Feeling embarrassed.

Following on from my previous thread..

I had got asked on a date etc and was pursued by this ex-coworker of mine.. only for him to turn round today and completely blow me off by spinning excuses after excuses.

Feeling exceedingly embarrassed, and confused tbh. Why would someone go to the effort to then say “let’s give it a miss” 😕

Gonna be single forever clearly I’m just a joke 😫✌🏻

Argh what a horror.. just move on from it.. hes a time waister

Nasty little piece of work - it's no reflection on you, it's about him. Hold your head high, and count yourself lucky that you missed that little bag of tricks.

MamaOl93 · 16/02/2021 18:24

@bellalou1234 can’t work it out why he would go to such lengths to message me, ask me out, then before we even get to the date he stopped talking and then when he does he just flakes out. I just think it must be me 😫

@mbosnz thanks, I will try. For now I just keep thinking I’m a joke and feeling so embarrassed x

Of course you're not a joke. He might have a genuine reason but leave him alone from now on. It's not you, it's him.

MamaOl93 · 16/02/2021 18:41

@KirstenBlest yeah I will, it’s just really embarrassing so I wouldn’t message him again x

Could be someone has been shit stirring and he doesn’t know what to do? Don’t give up on dating altogether x

Whatabambam · 16/02/2021 18:51

He was using you for an ego trip, perhaps he has a girlfriend and realised that flirting with you was about to turn into something more and he backed off. Honestly, just be grateful that you have not gone any further than this. He sounds like an arse. It very much isn't you. It's him. Tits out and chin up girl, you are worth so much more than this xx

bellalou1234 · 16/02/2021 18:54

Definitely not you.. maybe he likes the chase just hold your head high and never message him again

Ceriane · 16/02/2021 18:57

Don’t be embarrassed OP. You were too good for him!!! You can do better!

MamaOl93 · 16/02/2021 19:07

@GrannieD @Whatabambam @bellalou1234 @Ceriane aw thank you all they’re really lovely messages. I appreciate it. I went through this with my ex and I built myself back up and went through such a period of strength and just found it’s all been knocked down again by this guy. Typical really. But really, thank you x

You should be very proud of yourself for moving forward. Try not to lose your belief in yourself because of a jerk who crossed your path xx

MamaOl93 · 16/02/2021 19:36

@Whatabambam thank you! 💐

Honestly, until you find the right one, all the others are absolute toss pots.

There is nothing wrong with you and everything wrong with him.

Dust your self down, chin up, fight on!

MamaOl93 · 16/02/2021 19:40

Just removed him as a friend on Facebook. He did this, not me, right?! So bye 🤷🏻‍♀️

OP posts:
MamaOl93 · 16/02/2021 19:41

@MrsBobDylan thank you I appreciate it. What’s disappointing is that we used to get on so well & I thought he was a good guy!

OP posts:
DavidsSchitt · 16/02/2021 19:45

Yes, remove him on everything and block! Take the upper hand and if there's a chance you'd ever bump into him again plan your breezy waltz past like he never entered your mind

MamaOl93 · 16/02/2021 19:51

@DavidsSchitt done haha 👏🏻👏🏻
