I met a girl through an online dating site. We talked online for about a week and talked on the phone a couple times. So today we met at a restaurant for dinner. I'm 25 years old and have really only had one girlfriend, and that only lasted 3 weeks.

The "date" went ok, I've been on others that I felt were better. Basically I just don't know if I want to pursue a relationship with this girl. She talks a lot (which is good since I'm shy) but I think she might talk a little too much. And she lives an hour away from me, so that's not ideal either.

So on one hand I don't really want to see her again just cause I didn't feel that instant "click" between us. And a big part of it is she lives an hour away.
But I also realize I don't meet many girls and my opportunities are limited, so I'm afraid if I don't pursue a relationship I might regret it later.

Basically I had a good time, but unlike other dates I've been on, I'm not dying to talk to her or see her again.

Anyone else ever felt like this?

I've never been in that position, because I've never dated anyone before. If you don't feel chemistry with this girl, I don't think you should pursue a relationship. Do what makes YOU happy...that's most important. If you continue to "date" her, you may lead her on, and then it will be even more difficult to part ways.
 
You should go with what your heart says, dont just be in a relasionship for the sake of it, that never works.x

Give yourself and the girl a chance... try to see her as a potential friend first than a potential girlfriend. And as you get to know her better, that would be the appropriate time to think if you really have "chemistry". And if you don't really "feel" her. Then move one, atleast you became friends.

I'm reminded of this song

He means tomorrow but says "In a bit"
and doesn't show up at all
he sets his watch to a comet's orbit
remembers to forget to call

No courage for love - too scared to be happy
No courage for love - too scared to be happy

I do... do
I do... do

"Your place or mine?" means "Heaven or hell?"
two addresses somewhat apart
his home's dark and spiky, her's clear as a bell
it's over before they can start

No courage for love - too scared to be happy
No courage for love - too scared to be happy

I do.... don't
I do.... don't

And tomorrow passed them by
 
This reminds me of a predicament I got myself into about a year ago...there was this girl that I would talk to online all the time. i saw her only as a friend. Then it turned out she liked me and wanted me to be her boyfriend. I didn't really want to but I decided to say yes just to give her a chance, well as the weeks passed I for whatever reason grew a disliking for this girl, but was to scared to dump her, it turned out that she fell in love with me and thought I was "the one"... Finally I broke up with her and she said that she was going to see a therapist to make sure that she didn't do something irrational like kill herself..

So, in short, don't wait and see, if you don't want to see her again, just break it off because the sooner, the less painful it is for her

The longest and most serious relationship that I ever had only began because I decided to "give the guy a chance".

Sparks and chemistry aren't always an instant thing. Sometimes they develop over time as you get to know the person better.

My suggestion would be to just begin a casual friendship with her. (Of course only if you want to!) And then see where things lead. Make sure you tell her what your intentions are (that you would just like to be friends for now, but are not sure about the future) so that you do not string her along. Hope this helped a little!
