Like guys who want to get with me make it too intense and don't give me a chance to just get to know them and decide if they are someone I would like to date. They expect you to be instantly attracted to them and worry about personality later.It's really awkward when you meet a guy who's keen when you know you're not and you have to gently let them know you're not interested but also not lead them on.
