I spoke to the guy for about a week on txt and phone. I was crude on one occasion and at other times disinterested and unsure of what I wanted. He called himself a sexpest as a term of endearment...

I did say no lots but kept being "persuaded" through him "cheekily" asking for a kiss etc. It's difficult to explain.

I was crying at the beginning of the evening so he knew I wasn't on top forms. I was saying I want to kill myself and my kids. I wouldn't really. He spoke nicely at times and we laughed and joked about things.

It was my fault. Next time i

It wasn't your fault. You said no. Your body language said no. It was rape. I'm sorry this has happened to you. Would you consider reporting him?

A lot of guys use tinder just for sex. I was on tinder when it first started and found that straight away the guys are so forward. The whole tone is different to if you had met them out. Even on a Sunday morning I'd get messages asking if I wanted to go over for a 'cuddle'... These are guys I've never met!

I totally understand how easy it is to get carried away with it all and then doing something you didn't want to do. I have quite a few friends that have been in similar situations.

Please don't beat yourself up over it. You are emotionally vulnerable right now and tinder is not going to help.

Do you have any friends you can talk to?

MrsGB2225 · 04/02/2017 16:41

Sorry I just read your last posts... This guy sounds like a massive sex pest. It is very rapey that he wanted sex when you clearly weren't in the right frame of mind.
Is there a report button on tinder now?

I think way more worrying that this Tinder crap is the way you are feeling - even though you say you wouldn't hurt yourself or kids, it is a pretty extreme place to be if you even articulate a thought like that. About yourself I can understand, but to feel like that, even for a split second, about your kids, must mean you really were feeling utterly despairing. I really think you need some better help with this - obviously the hot water bottle from Tinder made things worse rather than better - so go to the doctor and ask for some counselling. Go and cry at the doctor's and let her/him help you to get some proper support through what is clearly a truly awful time for you. You need more and better help than whatever you have around you now - please do it. I'm sure they'll at least get someone you can talk with, and/or someone to help provide a buffer between you and the ex. I'm sorry because you sound like you feel very got-at. You need a few kind and strong people to do what they can to get you through this. I think. Please do it. Just try it.

He knew I didn't want to
. I'm so sorry, op, but That sounds like
rape to me.

blows nose and brushes self down

I've found Tinder an awful place to be.
A few nice experiences - I've been quite naughty and hooked men on me and then used them as friends and they haven't got anything like they were expecting out of me :)

My mistake here was allowing him to meet me in a private place = it was really really stupid. I know that. I don't really need to be told again, but can understand if anyone is thinking "duh. what did you expect to happen?"

When life is such a struggle I can ocassionally have suicide as a go-to option. The feelings passes - I'm sure there are others like me. It's just a feeling and expression of utter hopelessness and not being able to see a way out. And the mention of kids, well, who would look after them when I'm gone? This is all theory. I'm not any danger at all to my lovely happy children.

I feel a bit fresher now.

I feel I can breathe again after scrapping Tinder of my phone. Joining it is symptomatic of my struggles.

I'm happy to take full responsibility for myself yesyerday. At midnight, he called a Uber taxi via phone. That goodnight kiss - that I was not wanting, but happy to provide was where the mistake was. I had had one glass of wine that evening so may have been a bit dreamy and nonchalant about it.

"oh the taxi wil be here too soon. five minutes more... ill call it in a minute"
Me: no just call it now...
etc etc... it just deteriorated from there. he pulled me on to him and I was thinking in my head "shit. ugh. didnt want this. wtf".
Kept making noises about a taxi.... then it was all too late.

there's nothing to report apart from the fact he was too persuasive in a nice friendly way. if it was a more blunt approach I would hav been more wary.

I told a friend but not much time to speak.
she said dont put yourself in that position.

if i dont return to this thread: THANK YOU!!!!!!

Relenting to coercion isn't consenting op.

Sex by coercion is rape. I know you don't want to think that it is, but it is. When you give in to stop the pestering, after your initial (and subsequent) no's are ignored, it very much does start to look like rape. Especially as he KNEW you didn't want it.

IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT. He clearly took advantage of your vulnerable state. This is NOT a nice man!

Any one saying "what did you expect" is not worth listening to. Inviting him into your home was never an invitation for him to have sex with you. His stalling over the taxi shows he was not going to leave until what he felt he had come to your house for. he was determined to get sex, and did just that! He didn't care about you, or your state of mind.

differentnameforthis · 05/02/2017 04:16

Opps, messed up...

His stalling over the taxi shows he was not going to leave until he got what he felt he had come to your house for, and that was sex

Tinder is somewhere you have to be harsh. Remember even if you flirt and things get steamy you do not.owe them anything.

I've met a few nice men on tinder and not.not . slept with one of them. It's all a matter of.self esteem
.if.you don't have any just yet avoid dating apps full stop. Reconnect with freinds have fun with them and gain confidence back. Then when you go back. If things get out of hand block and move on x

HowamIgoingtocope · 05/02/2017 04:33

Op.it's rape. Simple as if you told him no . Report him.
