Met someone around Christmas time. We are both in our 50s. Met him on Match. He is always busy! Never been to his house. We have met for 2 hours in the last fortnight for breakfast. Kissed nothing more. He wants to go away for a weekend. I've just ended it.

He’s just after sex now. Once that’s done he’s out. He doesn’t want a relationship op.

I think you are right plus he was really mean and penny pinching

Mean with money, mean with his time. What is the attraction for you? I think you may have dodged a bullet with this one 😏

Sounds like hes married/in a relationship. Speaking from personal experience if someone really wants to see you they will always make time!

I think dating gets more complicated/harder in your 50s. There's loads of non committal flaky men on dating sites but if someone is really interested they will make time to see you.

Sounds married Confused

Exactly my thoughts

Marinamountainzoo · 25/08/2022 21:58

Why do you need a reason or an explanation for his behaviour? It's enough to end a relationship simply because it's not what you want or not right for you. You can do that without blaming the other person.

He might be married or he might just be someone who just thinks spending naff all time together is how to have a relationship.

Why did you wait this long to dump him?
After a few weeks of ‘being busy’ and not making an effort to meet - you should have moved on. Certainly after a few months.
Hw was probably married anyway

He is trying to use for his BLANK space.

Avoid him.
