you must be as fun as a sack of rocks.
jesus efin christ,you did it to yourself
If a guy was that rude to date, I'm pretty sure he lost all possibilities if a second one. There is no way I would try to make amends to someone who was that rude of a jackass.
YDI. You have supposedly had a crush on him for ages and you screwed it up. Would you be this dull in an interview for a dream job?
I'll probably get downvoted, but, be glad he was a total douche. It was wrong of him and totally uncalled for but at least now you will have no problem letting go completely of that crush. Speaking from experience, if the date went just okay but he let you down easy, you might have been crushing hard enough to convince yourself you still have a chance...in which case you stay hung up on an unobtainable asshole (in this case) for way longer than need be. I've been in a similar situation, and I wish my crush had acted a fool so I knew where we stood. Also, I imagine the behavior instantly killed any feelings you had for him. Sorry for the book. Hope ya find someone who appreciates you.:)
You guys lacked chemistry. He was a bit blunt to accuse you of having no personality, since conversations and connections are two-way-streets. Try not to take that part of what he said too seriously, because for all you and we know, he was the one who failed at carrying a conversation. With that said, him being honest with you saves you a lot of hassle. I speak from experience. Before I met my fiancee, I went on a string of about twelve single dates with about eight different women. You know what happened? They smiled, I smiled, we joked, and after each date, they would ignore my messages and not respond to phone calls. I thought the dates went great. Had they just been upfront and honest, like your crush was with you, it would have saved me a lot of anxiety and wondering about how they felt about me. You must be feeling pissed off or let down right now, but believe me, this type of rejection is far better than the "polite" ignoring one.
That is a good point.. but at the same time to have someone be that blunt and actually cruel to OP (he could have been honest in a FAR kinder way - OP wasn't horrible to him and in no way deserved that response). And to have someone say that to you - it makes you question everything you did and are. Mind you - what you described sounds like it would do the same.
His comment on 'zero personality' is rubbish by the way. it isn't true - people relate to each other differently and clearly he wasn't on your level - didn't make you feel comfortable. It is such a jerk move to put it like he did. and you were probably nervous - I have a great personality (I think) but when I am nervous or in a formal situation I find it really hard. move on from him and try not to take it to heart - he has probably said it to someone else at some point, if he didn't feel it was going well... you deserve better.
As much as this sucks, it's better he was honest. I would have been a lot more hurt if he did a window escape. He could have at least waited until the end of the date though
It does suck and he was rude, but at least you know the two of you won't work together. It's better to know than to always wonder. I am sure you'll move on and you will find a guy better for you.

I'm sorry that your heart is crushed but you can't exactly fault the guy for being honest. He could've been so much nicer but he was being true to his feelings. Even if you thought he was meant for you, he clearly doesn't feel the same way about you. Cheer up and find someone else who loves you for who you are :)
At least he was honest with you
