The dating thread 66

Seeing as thread 65 is now full.

Nothing to report here. I'm still in almost daily contact with MrK but due to his work was not able to meet this weekend. We're hoping to arrange something for this coming weekend, so fingers crossed. I keep reminding myself that every-other weekend is fine, but it just seems such a long wait in between Sad

Seeing as I'm trying to keep my cool and my plan was only for something casual, I'm still looking for more dates. But there's no-one I like online at the moment [sigh]

I'm seriously losing the will to do this anymore. Why are they all like this?
I don't even fucking flirt or anything

Santaclaws · 30/12/2013 17:34

Kscience yeh I suppose its best I know now. It just destroys your faith every time. He seemed so nice :(

Another one just out for a shag

MasterP0 · 30/12/2013 17:36

DO NOT give up Santa! Not ALL men are like this, I REFUSE TO GIVE UP, THE SEARCH FOR MY KING continues!!! Believe you me I've had my fair share of them! It can really be soul destroying. You've had a lucky escape!

Santaclaws · 30/12/2013 17:37

Another lucky escape!, the third one in four months!!!!,

Santaclaws · 30/12/2013 17:38

I was looking forward to going out as well :(

Santaclaws · 30/12/2013 17:40

I feel quite angry now. How dare he thinks he can ask me out tell me he really likes me, act like he's single, then tell me that!!

MasterP0 · 30/12/2013 17:48

Yep, if I had to tell you the number of lucky escapes I've had this year alone, you'd think there's something wrong with ME! I should be locked up in the Priory with a straight jacket if I let these fuckers get me down.

Let me share:

In March I start dating this guy, go out on a few dates, on the day I decide to dtd with him, we go away for the weekend, he shags me and wakes up and says ".....bla bla bla THERES NO SPARK! I just see a future" (WTF didn't you say this BEFORE I spent my money)

Then there was the guy who dumped me to date the other girl he was seeing at the same time as me because " she was better suited"

Then there was the crazy one ( who I dumped) but he wouldn't hear of it!

Then there was the guy who dated me for 4 months, I did EVERYTHING by "the book" and on what was to be our last day together, postcoital he says, "......I think we should agree to go exclusive...." I think YAY, FINALLY, he disappeared, no phone call, no text, btw he's very much alive!

That's just a snippet, the others I don't care to remember! But I'm still standing........I had a LUCKY ESCAPE WITH ALL OF THESE TOSSERS!

LiesDamnLiesandStatistics · 30/12/2013 18:07

Santa that's shit! I'm so sorry! Still think positive...you can still have a Knobber free new year.

Whilst we're sharing lucky escapes...I had a delightful text this morning - "Can I smash your ass?"
It was followed by a pic of his penis...have been reliably informed this means he loves me Wink

Santaclaws · 30/12/2013 18:13

damnlies that's a classy message. Definately a lucky escape. I feel so low it's unreal. With everything that's happened to me lately I had begun to hope that thing were on the up. Now this! I think I have mug tattooed on my forehead

Santaclaws · 30/12/2013 18:14

master here's to a knobber free new year for you too

OneDayWhenIGrowUp · 30/12/2013 18:16

Santa oh my, where do these people get off. What a ridiculous wanker.

Santaclaws · 30/12/2013 18:18

Yep he certainly is. How he had the nerve when he knows he's going to see me at work I don't know.

SweetSeraphim · 30/12/2013 18:22

Oh I do like you PO

You make me laugh Grin

Santaclaws · 30/12/2013 18:24

Actually thinking about it I think he only told me because he sent me a message saying he hoped I didn't think he just wanted to come to my place for one thing then never see me again. Which I thought was odd in itself and I hadn't invited him to mine I thought we were going out as he originally said. So I said that's ok because I don't like to rush into sleeping with anyone and would prefer to meet on neutral ground to start with. So then he says he "we are watching the watching the same as you on tv" prompting me to ask "whose we?"

He knew he wasn't going to get a easy shag so that was his way out of meeting me

LiesDamnLiesandStatistics · 30/12/2013 18:25

We should have our own singles meet up.

Share horror stories over Wine

Santaclaws · 30/12/2013 18:26

Yes a good idea lies

kscience · 30/12/2013 18:29

Santa he just wanted the latest version in place before jumping ship..... heaven forbid he be....SINGLE

Santaclaws · 30/12/2013 18:33

kscience I do believe you are right. I'm worth more than that

LiesDamnLiesandStatistics · 30/12/2013 18:34

You are Santa. You definitely are.

Santaclaws · 30/12/2013 18:39

Why do I feel so wretched again then? I'm tired of being let down and alone

Santaclaws · 30/12/2013 18:46

Oh ffs he's just text me saying "sorry please give me a chance" 2 hrs after I text saying my rule is not to see anyone still with their wife!,

I've only fucking met him 3 times at work what the hell is wrong with him?.

LiesDamnLiesandStatistics · 30/12/2013 18:48

I feel your pain. I think we all do Santa

Dating is so much harder than I thought it was going to be. Seems to be a never ending cycle of having your hopes raised to end up disappointed again; to fall for the guy who clearly just wants a FB or is married; and as for dumping by silence....very poor form!!!

You have to believe you're worth it or you wouldn't bother to start with. You will someday find the guy that makes you look back and realise that all the crap was worthwhile. Don't be disheartened. Pick yourself up and dust yourself off and smile for the lucky bugger that ends up with you as their prize! Oh and tell the work knobber to knob off!

INeedSomeHelp · 30/12/2013 18:56

I'm sure there are some women who act like this and we just don't hear about it. But I don't understand where these men get their arrogance from. How dare they think that they are so bloody irresistible that they can just do and say what they like, stomp all over people's feelings and still have women falling at their feet. I am outraged on behalf of everyone on this thread who has been treated like this. We all deserve better - and we will find it.

Bant · 30/12/2013 19:01

There are women who dump by silence, those who are creepy and stalkerish, those who are still married but want to meet up because they're bored of their husbands. I've spoken to all of them in the last year of OD.

This is why I'm still single :)
