I just met a new man and we began seeing each other. I have no idea why I agreed to meet him (we met online), it just felt like a good idea at the time. So we've spent two evenings together talking and getting to know each other. He very clearly likes me, but I feel nothing toward him. I just feel emotionally disconnected. He's nice. Cute. Wonderful in many ways. But I feel nothing. Kissing him is fine, but I feel nothing emotionally. I don't know what to do? End it? I don't want to - partially because I have no idea how to end it and partially because I like the companionship. I don't have anyone else to hang out with. Part of me would like to continue so I can have the physical needs met, but I know that's not fair to him if he is going to fall in love with me.
I seem to be good at "pretending". Like, on a date, I'll be the perfect date. Ask lots of questions, be interested (but it's not sincere, it's more like I do it because I know that's what I am supposed to do), smile when he kisses me and nod when he asks to see me again.
If someone stopped me in the middle of all this and said, "Wait. Do you really want to see him again? Kiss him again? Would you care if you never saw him again?" I'd probably say, no... not really. But I pretend and act like I'm engaged and interested because it's what I think I am supposed to do.
So the bottom line is this guy thinks I'm a great conversationalist, a wonderful girl, and I feel... nothing. And I have no idea why.
Input?
