Usually emotional people (I am one of them) go through phases where we attract sensitive people who are scared of emotions and don’t know how to deal with the exposure to someone else’s emotions. However, I have to agree with the basic advice about a first date — there is usually not enough data to make a conclusion that is going to satisfy your pain. People, do however, show up for a reason. It always helped me do my personal contemplation and often times, I realized it is simply about the man not looking for a relationship and he was screening to see if a sexual encounter could happen.

Or they had a stupid rule like they don’t date women who eat asparagus…

Men are pretty straightforward and simple. It’s why their “advice" is the way it is.
