at some of the attitudes on this thread. I hope those people never find themselves single and OD'ing because they are in for a very rude awakening!
The reality is that MOST men (not all, there are a few decent exceptions, but not many!) who do OD are basically the ones who are too boring, unattractive, unpleasant, lacking in personality or have too many red flag issues to meet or indeed keep a woman any other way. You have to wade through hundreds, if not thousands of these men to meet a decent one. It is depressing and disheartening, especially when you have been doing it for months if not years.
And so, when you meet someone who seems nice, and normal (which qualities are bloody rare in OD terms) you think great. And you go on a date or two, you think it's going fine then all of a sudden, out of the blue they drop you like a stone.
Years ago when in my early 20s ago I met a bloke in a pub. We dated for a few weeks, slept together and he vanished. Never saw him or heard from him again. All my friends were astonished, no-one had ever heard of anything like that. People were suggesting I call the hospital because he might have been injured, so shocked were they he would just disappear.
But nowadays, in OD, this is somehow acceptable, and par for the course. I have lost count of the number of times this has happened to women I know, and to me. Doesn't matter what age you are, if you have DC or not, OD allows men to behave in this entitled manner, dating, shagging and then not even being polite enough to say 'sorry it's not for me' or make up an excuse or whatever. It's rude, entitled and shows no manners.
And OP, you won't have done anything wrong. It won't be the way you had sex , or that you didn't see him often enough, or that you saw him too much, or that you didn't text often enough, or that you text him too little. Because even if you had done any of those things, if he was still a decent, nice, normal, polite bloke, he would have sent a polite text somehow excusing himself.
However he chose to be a coward and just drop you. And that makes it abundantly clear the fault is with him.
And for the record, it is possible to go YEARS of OD without success, and without it being your fault, simply due to the crappy pool of men you are fishing from. I started OD'ing over 4 years ago. It took me 4 years to get so much as a second date, not because I was turning them all down, or because I was 'wrong' but because EVERY man I met wasn't interested. They'd say they were, go on a date, and never see them again. The reality is that most weren't looking for more than a date and a shag, and the ones who were wanted a woman who wasn't any kind of threat to them (in terms of looks, wealth etc) as evidenced by the relationships they are now in. Unfortunately if you are above average in looks, and are independent, a lot of men find that scary and go for ones who are a bit less of a challenge...
I'll wait now to be told I think too much of myself and that's why I can't get a man ;)
