Was supposed to be meeting for a Third date, got on life a house on fire (so I thought). Meant to be meeting this evening at 6 but just disappeared. Obviously early days but it sucks doesn’t it. Why can’t they just say thanks but no thanks? Instead I’ve lost an evening and feel like shit.

Men are dicks aren’t they?

my ex (of three years!!) ghosted me earlier this year, then got back in touch after almost three months wanting to come back. Failed to mention the relationship he started a week before walking out and ignoring me though….

Solidarity sister, pour yourself a glass of something nice and be thankful you dodged a bullet. Next! x

What a total dweeb. He literally couldn’t even text you and say ‘sorry, turns out this isn’t a good time…thanks for two great dates’.

What a complete loser. You definitely have nothing to feel shit about. He is just spineless. At least you know now, not after 10 dates.

Three years?? Jesus that is beyond dickish, so sorry that happened to you. Ending isn’t fun but just end it politely, it seems rudeness is accepted now. Think online dating is fucking over the world.

Large wine in hand 😊

I was gutted, but I just feel sorry for him now. I’ve had flowers, cards, “its only you” bullshit…not interested. He’s a very sad, messed up little man and he’ll end up very lonely.

I agree about OLD, but there are some good ones out there you just have to sort through the many dickheads first. Best of luck x

@whatthefuck23 you’ve dodged a bullet..it feels crap I know. How loss and like others have said he will probably be back.

i dated someone for 5.5yrs..he started becoming very difficult in weird ways..standing up for myself resulted in sulking then gaslighting. I went quiet..I never heard back from him..still to this day it’s the oddest break up I’ve ever had to deal with.

@RSitf 5 and a half years that’s absolutely crazy, I think men just have an off switch for emotions. I know it’s a swerve but it’s just the absolute rudeness, we’d spoken everyday up until the day of the date then bam, nothing. I got ready and everything. It’s just plain rude, kept thinking I’ll get a I’ve got my phone text as he’d seemed so keen up until then. I know the reality is likely to be he just swiped someone hotter and they were free that night. It’s just a never ending Beauty contest which is bloody tiresome!

@whatthefuck23 yea absolute madness.
It makes you question a lot after all that time. It feels un finalised..yet it’s been 10 months and I have to accept he wants who I thought he was.
it’s a cowardly way out and not something I’d dream of doing to another human being.
This just means the right person is out there for you..chin up..his loss

@easylisten yes you’re right, I’m sure many women do as well, but I’d also argue that thanks to the joys of filters and men wanting much younger women they probably have more of a kid in a sweet shop mentality…. I may be wrong!
