I went in my first date a few days ago and still bummed out because of how bad it was. Or at least how bad I think it was. I feel like I was too serious. Too “to the point.”

Most of the bad dates I've been on were bad in a totally uninteresting way. Just boredom and no chemistry. The closest to an interestingly bad date was when I met this guy for coffee in a Barnes and Noble and he talked SO LOUD. I couldn't think of a nice way to tell him he was too loud, so I just tried talking quieter and quieter, hoping that he would match my tone. Nope, guy is still loud as hell, social cues be damned. Eventually, just when we were about to leave, this older lady comes over to give him a talking to for being too loud in a public area where people are trying to read. We were in our late 20s and she's scolding him like he's a kid. He was really embarrassed and I felt guilty for not trying harder to get him to quiet down. I agreed to a 2nd date just so he wouldn't think I turned him down because of that, but it didn't get any farther than that. We had nothing in common really.
