You're not just a nice guy. It sounds like you are a bit submissive and a bit desperate. I used to act this way too. Now I'm just polite, without being desperate. It's fine if my date and I don't have enough in common, there are other women out there desperate for a guy with a steady job. Now I'm more dominant. I say what I want right from the start, and I get what I want. That means, no one that is not compatible with me responds to my online dating profile, so that weeds out the people who will waste my time. I have to tell you, I'm a lot happier now and the women LOVE when I'm dominant in bed. I take what I want, but also make sure they are happy too. Being dominant, and being disrespectful are 2 different things and I think many guys don't know the difference.
That said, you can be polite without being a doormat.
