Possible date

[pinkpixie83]

I have no idea what to do, I have been asked out by a man on Sunday. He's made it very clear he likes me, although from photos as it's online dating. I'll give him credit we have been talking for a month, frequently by text. But from his photos I don't think I find him attractive.
I don't know whether to go Sunday and see or just cease contact.
I wonder if we've just been texting because it's company for each other?
I'm really not very good at this online dating.
WWYD?

@PinkPixie83 maybe have a break but don't give up, it takes a lot of frogs

You deserve some happiness, it just takes a while to find that someone you can share it with xx

I'm not even meeting the frogs tho. Clearly there is something about me that doesn't work with online and it's just beginning to make me feel like I'm not good enough.

You can talk to someone online for too long. If you have been texting for a month, it can fizzle out. You just can’t sustain the momentum. Meet them within a week or so and no daily texts.

Definitely don’t meet him, for your own safety. Anyone who won’t give a number out there’s something going on with. And the fact that he’s now gone quiet raises red flags to me.

I’ve internet dated. I would give a friend their name, phone number and any details I had about work, the area they lived etc for my own safety.

Sorry, the excuse it’s a work phone is rubbish. He’s married or in a relationship. Dodged a bullet!

You have to kiss a lot of frogs on the internet to find your prince. Good luck.

Oh and I met my wounderful husband to be on the internet (who insisted we speak before we meet) so it’s worth preserving! I could go on for hours about the nut jobs I met!!!!

Well after convincing me the date was a good idea i appear to have been blocked anyway.

What do I do wrong

I wouldn’t waste any energy wondering about someone that I was not that bothered about. You were trying to persuade yourself to go because you haven’t had many dates - not because you were that into him. Maybe he knew you were hesitating - I don’t know it’s impossible to say. I do know though that I wouldn’t go to meet someone without speaking to them on the phone first. You can get a great sense of their character and personality of someone that way. Perhaps you’re under selling yourself in your adds or the guys you’ve been encountering have just been after no strings fun.

He's blocked because he found someone else to try and fool...rather than tell you he cowardly blocks so no conversation can take place - ghosting if you like...

He's saved you a job sweet!

And i hate to say it from your posts but, thank yourself lucky you didn't go on a date with that absolute coward

Thing is, you haven't done ANYTHING wrong, so although I know how hard it is, please don't waste your precious time giving him or reasons any head space

He's done you the favour x

You’ve had a lucky escape. OLD, is like a sweet shop for the wrong people, he’s found an easier target, put it down to experience

Doesn't stop the fact that it hurts. Someone I didn't even feel that positive about can block me. I have no other conversations going and stupid as it sounds I'm sick of being on my own.
Three first dates since September last year there is clearly something wrong with me.

I have no idea why that posted twice.... Weird?!?

Pinkpixie83, are you on the dating thread? If so and you feel comfortable with sharing, you could have some of the guys check out your OLD profile and suggest any tweaks? Sometimes lack of success can all come down to profile

@Dan89 I was on the previous dating thread.

I haven't posted on the latest one. I think my lack of success is just down to being me if I'm honest.

I have to be honest, I've felt the same way. I'm taking OLD very slowly and trying to achieve small wins step by step. I have been single for 4.5 years. I know my low self-confidence plays a big part in that.
