I have been considering contacting an old match who I never closed (and who never closed me, and whose profile is still up), just to give it another try. I last talked to him about six months ago, and we had both had a great time talking on our one date but didn't feel the right (or right amount of) chemistry.
I feel like we were matched up really well, and I worry that the so-called lack of chemistry might have been because I was really nervous; it was my first eHarmony date.
So...should I???
No, you should not!! Don't fall for this trap.
The guy should accept you for who you are - nervous or not. If you two truely respected and liked eachother, you two would overlook the nervousness and understand that being nervous is just part of dating.
He didn't reject you because you were nervous. He just was not that into you, so why try to go back to someone who was obnly marginally interested in you.
Its just easy to think it was nervousness that turn him away. I doubt it was. You could have been on your best behavior and still got rejected because there was just something that turned him away.
I have had lots of dates where I was at my best, but still got rejected.
Move on. There are plenty more where he came from.
