Sparks on the first date

[alikat2]

I went on a blind date last night--the brother of one of the girls I work with--and though he was very nice, I just wasn't feeling any real sparks. I mean, I RARELY do on the first date. It's only happened twice that I can remember, and the second time was a guy I'd known a long time anyway.

If you don't feel any huge fireworks on the first date, do you think it pretty much means there's no chemistry? I've continued to date guys I've liked, but not LIKED, if you know what I mean, and I've been told I lead people on because of it.

I just think sometimes it takes a while for feelings/attraction/whatever to develop and you need to give things more of a chance.

What do you all think?
