Guy pursued me and then told me he didn’t find me attractive

Just as the title says really. Younger guy pursued me, flirted, sexted and then when I asked him how he felt. he told me he didn’t find me attractive “in that way”.

I’m in my 40’s, but I have been told I look younger than I am, and have generally a good self esteem and have never really had trouble attracting the opposite sex. I’m just a bit devastated and confused. I know I’m being silly. But now I feel really old.

He’s now blocked everywhere but hell it hurts!

Sounds like he is probably quite immature. He was happy to pursue it for fun and, as you start talking about feelings he runs for the hills.
Not sure why he needs to be so awful about it but is clearly not the type of person who sounds like they'd be a good partner.
Onwards and upwards xx

He did want to fxxk you as he flirted and sexted

this Wally not wanting to progress does not define your hotness

prefer to date people my age
they have same eye bags and wrinkles !

He might have not felt chemistry which is different to attraction he's not worded it properly . I'm sure you are beautiful OP he sounds like a dick. I've flirted with really fit men but not really felt the chemistry or passion with them.

Thanks for all your responses guys, it’s nice to know I’m not alone in my thoughts. He was 29. Just makes you feel a bit flattered you know, should have known better.

@Fififelix Absolutely, but I think there was genuine chemistry I mean I could feel it, but I think age really was a factor. He’s more into Instagram type girls, just makes you feel crappy knowing men can be that shallow.

Ah I'm 29 I think this is the age men start looking for something more serious especially if they don't have children already. I'd say if you want to go for younger men just view it as fun not having the goal for long term relationship. He sounds like an arse.
