Single mum of 3. Been single for about 6 years. So thought i’d give dating app a go after a lot of pressure from friends and family. I tell you, it’s a bloody jungle on those dating apps! The quality of men out there, ridiculous! maybe my expectations were just so high. I haven’t been in a relationship in over 15 years so maybe my understanding of relationships in these times is completely different.
I matched with this guy. He’s not someone i would typically go for but agreed to meet up with him. Again, no immediate sparks but did enjoy his company, nice guy and very family oriented which i liked. I asked him out about a week after our first date but he had family commitments, single dad as well. After that we caught up over chat and i brought it up again, didn't hear anything from him. For 2 weeks, nothing, he then finally came back and said he was in a relationship for those weeks which he thought he could invest his energy in but now he’s not sure and thought he needed another week to figure out what he wants to do and then apologised.
To be fair i wasn't sure whether he wanted me still hang in there, i wouldn’t!, or just eff off, but i blocked him as the thought of me being told essentially that I'm a second option wasn't great. Maybe i would have preferred to be given a different reason or maybe not used the words “invest my energy”.
Not sure why I'm even posting this, i guess i just wanted to rant!
