That's sad news, jarlin.

Hormonal I think it's always so much more complicated with kids involved and exes - I know only too well!

Married man still messaging on fb 'are you single now? Xx' Er - yes, but you're not! Even if you were, I still wouldn't be interested!

TalisaMaegyr · 07/04/2014 22:37

You've still not heard anything Scarey?? It's a bit weird for him to go suddenly silent if you have a key to his house Confused

Hormonalhell · 07/04/2014 22:52

Jarlin oh no that's very sad Hmm poor SB

He'll probably get in touch at some point Scarey, if only to ask for his key back. It seems very strange though.

It's very unfair Scarey n I bet you've already lost a bit of respect for him which cannot be replaced. I know I would feel that way if it was me Hmm

Wow, Scarey, I can't believe he still hasn't got in touch. Maybe he's having the 3 month freak out but this is totally unacceptable behaviour. I feel for you, it's such an unfair way to treat you. When he does get in touch definitely take your time over how you want to respond.

Dont that married man is unbelievable. Are there any nice guys out there???

I wouldn't leave it Scarey,you deserve more than that! If he's bowing out of the relationship then he's a gutless piece of shit doing it this way and I would make him speak! But maybe I'm being bit OTT Hmm

dontcallmehon22 · 08/04/2014 11:10

Scarey that's awful if there's no explanation/contact. I'd be fuming.

Yes married man has also tried it on with my friend. His poor wife. Feel like copying his messages and sending them to her!

LittleBlueMouse · 08/04/2014 11:41

Scarey that must feel awful but try no to assume its anything you have done. Sometimes men seem to do that backing off thing early on, and then come round again. Or there could be a perfectly reasonable explanation. I would just send bright and breezy text and end by saying you hope he is ok and speak soon. Its so hard though trying to second guess these bloody men, and that's what we have to do when they fail to communicate.

Dont, that married man sounds like a prick. I might be inclined to show his wife the messages. Put paid to his games. She will find out eventually anyway.

I am seeing Mr Contradiction today and things seem to have shifted between us in a good way, but still have my feet firmly planted.

dontcallmehon22 · 08/04/2014 12:43

Married man can feck off. He's asked me if I'm looking for a relationship or fun now. The sleazy bastard.

dontcallmehon22 · 08/04/2014 12:45

Chatting to exact geeky clone on tinder. It'd be like the episode of friends when Rachel dates Russ who looks like Ross. He's blunt and very sarcastic. I like him.

Dont, that is brilliant.

Shellwedance · 08/04/2014 17:44

Love it, Dont, you're really writing quickly!

Scarey, what an idiot this guy is. Sounds like he's having a freak out but you don't need that in your life. At the very least he should have been in touch to say he needed some space!

Meant to be seeing my guy tonight. Haven't heard from him all day and just got a one line response to a link I sent him with no mention of tonight. Have no idea what to do. We discussed it yesterday and I'm sure he thinks it's fine but I can't stand this low level text stuff, think it just shows lack of interest.

Hello...newbie to this thread

So I have been tindering and meeting/speaking to some really nice guys. One asked me on a date at a really nice restaurant, but then cancelled because he had to go away with work. He then got in touch and said he is coming back (flying) and did I want to join him for a late supper at his, or as he put it 'would that be inappropriate'...

He's looking for a hook-up isn't he...? I mean, a hook up without even an actual date, just basically bed? Is there any way I am misreading this?
