I think he does probably want to be just friends, I would imagine he is lonely. He got very involved and infatuated very early on. I think he just wanted someone to live him. He said I had changed his life and it was a bit alarming for me. But as he wasn't demanding or pushy in any way I wasn't too concerned. I ended up falling for him. I don't know what went wrong really but it's best left in the past. I do wish him well though

master I think some people just have more insight than others and know their own minds better

MasterP0 · 13/01/2014 20:20

Stranger the difference is that you acknowledged that and walked away! That takes maturity, which clearly most don't have!

Girlie ".....maybe he wants to just be friends....." HA! Unless Santa is short of friends, then by all means, why would anyone want to stay friends with people who treat them badly?? I love to surround myself with positive loving caring souls. Anyway that's just me, I just don't have time for fools.

master I agree it's totally pointless staying friends, I don't intend to, I'm moving on. I do think that was his intention though

Poffedoff · 13/01/2014 20:49

"masterI think some people just have more insight than others and know their own minds better"

I think that's bang on Santa...I for one am never able to see things in black and white...it can take me ages to come around to a decision or even an opinion on some things...tend to need to talk it out, get other's opinions etc before I see things clearly.. I wouldn't just assume all these men/women are malicious mind fuckers!

Poffedoff · 13/01/2014 20:53

Girlie its a progesterone only pill...don't worry though, I got these bi monthly bleeds before which 8s why I got the coil in the first place..gp thought the pill would work for me too but it seens not...never thought id hear myself say this but....roll on the menopause!

MasterP0 · 13/01/2014 20:55

Poff I'm not saying that they ALL are, otherwise I have no business dating if I thought ALL men were dogs. I'm referring to the ones that WE speak about who have acted badly. But I appreciate that others don't see things as black and white as I do, I REALLY REALLY wish they could!

Flipper934 · 13/01/2014 20:59

I don't have a problem with staying in touch with men I've dated through OD. People make mistakes, and don't always cope well with breaking up, but if you've known them a while and they seem decent otherwise, there's no harm in keeping in contact. People can be lovely and still not be 'the one'.

Poffedoff · 13/01/2014 21:11

I agree Master, it would be wonderful if everyone had a 100 percent clear idea of what they wanted or what their capabilities for dating and relationships were BEFORE they started down the dating path but that's just unrealistic to expect... I said all "these" men/women meaning that some of the disappearers and flakes are not necessarily malicious mind fuckers, wasn't referring to mankind in general!

MasterP0 · 13/01/2014 21:12

Flipper I've stayed in touch with ONE ex who I met OD (you all know him as The Love of My life), the ONLY reason I have, is that this guy has ALWAYS been honest and up front with me, has never just disappeared after a fight/argument, we sit and talk things through, if he can't or I can't one of us asks for time out, we COMMUNICATE like adults. When he wants to tell me off he says it in a kind tactful manner. He is ALWAYS kind and thoughtful and without a shadow of a doubt I know he loves me, he's just scared shirtless of committing! Now THATS someone I don't mind staying friends with. All the others NO THANKS!

I don't tend to stay in touch with men I've dated - but every situation is different, I suppose. I'd probably agree it's best left in the past, santa
I'm so excited!I just ordered this for Paris:

MasterP0 · 13/01/2014 21:28

OP posts:
dontcallmehon · 13/01/2014 21:31

I think I'll wear black tights. I've got a little crochet silver short cardigan thingy that might work. And shiny black heels.

dontcallmehon · 13/01/2014 21:32

Oh and my purple clutch that geeky got me for christmas will add a bit of colour.

MasterP0 · 13/01/2014 21:35
