Broken- you just have to try your best to not take it personally. It is their issue.

Santaclaws · 03/01/2014 14:56

Just keep reminding yourself it wasn't meant to be for a reason. I keep remembering if these men were who I thought they were I wouldn't have been rejected/ hurt/ badly treated by them. They are not for me, there is someone better out there

Broken it isn't you, it's them.
I have quite frankly been used for sex by the last two men I dated.

However, that is not because I am not great. Believe me, the people in my life who know me...my friends, my family, my colleagues, the important people tell me I am. I choose to believe them and not allow the thoughtless actions of a couple of knobbers bother me for longer than a couple of hours at a time. Sure it hurts...we're human, but the pain is what reminds me it will be worth it!
I am sure that you are worth it, that the bumps in the road will propel you faster to your destination and make it so much better when you get there!!

dontcallmehon · 03/01/2014 15:27

It happens to the best of us, broken. It's just that you weren't a match for that person - it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you! You need to believe that yourself though.

Hope you're ok after your nasty experience oneday.

Santa I hope the texts stop and he gets the message.

Geeky is here tonight...yay!

LiesDamnLiesandSoggybiscuits · 03/01/2014 15:48

Have fun with Geeky tonight dontcall

Not in the least bit jealous!!!
Enjoying a bit of attention on POF despite my private photos this afternoon. Gives me a bit more control of the situation, knowing that I'm going to need to initiate contact which I think I need at the moment for my own self esteem!

Poffedoff · 03/01/2014 15:51

Flo great news about number 4..the online thing is a tricky one, on the one hand you were also online so he could be thinking the same as you but on the
other you're wondering is he chatting with other women... think the best way to handle it is try not to overthink it until you've at least met each other, it's very early days yet..

broken I don't think I've ever heard someone so low and negative about dating, I really don't think you should be putting yourself through any more of this heartache until you're better able to cope with the inevitable knockbacks that come with it.. have you ever looked back on these experiences and thought actually, that would never have worked longterm? That's what I'm doing already and it helps. .

Poffedoff · 03/01/2014 15:52

By the way Flo, did you reply to no 5?

Poffedoff · 03/01/2014 16:04

Oh and also, if anyone's familiar with wattsapp do you know if I delete his number off my phone will I still appear on his wattsapp contacts or does he need to delete me too?

FloraSpreadableMacDonald · 03/01/2014 16:08

I just said i was ill in bed with flu. Which is semi true.
Was thinking about profiles....do u think most people lie? The last guy knocked 4 years off his age. It didnt bother me that much. He looked like his pics. Should it have bothered me?
I think the lie that would bother me is marital status. He led me to believe he was divorced and that bothered me.

LiesDamnLiesandSoggybiscuits · 03/01/2014 16:23

With Whatsapp you will still appear in his contacts unless he deletes you. You can block him 'though Poff

FloraSpreadableMacDonald · 03/01/2014 16:26

Go to whattsapp....delete conversation......block contact.....now delete contact in your normal phone list....goback to whatsapp and delete him there....voila!

SweetSeraphim · 03/01/2014 16:30

Have you still not heard from him Poffed Shock

Poffedoff · 03/01/2014 16:41

Ah cheers ladies, christ where would we be without this thread?
No sweet, not heard a thing since my message telling him he's been rumbled...I'm quite glad in a way as really dislike these kind of chats anyhow
but pretty gobsmacked that after 7 months this is how it ends!

Luckily we have people on here like dontcall,people who seem to have found someone genuine and upfront, gives us all hope that they do exist!

Poffedoff · 03/01/2014 16:46

Flo do you think there's a chance you'd be tempted to meet no 5 in the future? If not then a nice text to say you've been on a date, like the guy and don't feel right about meeting others for now?
Not sure that telling him hes orally challenged would be the best route as someone suggested...
having said that I'm a bit of a softie and tend to find myself chatting with guys ALOT longer than I should out of pity!

SweetSeraphim · 03/01/2014 16:49

What a fucking coward!

FloraSpreadableMacDonald · 03/01/2014 17:32

Poff...im a softie too and i reply to all messages ...sad i know. Good idea about letting 5 down. I might do that as i dont see us ever dating....teeth and shoes must be good!
Another dilemma....my ex just picked up kids and im certain he was hinting at possibly trying again! He EA me but deep down i still love him. I need to try and stay focussed. Arggghhh!

Poffedoff · 03/01/2014 17:36

Yep sweet,easy way out for him alright. Our paths will never cross accidentally so I reckon he's taking advantage of that and running for the hills!

FloraSpreadableMacDonald · 03/01/2014 17:38

Poff...i feel for his next victim. You have been very gracious through all this. His loss big time.

FloraSpreadableMacDonald · 03/01/2014 17:40

Regards my ex....im wondering if ive just misread the signs. Its only 6 months since we separated so im still a bit vulnerable. We are actually better friends now than when living together.

powpow80 · 03/01/2014 17:40

Poffed that's so cowardly. You'd think we were dealing with teenagers and not grown adults!

Flora stay strong, you left that relationship for a reason.

MasterP0 · 03/01/2014 17:42

Poff I'm the meanie who said Flo should tell him, hahaha!!!!

Dont , have an orgasm for me hahahaha, SIGH!!!!

Broken IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S THEM!! Positive thoughts, leave all the 2013 shit where it belongs.... In 2013! YOUR HAPPINESS IS IN YOUR HANDS!

Flo EA, can one ever truly recover from that??? When there's history and children involved it's VERY DIFFICULT!

I've been out bargain hunting, received a few messages off Tinder, bleeaauuggghhhh!

I'm chatting to a few ladies on POF, some promising.....I'm enjoying myself.

Poffedoff · 03/01/2014 17:43

Wow Flo, that's a bloody dilemma and a half! How long ago did you split? Was it because of the EA solely or were there other factors involved?

Poffedoff · 03/01/2014 17:45

Feck this thread moves fast! Massive x post!
