Dating

Soooo
Been seeing a bloke since about August time, we have a bit of a argument last night (always busy with work)

He words and says things very straight forward in messages, and can be a bit harsh. I asked if he fancied doing something this week, he said he was busy. But would see me Sunday. I am a bit fed up of the one day a week stuff and I don't think I am his priority which is fair enough, but I ask as I need to arrange childcare. His reply as "look we are dating nothing else"

Am I being over sensitive here? We had the chat last week, that he really likes me and would like to do more things, and then this.

I haven't text him or anything. I'm quite angry. Would u just let him do one?

Nice reply's only

This could be last chance saloon at happiness OP.

Do you envision meeting a nice man in real life what earns 100k+?

You certainly won't find that on OLD..apps are a cesspit of losers and deadbeats.

You could be back on here in 10 years making a "lonely and depressed" thread. Or maybe even a " will I ever find anyone" thread.

He wasn't off an app hahhaa

You've already got form for "settling".

You stated he's "not your type" such basically means Mr average. Mr Beta. 0 sexual attraction at all.

Many women do this after 30 when you're past your best, the mental gymnastics to justify settling.. "he's really nice" "he's really good with kids" etc etc.

If there's no burning sexual desire, no butterfly's it will never last. Never. You'll resent him and regret wasting your 30s with a Tom Hanks lookalike.

I doubt you're the only one he's dating. He doesn't sound like he'll be a great loss from your life. I don't even like how he speaks to you.

Oscarbin · 24/01/2023 10:54

Nope! It's all over! I haven't blocked him but I have deleted numbers etc to stop texting.

I was sick of making an effort, and spoke to like crap!

I am so knackered with it all

Well done, he was doing nothing for you OP. You won't end up a cat lady but you'd be better off on your own being a happy single mum, using any child free time to go for dinner or a walk with a friend, or a swim than being dragged down as once a week no strings shag for someone without basic manners.

Oscarbin · 24/01/2023 11:25

Yeah I go to the gym 3 x a week too on an evening.

Weekends especially a Sunday drag a bit for me. Will need to try and do something fun, it's hard with everyone being so skint.

His reply as "look we are dating nothing else"
Good grief what an arsehole.
"I'm asking for plain good manners so I can plan my week, not commitment.
As you can't provide the former, & I don't want commitment, you're wrong that we're dating. I don't date mannerless arrogant twats - you're dumped."

Am I being over sensitive here? We had the chat last week, that he really likes me and would like to do more things, and then this.
Read his actions, not his words.

I haven't text him or anything. I'm quite angry. Would u just let him do one?
Er yeah, but not without telling him to do one. See above Wink

Thank you for that! I thought it as me.

Going end up a lonely cat lady 😂😂

Maybe you will. Worse things happen at sea. Better no man than wrong man.,

At least cats are upfront about being arrogant twats who you only exist to kowtow to.

Its a classic trope. Oh me im so wounded by my first love, like a baby bird, I need attention and fussing and food and whatever I say basically. What's that? Childcare dates? How dare you! Trying to control me! 😂

😂😂😍

What in the name of holy fuck are you rabbiting on about?

Far better to maintain standards I think. His reply to you was horrid. To maintain self respect I don't think u would continue with a relationship after someone said that to me.

marly24 · 24/01/2023 17:04

'I' would - sorry - posted too soon

Oscarbin · 24/01/2023 17:08
