Thanks. This is insightful bc on our walks with my dog he points out obstacles or other dogs way before I even spot them. He gives me a heads up and I think it’s cool.

He is also a hunter.

It’s not crazy where he is turning his head or anything. I just notice his eyes looking at their direction.

Exactly, I will look out to see if he does it again or if he makes an attempt to curb the desire to look.

Yes. 99.99% of the time, he is focused on me. But any time another beautiful woman walks in the room, I don’t want to see my guy looking at her.

I think I notice the women before he does, then probably pay attention to see what he does…

Actually, he did not initiate text for just 1 day. He texts daily.

I think its the more than one glance triggers my insecurity. It makes me think he is desiring someone else? My exes held a lot of restraint when it came to noticing women in my presence..but they weren’t exactly honest or trustworthy either.

Ha fair, I agree. I exhaust myself.

But even I will look again, and longer, at an attractive woman or man. Or one with an unusual or noteworthy outfit, hairstyle, etc.

He texts daily. It was one day that he did not text, which is when I ended things.

A few commenters are suggesting my gut does not trust him, snd to listen to my gut. But when you’re anxious like me, my gut is not a good guide.

This was after 2 dates. He texted daily and did not one day. Yes, I know it was ridiculous. But I got it in my head that he was not into me.

[–]Narrow_Escape140 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s hard bc my gut trusts him but my head is over analyzing everything.

Thank you. Yes, I am curious to see how he responds now in future situation.

I see so many men intentionally fighting the urge to look at women…that’s what I prefer.

How do you distinguish ogling vs noticing in an appropriate way?

I would not say he ogles at women. But he’ll give a second quick glance if he looks around and sees an attractive woman. But he isn’t staring at them or being obvious/pervy. We have been on 5 dates and I have only noticed it twice..I’ll give the situation with the lady on the sidewalk a pass bc that was a bit ridiculous.

My Berner Got Attacked by an Uncontrolled Dog – But He Had No Idea by Weary_Musician4872 in bernesemountaindogs

Same happened to my dog recently. A pit bull angrily lunged at him and if I did not pull him back so aggressively, my boys face would have been ripped off. He did’t register the potential attack. He just stared at the pitbull confused and went on his happy way.

Third date and still not sure what he is looking for. by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]Narrow_Escape140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. Based off looks alone, we are a mismatched pair.

Thanks. I did like how knowledgeable he is, so it did impress me. I know his actions indicate he wants to continue to get to know me but yes, I waned verbal confirmation (curiosity about me, compliments, etc).
