Never good enough

Highandlow · 30/08/2019 19:07

l keep meeting men who think I am not good enough for them.I met one guy through OLD who said he was too good looking for. Then I started seeing a guy ( a friend of a friend) who said i wasn't his ideal type then proceeded to compare me to the ex and tell me he didn't like x y z about me. He also kept saying how hot other women were.

This has really got me down as I seem to just be a passing time candidate. Am I being unreasonable that I want a bit of validation from the person I am dating?

I can't seem to keep up with instagram or any latest trends. I never meet men who seem happy with me, but I don't know this at first. Anyone else experienced this.

You are not the only one who feels like this. I seem to be rebound woman for most of the men I have dated over the past few years.

The men you have mentioned seem very rude. You are better off without them. I think you just haven't met the right one yet. Keep dating when you feel ready and don't put up with anymore put downs. You can do better Thanks

Firstly, do you really want to be with anyone that puts you down and compare you to others!?

They may not be right for you just as much as you are not right for them.
Stop trying to be their mate/ friend, never put yourself down and ask about their ex on 1st dates.

May I ask how old you are and if you have had any relationships in the past?

Change your mindset and meet people and enjoy a nice date. Any further is a bonus but feeling must be mutual.

The second one sounds exactly like my ex. It's not you, it's them. You deserve better

Have you heard of negging? You might have been unlucky enough to meet a string of losers who think its a good way to reel you in, if that's the case you've had a series of lucky escapes.
