Should I keep dating someone if I don't feel a spark?

I’m starting to wonder if I’m too picky when it comes to dating. I recently went on a third date with someone who is genuinely kind and stable, but I just don’t feel that spark or excitement when we’re together.

I’ve been there. On a third date with someone genuinely kind and stable, I felt nothing electric. It stung because I wanted a spark, but I learned that steady, thoughtful chemistry matters just as much as excitement.

I kept dating reliable people and ended a few dates when the vibe didn’t click, even though they checked all the boxes.

I started a tiny log: would I text them to set up another date without overthinking it? If the answer was no, I paused.

Could it be you’re misreading what you want and chasing a feeling you think you should feel?
