Dating Saga

 

So...an update on "the date".  He had invited me for an "early" dinner for tonight and I had responded with yes and made a few suggestions for restaurants.  He wrote back that either was ok and that I could choose, 'does 4:00 work for you?"  and that he was looking forward to seeing me again.  I wrote back that 4:00 was a little early for me and that 4:30 or 5:00 would be better as I was cleaning out my garage today and it would give me a little extra time and that I was looking forward to seeing him too.

 

So he wrote back and said he had rethought things and no longer wanted to go out with me, that I was "very sweet" and he wished me the "best in my search".  ????

 

Well, I'm not upset about not going out with him as I think he would be waaay too inflexible to be in my life, but I'm kinda pissed that he wasted my time and that someone would be so uptight and inflexible as to not want to budge to be with me.  His loss I guess. 

 

Yuck, I hate this dating thing, feeling like I'm being assessed.  I feel like they want to check my teeth and hooves!  Now I can't decide whether I want to go the internet route or just find something that interests me that might include men and try that for awhile.

hey

probably he had another woman he was seeing and she came through, so he canceled with you.  I do so hate the "you're sweet" line.  Makes me want to BASH things...;-)

 

Hang in there. I wish I had good things to say about dating on the internet, but a lot of that is false, too. Particularly avoid the E site - they are a major ripoff.  One fellow I met through Lavalife, who was actually a fairly nice guy but overall, not, told me that he'd only met people who were slightly off their rockers online. Needy folks, people with secret pasts, etc.

I'm not sure that's true, but everyone I have met has had something -even the ones I dated and fell in love at.

Still, I remain a hopeful romantic...

You're not alone

 

You're not alone...

love yourself....

and then it won't matter what anyone else's evaluation of you is....Hey, everyone has pasts/secrets/skeletons/demons- it's not about finding someone without them. Love is- "I know you, and I love you anyway!"

 

Thanks for sharing,

What a sad display of a man!

I am sorry for your experience and that a man would give other men a bad name by acting like that.  But on the other hand, be glad that it happened now - if he's acting this way this early on he will only get worse and very manipulating later.

Keep your faith - there are some really outstanding men out there that will value and treat a woman the way it should be.
