Long time lurker...short time internet dater (waster?!) feeling a bit jaded and need you lovely people to give me a pep talk (if you don't mind)...my profile 45, 18 months single, 1 child, on matchaffinity. Lots of nice chats and profiles & have been trying to apply Onlinedatingqueen's rules.
Met one guy I liked but he was just out of long marriage so bailed on the second date
but understandable...back on again get messaging a flirt but no meet type
...back on again strike up online/texts with nice guy all seems promising, date arranged...text two hours before saying really sorry have to work at last minute.
Now I'll give anyone the benefit of the doubt (once!) so say what a pain for you, shall we rearrange? Get lovely message saying really sorry again, yes let's do that, give me another chance. Ok, I say...and then never hear from him again
...Now what is that all about, eh?
I know that they don't owe me anything, and vice versa, and I'll just shrug and move on...but I just don't get it...Why waste all that time if you've no intention of meeting someone, I just can't get my head around what's in it for them?
Am I missing something? Any words from the wise?
From the sofa, slanket on order...
