So basically, I (32M) went on a few dates with a girl (29F) back in April. I thought the dates went well, we were laughing, there was (I thought) clear physical chemistry, we had similar long term goals in life (ex. kids, marriage, etc). She broke it off by saying she enjoyed getting to know me but didn’t feel a big romantic connection. That sucks, obviously, but she was mature and up front about it so no hard feelings. We haven’t talked since she broke it off.
I was pretty bummed about it, but kept moving with my life, went on a few dates with other girls that haven’t gone anywhere, and I’ve been thinking about reaching back out and seeing if she’d be down to grab a drink and catch up.
My question is ultimately two fold. First, is this even a good idea? I liked spending time with her and I thought we had a good time together. From my end it seemed like she had a good time, there just wasn’t the “pull” she would have been looking for to keep going. Is reaching back out a month+ later and offering a low stakes invite for a drink overstepping in any way? Second, if it is worth trying, how do I even approach this? How do I do that follow up without coming across as desperate/needy? I’ve never really had a girl be in my life for such a short time and felt the need to re-initiate. I’ve usually been okay with accepting that things didn’t work out, but for whatever reason this one is different.
Thanks in advance.
