Online dating

[Coffeegrain]

So, I dipped my toes last year into online dating. Met someone I could have easily fallen for. We slept with each other and incident hear from him. I left it.
Recently he got back in touch, the same happened. He knew I was looking for LTR relationship but he's told me today isn't.
Although I think he is, just not with me.
I wish he hasn't got back in touch.
I feel rubbish now although we've left it on good terms. Men seem so much more robust. I feel used. Tell me, there are some nice ones out there aren't there? Although I though he was Nice, so quite difficult to deal with rejection...
Not sure what im wanting really, maybe a hand hold?

You have to sift through a few arseholes like this one to get to the nice ones. There are nice ones. You just have to find the one who's right for you and you will. Eventually 😉

Don't let this put you off or lose confidence over it. If you want a serious relationship don't have sex with someone until they have proven they like you a lot and see you as a potentially serious option for them.

I just don't think I'm cut out for it. Yes I made the mistake of getting physical too soon. I met him at a vulnerable time. I guess it is all experience, I feel a fool though.

I had three dates via OLD:

Number 1) He was nice enough, we got on well and probably DTD after date 5 or 6. I ended it though when he started showing me photos of his Ex in sexy lingerie. It was very odd.

2. A total disaster. I didn't see him again the first date.

3. We are now married.

There are lots of strange people out there but don't give up.

I once had a man message me and ask if he could wrap me up in tin foil and have sex with me as he had a fetish for robots

You're not a fool!!! Most of us have done similar. This man was a dick but there are nice ones out there. I would consider building confidence before dating again. What would make you feel better about yourself?

When you are ready to dip your toe back in, realise that you have to kiss a few frogs before you meet the right person. Don't take things personally and go easy on yourself

OMG robot fetish!!

coffee you haven't done anything wrong. This man just wasn't as nice as he seemed. Sounds like he's trying for another shag with you. Can you block him?

To be fair, yes that's what he was looking for and he was quite upfront about it. Problem being I really like him. He was honest and recognised it wasn't fair on me and we've left it on good terms. But it feels like I wasn't good enough.
