It means he didn't have a flood of endorphins and oxytocin during your date.

he doesn’t want to have sex with you so he doesn’t see the point in continuing to date you.

Amy Webb's book is much better. Amy was smart, but heavy, with frizzy hair. Amy was thoughtful, realistic, selective, had a few dates, got married, and is raising her kids.

Ericka was 29, pretty, petite, and thin. She had 100 dates with "rules" - short, convenient coffee during the day. Her rules did not work! When scheduling problems made her break the rules and meet Jeremy for drinks in the evening, she got engaged. Jeremy is gone. IIRC, Erika was driving to Baltimore for hook-ups with a different guy. She is now in her forties, ranting about dating peeves and "A case for dating your own age", i.e., her age.

To be fair, dating coaches "learn on the job" from client experiences. Their clients are mostly middle-aged and older women who are too picky.

It could be physical, you’re just not his type. But not necessarily. Sometimes it’s vibes.

Haven’t you ever felt that way about a man? I have. I’ve been on both sides of the no-connection thing. Think about the last time you went on a first or second date and, while there’s nothing WRONG with the guy, you’re just not all that excited about him? When a third date would sound like a meeting or an appointment, rather than a date.

That’s how the guy feels.


As a guy, I concur. I went out on date with someone I met a few times. I thought she was stunning and really nice. As the date went on there were just little things that came up in discussion that I knew would get in the way of any long term potential. We were both very physically attracted to each other and probably could have hooked up a few times and enjoyed it, but not what I was looking for. I told her she was gorgeous and while I enjoyed our conversation, I didn't see a connection. She thanked me. We have run in to each other a couple of times since the date and had good conversations. No hard feeling either way.

He's not interested. Move on.

Not compatible in some way or no chemistry - not something they want to pursue any further.

He's letting you know he's not interested in a very nice way. Accept it and move on, even though I know it's hard if you felt a connection.

Yes this.
It’s not a code.
It’s just a polite way to say he wishes you well but you aren’t a match for him.

for more insight, I recommend (non-ironically) reading the book “He’s Just Not That Into You”
It’s a little dated by now but might be helpful anyway.


Gosh no!. We're beyond thinking now. Please stop suggesting this book and the other one

it means not interested. the same thing it means when women say it to men. wtf


My thoughts exactly. why is this even a question?

Better to have someone say it now than you waste your time. It just wasn’t a fit. You move on and meet the next one! Keep your chin up! Don’t let this bother you for one second.
