Undateable

[Strugglingwithlife99]

I am so low. I have been single since my son's Dad and I split 11 years ago. I had a lot of medical problems after the birth of my son and we moved in with my parents. I have my own lounge bedroom and bathroom. I have chronic fatigue which doesn't help.
This year I decided I wanted to get out there more so tried internet dating. This weekend I met someone I really liked having been pursued by him all week. He came all the way down from London for the day with flowers and chocolates. We had a lovely romantic time then last night and day he's ignored me. I know I've been naive but I thought this time was for real.
I blame my living arrangements, I blame my son and parents for the lack of freedom I have. I am so low now that I don't know what to do. I am on medication for depression but feel the lack of so much in my life the root cause. I would love to walk out the front door and never come back.

Is there any possibility of your own place?

Sadly no, because of the fatigue there are days when I need practical help plus my son is so happy with the way we live. My ex has kept our house until the divorce is finalised. We plan to settle this when son is older. For now its a safe nice home for my son to visit. My parents are great but I feel under their constant scrutiny. When most men I meet know the situation they back off. The bad thing is I want to meet someone, spend the night with them eventually but feel I should be chained to the house. I feel so judged for how I would like to live my life.

I understand you rely on your parents for help, I have my own medical issues and a previous relationship destroyed my confidence, unfortunately due to the climate we live in now internet dating has become very tired and not what it used to be. When you go on a date and it seems so perfect you get your hopes up and can then be very easily deflated but don't give up hope, my advice and it's not probably the best try and keep some things private to yourself he doesn't need to know everything about you in the first meet and greet and if he does see potential things will progress but please sometimes holding things back can be better, I am not saying I'm right in this matter x

I'm not sure why you would blame your living arrangements.
Anyone who pursues you, comes and spends a lovely evening with you and then ignores you is nothing more than a socially inadequate prat. Even if he decided you and he weren't suited, it would cost him nothing to send you an email saying he'd had a lovely time but he didn't feel quite right.
Instead he's ignoring you
You sound lovely, he sounds like an arse, you deserve someone much nicer.
