Too much energy...

[jeanvieve]

Though I had a lovely first date with an extremely hunky French guy that I would have totally shagged on a first date - I think he's going to fade away. I think I'm too intense for him, as I seem to be for a lot of the ones I meet and try going out with from these online matches.

Gosh, they seem to say. I get home from work and I'm tired and I just want to.... insert something here that probably involves TV and food.

It would be nice to meet a higher-energy type. Someone with a gleam in their eye. I can't be the only slightly manic, adventurous, Type-A personality out there looking for a buddy to do things with, can I?

Quel dommage. Still, there was at least a flicker of chemistry. Toujours de l'audace!

The men that can keep up with you are few and far between

Just as there are few women like you :)

Thank you my darling! This is why women become cougars, I bet.

Being a male, for the most part, I can give some perspective on this issue, as I am/was/will be one of those men. For some strange reason males cannot regulate blood sugar. Maybe it's the years of damaging our liver and pancreas with alcohol, or just not eating properly. And we all know low glucose low energy.
The other side to this coin is "the wanting". If I know I'm going to do something at the end of the day I will snack accordingly. Chocolate bars, coffee or cans of coke are not the right kind of snack. If I want to do something with/to somebody, or if it is important to somebody that I be present, then measures can be taken.
The real indicator is the weekend. If your man wants to sit around on the weekend then very little will change his energy level, have some fine meals, some adequate, but not enthusiastic sex (on his part) and keep looking.

Good insight, thanks!

Tested the enthusiasm. It exists. I think he will have a Borg designation for a while.
