high hopes for a relationship that it will never be, it will be heart breaking. I have been in situations when the guys gave me false hopes and my feelings were hurt. I don't think I can do the same thing to others no way. No attraction, no chemistry, no date.

Hi sweet love forever: I won't do that because it goes against my values. I don't think it's good to hurt someones feelings. And this could happened if you lie to a person. As you have mentioned chemistry is something really important and it's not right to start a relationship without feeling love. ALVARO

If i don't have a bf now, I will surely be going out with someone even if i don't feel anything for him. I just wouldn't know if i will be feeling something for him if i won't give him a chance to go for a date. We can know more if we have chemistry or if we really can connect to each other if we talk right. I have read from a book that if you give a guy a chance to let you know who he really is, then you may have given him a chance to love him.
