Can anyone be this nice?

Very early days with new man. He's just so nice! Like no red flags. No mental behaviour. Wants to see me. No inconsistency. Is anyone that nice?!?

  1. Very early days, on best behaviour.
  2. Many (most) people are decent. You hear more about the heartbreaks but there are decent people out there.

Good luck!

I just don't get that feeling of omg you're a knobhead but we haven't had sex yet so he might disappear after that lol

Of course plenty of people are nice. It's sad that it seems surprising.

Majoritycustody · 16/12/2021 21:27

When it comes to men it's very surprising lol

Yes, he has been for 5 years!

EssexLioness · 17/12/2021 00:26

Of course they can. There are lots of lovely genuine men out there. However, I also agree that it is very early days and most people tend to start off on their best behaviour. You wouldn’t necessarily pick up on anything

Changemaname1 · 17/12/2021 00:30

Yes I know quite a few very nice men unfortunatley they are all married and I often end up dating absolute toads hahaha but yes they exist ,

Fingers crossed for you OP

Majoritycustody · 17/12/2021 11:26

It's like he's too nice!

Give him a chance! There are definitely nice, decent men out there.

@Majoritycustody

It's like he's too nice!
Only because you clearly have a track record of dating dicks. You sound like my best friend. She just couldn't understand that he wasn't playing games, that he said what meant, that he was literally what you saw. She was so used to game playing, manipulating her with words, always got an agenda. She's married with two kids now, happily
iklboodolphrednosedpaindear · 17/12/2021 11:34

Yes. Has been for 22 years.

Fallagain · 17/12/2021 11:35

What is he doing which is too nice? He is love bombing or do you have low expectations?

TheDogsMother · 17/12/2021 11:41

I met one like that. It seemed to good to be true. He is still that lovely 14 years on.

hidinginquote · 17/12/2021 11:44

I had these feelings after meeting someone after my ex husband and I separated and so far it's been 3 years and he's just as nice and wonderful! It took me a long time of questioning whether everything he did had an ulterior motive, but he's not so far done me wrong, he's a rare breed!

Pheebs2021 · 17/12/2021 12:35

They are definitely rare but they do exist. My DH has been for the last decade. I've experienced a lot of men and women becoming not that nice as they've been treated so appalling they've given up on nice.

Mybalconyiscracking · 17/12/2021 12:43

Apart from a little grumpiness my DH has been nice for 22 years.

Majoritycustody · 17/12/2021 20:13

I've been love bombed before. I have low expectations really. Men tend to be crap to me lol

OP posts:
PilatesPeach · 17/12/2021 20:15

ooh OP I have too. No sex yet just 2 dates and 2 or 3 coffees. He is very nice. Not love bombing me but consistent about contact and genuinely seems to love seeing me even if just for a coffee. Good luck to you.

Majoritycustody · 17/12/2021 22:02

We're on date 4. Im thinking sex might be on the cards Blush

OP posts:
Majoritycustody · 20/12/2021 17:48

Still nice! Even after sex Blush

BarefootHippieChick · 20/12/2021 17:56

Sounds like a keeper OP 😁

Inthesameboatatmo · 20/12/2021 18:01

Aww good luck op ,he sounds decent .

Majoritycustody · 20/12/2021 18:22

Blush I realise alot of women are conditioned to accept low standards which is sad

OP posts:
OrlandointheWilderness · 20/12/2021 18:29

I'm 6 months in. Still wonderful. No game playing, no controlling, no love bombing, no moods. Just straightforward, honest and decent.

Majoritycustody · 05/01/2022 10:52

Still normal. No red flags.
