Now I know that, don’t add someone on FB until you know them well… However, I wanted to see what he looked like better, before going on a date. When he added me on FB I looked through a couple of pictures just to get an idea. Bad move, and won’t do it again.
I was going on a first date on wednesday with the guy I posted here earlier from Tinder, but I cancelled. Dude started behaving really weird. First he texted me to confirm place and time with some serious spelling mistakes. He had never texted like that. Then he told me he had an appointment for a class at my old box. When I mentioned I don’t go there anymore he was surprised… I told him that when we first started talking.
Then he texted me a pic from the box, which featured my ex boyfriend front and center. (I added him on Facebook two weeks ago and he saw all my pics, including old ones with my ex. He then proceeded to ask me if I had a boyfriend. I told him no and he kept asking about it).
When he texted the pic I told him well, that’s my ex right there. I’m sure that’s what he wanted to hear. Then he told me “well, your ex is a dick”. He used a much harsher word but I dont’ know how to translate it. I let it slide and asked how was the class. He proceeded to tell me how shitty my box was and how he had hated it. So I told him that I didn’t want to go out. He kind of begged and just ended up blocking him. Weird dude.On the days I was on Tinder I talked to a guy that seemed really impressed I had a job where I work, because it’s with the government and it’s not that easy to work here and has lots of benefits. So there were some questions like “who helped you get this job?”. Well, nobody, I got it myself…
So, yeah there are insecure men all around. I hate those kind of comments.@Copa DON’T TAKE IT PERSONALLY.
“what was so terrible about me that they just disappeared”
Most likely it had nothing to do with you, but with them. Don’t think it’s your fault.@Copa Well, you’re right, that’s a good approach. Good luck! And please update!
I remember before I started dating my ex I had been single for three years. I was so happy single that whoever came to my life had to be really amazing and I made my ex wait a long time so I knew it was serious. I didn’t want to let go of my singlehood. And now I’m trying to remember those days, what I did, why I was so happy. I have a lot of thoughts in my mind, some days it makes me happy to get home and not have to cook dinner for someone and some days that’s what makes me sad.
Yeah, I feel the same, it’s weird. Like I’m happy my sister found someone so good for her, but then again she married at 25, something I would have never done. So, it’s weird.
@Copa, some advice though. Try to do something before your date aimed to change your mood, maybe. Try not to go to this date that you are so hopeful about, feeling meh.I haven’t learned to use the quote feature haha.
@Copa, I think getting a dog is great! And it also opens up some possibilites, like dog parks. I met my first longtime BF while walking my dog. Just remember when you’re down, being single is awesome and it comes with a lot of benefits.
I was tossing and turning last night thinking about spending the rest of my life alone, going on meh first dates or having short-lived relationships that get my hopes up, and generally remaining, well, lonely. :-/ But, onto the next I suppose!
I feel the same way and I have been single for only two months. I visited my sister last Sunday and we went to buy plants for her house and seeing her with her husband making decisions about decorating made me think that I’ll never have that, I though I was close but the it ended. And I got sad.
But then again, there are some serious perks about being single that I had forgotten about that made me feel happier. For instance, yesterday I went out with some coworkers and one of them is really into me. It kind of made me feel happy to think that if I had wanted to sleep with him yesterday I could have. I didn’t though, because I learned my lesson and I won’t date or sleep with a coworker never again. But just the thought of having all of these possibilities open up made me feel better.“since I’m now pretty adamant about making sure the first meeting can be quick”
That is pretty good advice, I told that to a friend of mine yesterday and he found it very useful.@Veritek he was so ridiculous I actually find it funny. Can you believe a 40 year old behaving like that? You dodged a bullet, or more like you dodged a cannonball.
@hfantods yeah, we never met. It was an amazing coincidence (for me) but apparently he didn’t see me at the restaurant and it wasn’t so amazing for him. Last time I checked he was not on Tinder anymore. I also uninstalled it after very much thought decided that I don’t want to date, I’m not ready.
I really liked that WW is a badass but the acting really threw me off. I went to see it expecting it to be worse though. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen her in other movies and didn’t like her. I watched Keeping up with the Joneses that has Gal Gadot and John Hamm, and fell asleep in the middle of it. Hated the acting. She is stunning though and very adorable so I guess that makes up for the acting part.
