I recently had to delicately admit to a potential date that I truly did not feel any chemistry towards him. I took a little time talking and texting, coffee, etc because I thought he was a good person. Who knows? Maybe I'd become physically attracted???

Long story short, he was pissed and accused me of being too picky and having too many choices. The dude tried to mentally shame me. Then tried to make me jealous and tell me that he has a date this weekend.

I dodged an a**hole.

I say, follow your gut and the chemistry.

Has anyone truly ever generated chemistry that wasn't instantaneous?

Acquired taste

requires time.

Regardless of effort some were never meant to be.


People becoming angry because someone isn't attracted unto them are hypocrites at best.

The vast majority of the time they either don't care for you or they aren't your cup o' tea.

It's about evaluating, listening and paying attention. There are limitless clues a person gives off through body language and other means. A soft well placed word, a slight touch on the arm, a held gaze, etc... What I am saying is this. Obviously, we love it when there's that person that just makes your lip curl. But, sometimes you can be missing something if you're not attentive. Depends on what you're looking to gain from the evening.

das...I don't think this fella believes that women get rejected too. He just assumes I have my pick of the crop. I politely tried to explain that is a fallacy. We all have to deal with rejection and disappointment. I'm adding Emotional maturity to my must have list !
joe...indeed. Getting to know someone should be casual and without expectation other than enjoying each others company for the moment. If something more develops then there is a time and place for that discussion of expectations.

Well, it depends on exactly what you mean by "generated chemistry."

I've seen plenty of instances where someone insisted they felt nothing, but ended up in bed with the other person anyway. Most of the time, I assumed that their original claim was a lie, said in order to play whatever game they were enjoying at the time.

I've also occasionally seen people who changed their minds or sensibilities about someone over a period of time, thinking at first that they were only good for friends, and coming later to appreciate them otherwise. Rare, but happens.

One big thing I've seen happen, is positive results from "negging." Look that up, if you don't recognize it. Now again, in my opinion, "negging" only actually works, when the woman DOES already feel physically attracted, but needs to given an excuse to go ahead with the physicality; but people who use "negging," always claim that the negging actively caused the attraction to occur.

Can't say I've ever seen someone do what your guy was trying to do, though. The "petulant whiny child, stamping his foot and demanding candy" technique usually doesn't even work when one IS a little child.

Yes. And no.

I think women know within minutes. It's a sure fire no. Not attractive.

But there are instances with the possibly no/maybe comes into play.

He's great. Funny. Attentive. Smart. Witty.

Over time, that becomes more and more clear. His face starts to change. You see him differently. You find him attractive.

Both have happened to me.

can not say for a fact you can or can not. I can attribute many of my early relationship failures or what was thought to be chemistry between the two of us. But those that knows me knows that was a disaster. I have great chemistry and relationships between Cliff and Donna and there was nothing there at first. We was all just in friend zones and it was years with Cliff. But all that time chemistry ( or steady trust ) grew and here we ( Donna, Cliff and I )are.

tests...I learned a new urban word. Thank you. So that's what you call it!
I was totally negged Sunday. Guess I was a smart as and asked for it. Was fun.

Can't say the negging contributed to the chemistry. It was there before the negging started.

I think a person can enhance attraction with their personality. I was hoping for that with the guy who failed to appreciate that I didn't automatically dismiss him based on lack of chemistry on my end. He's a fool. Don't think he has negging skillz

I usually look for someone who can be good a companion over chemistry. Sometimes passion is never built in the relationship and things stall out in the romance department. Sometimes things gradually change once you get to know them better.

That happened with the man I was dating in 2012. I wasn't originally attracted to him when I first met him. He wasn't my type. The first kiss, however, was pretty good. It was a sweep you off your feet kiss... a good strong, passionate kiss. He was pretty good at doing fun things with me too. When it came to sex, we talked about being exclusive beforehand. So, that was another thing that I liked about him. Oh... and he also opened the car door for me (re: your other post). He was great in bed too! However, I didn't start feeling like I adored him until we were having sex for a couple weeks and he invited me to watch him play baseball. He's a great baseball player. I admired that about him. I'd cook him dinner. We'd go walk down to the beach at midnight and sit on the dock. It was nice and romantic. I sometimes forget how much fun we had.

So, I am going to say... yes chemistry can change if there is a good first kiss, fun companionship, the sign of good values, good sex, and other admirable qualities.

However, the 2 month honeymoon period can sometimes fade away. You never really know someone until you've had your first fight. I suppose it's better to know someone is an azzhat upfront than to become attached to a person only to find out later.

Chemistry? Sparks? Has become such BS nowadays. It call comes down to is those DAMN feelings and emotions. Only now it has to be instantaneous. First date, if not, on a second date and that's only if he's attractive enough or spent enough money the first time.

This is the major reason for so many single moms. Women will base a relationship on sparks and chemistry BS. No real standards, rules or ethics. Just feel chemistry / sparks then start commitment bcuz your "feelings" say so. The presence of emotions is the absence of good judgment. Always!

The reason for single moms is sex and sex with little or not sufficient protection. Then obviously having sex early into a relationship. Just spells for disaster. They might not of even dated the guy for that long then get pregnant lol
In dot points reasons would be
1. Dating culture
2. Sex early in
3. Not good protection

It sounds like attraction from looks is the only thing you judge chemistry by.


and its possible, you weren't being picky or whatever, so he was wrong there.

It may have been apprehension that you'd have with anyone. Sometimes relations from the past can cause this in a person to where they don't even realize it.

You may have dodged a bullet, he may have dodged a bullet.

I've had chemistry be there in the beginning, I've had it later, after I got to know the person better.

you have to remember, your dealing with mostly ten year olds in adult skin, where image is everything due to not enough real life experiences in things they are protected from, that if they weren't protected from them....they'd not go by images so much....thus not be ten year olds in adult skin.

Remember my references to those initial beginnings the genders have.

Well, a lot of this, and other common TALK about relationships, is better understood if you step back a little, and recognize that a lot of people do and say things based on what they hear and see in others, rather than because they've done the work in themselves, to make sure it's all real.

What I mean is, people talk about "Chemistry," because so many people are already talking about chemistry. Once the catch-all term was made popular, all the talk about it became the kind of "background noise" which makes all sorts of things appear to be true, which are really just convenient metaphors, or even complete nonsense.

Politics is similarly infested with concepts which are really only supported by the fact that everyone has been taught to believe them.

At the core, we humans want to have a good time in our lives. We do what we THINK will make that happen. We call for changes that we have HEARD will have that result.

The concept of "chemistry," has become a modern superstition. It's even based on magic, for goodness sake. People are supposed to just "know" that they do or don't have "chemistry" with another person, within moments of meeting them.

Hilariously, although most people consciously switch to making fun of "fairy tale" concepts of love, and stroke their egos to celebrate that they no longer believe in princes and princesses and happily ever after, they will chatter away about "chemistry" as though it's a more scientific and rational approach to dating.

But it's really just a one-for-one swap of one myth for another.

But take note: It's also just as ludicrous to go whole hog the other way, and completely discard all of this. Playing the "above and beyond it all" game, and patting yourself on the back for "seeing through the BS" is often just another inside out self-delusion.

Nope, I tried that with a guy for a year. We were TOTALLY compatible. I did more activities in a year with him than with my ex hubby of 20 yrs. He was kind and sweet. We got along great. We were a copule for a year but... no chemistry for me. I enjoyed being with him but I knew my like would never turn into love. I thought over time it would change. I had to let him go, great catch, but not for me.

I think it's possible, providing the other person has a good personally and is a generally a decent person. I think if you spend enough time talking and Listening to a person, you'll feel the chemistry. I also think that it's important that you have a few things in common, like values, outlook on life and some other common interests, to start off. Good personal hygiene is a must for me and can be an instant deal breaker, chemistry or not. However I think good chemistry is important for any relationship, sometimes it's instant, sometimes it comes overtime once you really get to know someone and sometimes it never happens, especially if you're just too different.

However, if two people really like each other enough and they both have the same desire, I think anything is possible.

By the way that guy was a jerk and your intuition told you to back away.

OP - That guy was a jerk, but you were a bit of a clown. The "instant chemistry" you sometimes feel is NOT generated by the other person, or the circumstance. It is generated by you-the one feeling it-and is a sort of 'high' from all of the brain chemicals you OD-ed on by expecting so much from an encounter. Your expectations create a form of nervous tension, the tension increases anticipation, which increases tension, etc, until you half give yourself a mental orgasm.....perhaps even a physical orgasm, too. You could do the same with any / every one you meet...but generally do not. Why you choose to generate so much anticipation, tension, etc, over a particular encounter....the guy is especially tall, he reminds you of your dad, or whatever-only you could know. If you choose to not generate 'chemistry' at first sight, you can choose to generate it further down the road....falling hard for a previously platonic pal, or whatever. That would be up to you. Letting your sub-conscious mind-rather than your conscious mind-direct your 'chemistry generating' is easy, and seems more romantic....blaming Karma, Fate, God, or whatever...but it is really just you doing it all. Learn to take conscious control of your chemistry generating, and you may enjoy life more.

Quote from pagal17:
I recently had to delicately admit to a potential date that I truly did not feel any chemistry towards him. I took a little time talking and texting, coffee, etc because I thought he was a good person. Who knows? Maybe I'd become physically attracted???

Long story short, he was pissed and accused me of being too picky and having too many choices. The dude tried to mentally shame me. Then tried to make me jealous and tell me that he has a date this weekend.

I dodged an a**hole.

I say, follow your gut and the chemistry.

Has anyone truly ever generated chemistry that wasn't instantaneous?


Here is the very reason that very few women will ever find a good man. They want that instant chemistry, that normally happens when they meet that men that are attractive, rich, unpredictable, and have that rough edge.

Look to the world of chemistry and you will see that instant reactions are short lived, while those that take time to build last longer.

I've spent months with some nice guys and realized they deserved someone who would be crazy about them. I have tried.

I've had two powerful chemical connections in the past. You can't fit a square peg through a triangle. I've also had to gracefully accept equal rejection as well.

Not all women fit under your generalized blanket assessment.

It's not fair to the other person. Do you want someone who is kinda, sorta attracted to you? Would you be happy with that?

I say he's right. At YOUR age you don't want to do anymore than hold hands upon New Years Eve do you? Who needs chemistry? That's for the kiddies in here. You know you may have wondered where all the NICE GUYS are, the REAL MEN.......... I'm guessing YOU had him, YOU dumped him. What did you expect him to do? Be content to be put down by the likes of you? Wait to be dissed by his date again? I'd have broke up with your sorry a** too and I would have done it right away. Men won't give a woman respect when she shows none of it herself.

NO WONDER you still single or DIVORCED! You always treat guys so bad?

I think so. Chemistry is important, there's no doubt about that. Its all just a matter of communication a lot of times

I think a lot of us look for "chemistry" even MORE, after we go through a marriage or several failed relationships.

The big promise of "chemistry" isn't just the wonderful sensuality. It's the overall ability to settle in with someone at your side, who you can turn and just plain enjoy life directly with them, without worrying about every little chance you might offend them.

I've myself, been through too many relationships where the proportion of "working hard to make things go okay" to "enjoying being a couple" was about ten to one. I REALLY want the kind of chemistry next time, where I don't have to do that.

That's why I really do understand the people who, especially later in life, are more likely to hit the eject button sooner rather than later. I don't mind a bit if a woman, no matter how attracted I am to her, realizes quickly that I wont "do it" for her, and moves on firmly and politely.

The last thing, LITERALLY the last thing I want to have to do any more, is to have to PERSUADE someone to spend time with me.

I see a big diff between...chemistry and synchronicity...if I am using the word correctly.

Chemistry is that fire...butterflies...jittery...all on...GO...

Question...for all those who hv had that ? How long did the relationship last ?


Now the second..much harder to find...and in my opinion..much longer lasting and about much more than chemistry...

The first one led me into some...well..Oh Sweet Jesus

Some folks you hit it off with right away and some folks grow on you, and then there are some that you just don't dig from the get go and some fall from your graces.

Enjoy what you can and don't dwell on the rest.

It is at times difficult to tell someone you really are not into them right after you just had sex with them. At least you gave it your all!

I meet a guy many years ago. Thought nothing of him at first. Absolutely no chemistry. If he asked me then for a date I would have said No to him. He lived in the same complex I did, and we shared the same friends. After months of getting to know him, the chemistry grew. We ended up dating for more than a year. Would have been a great bf to keep if it was not for his anger control issues while drinking. Too bad I did not see that one upfront.

Normally when my spidy seances say its not a good match, its for a good reason. Dodged many of bad apples by sticking to my initial thoughts.

But for your question, yes chemistry can grow...sometimes.

I have been reading several books on obscure Royal families of Europe. One such family lived in France but ruled southern Italy. They kind of supplied women for the Royal families of France and England. One such lady writes about an arranged marriage that never goes well. The setting is the 100 Years War on top of a minor Civil War in England.

That is the problem, "Nice Guys" will never get a woman hot. They are too dependable, and stable, there is no thrill. Women want that THRILL, no matter what.

As for wanting someone that is kinda, sorta attracted to me, that will never happen. You see I do not posses the good looks, monetary advantage, or rough edges that attract women.

In fact I lead a very boring life.
