He told me he wanted to be in a serious relationship with me after one date

He told me he was a very good lover

Told me his six figure salary

He invited me to go on holiday with him abroad for a week... after the first date

Men 🙈

It works the other way too!
I was just what she was looking for
She earned loads and had lots of property
Could we sail round the Med this summer
Her Ex was useless.
Then it was her car needed fixing, the shower leaked, her son was rubbish with money, could you help me out with a friends cash flow problem!

Women 🙄

Agreed, I'll rephrase...

Mine future fakes massively. My dreams became his - even though they were obscure and unique (think rescuing Bengal cats in Ireland)

He would pretend to worry about me doing a long journey - that I'd done loads of time before. He wanted me to check in otherwise he'd worry about me.

He told me how he was going to propose etc. just sucked the joy out of any spontaneity. All too much!

I feel guilty for shaming you now 😳Your obviously a nice person that has been on the wrong end of stuff sorry 😳

ClickingTock123 · 22/06/2023 18:30

I'll tell you what though, I had a female friend who had her cocklodger move in within weeks and he immediately referred to "our" home and "our things" etc etc. She was so chuffed that he saw them as a unit she just couldn't see the wood for the trees.

What she should have said was "fuck off out of my house mate"

Yes I'm a nice person lol, women can indeed be pricks too! I was just reflecting on my own experiences.

I don't date anymore... but I never did fancy a woman 😃

Asked me to marry him and to try for a baby. But also wanted this to be 'our secret'.

He also let everyone believe I'd dumped him. So I looked like a bitch and had no support.

He dumped me with no warning and my friends were puzzled at why I was so upset.

One of his friends asked me to take him back and give him another chance. I put them right on the actual events.

It was a TOTAL headfuck.

Bengal12 · 25/06/2023 17:31

After date 2 he sent me links to theatre shows in 4 months’ time saying he’s hoping we will find time to see them together.
after a trip to Spain (by himself) said he saw some amazing handbags that he thought I’d like so WHEN we go there together he really wants to go to the shop so I can pick one. I got annoyed and called his bluff by saying that particular brand was available to in Selfridges so why don’t you call an Uber and we can get one now.😂

Zarataralara · 25/06/2023 17:35

Worst one ever —- relative where the widower, at his wife’s funeral, said he’d always liked her would she come on holiday with him in a fortnight’s time. ( yes, she went)

Zarataralara · 25/06/2023 17:38

A close second, friend who got hit on by a married man. She went on a pre- booked holiday. When she got back he’d rebuilt her garden — new higher fencing and fast growing bamboo. I later pointed out it was probably so he couldn’t be seen by neighbours when he kept visiting.

Thereoughttobeclowns · 25/06/2023 17:43

Years ago, but told me he could see us getting married (after 2 weeks). Punched a wall after said 2 weeks when I told him I didn’t want to see him again. Broke bones in his hand 😮

Then stalked me for an entire year - turned up at my house at random times, followed me everywhere, stole my shoes 😂

Stratocumulus · 25/06/2023 17:45

He took me away abroad many many times in the first 12 months. Paid for everything, wouldn’t accept any contributions. Flowers, protestation of love, the entire 9 yards then … the mask fell when I asked him to put his phone down whilst we sat together for a meal.
He threw a temper and the phone across the room.
It was curtains from me. His true self finally exploded.

why are you here?

Bengal12 · 25/06/2023 17:56

on the 3rd date: ‘you are exactly what I need. If the circumstances were different, I can see us living together, don’t you?’
me: clarify ‘circumstances’
him: ‘I’m married, but the moment I saw you I knew you were the one’
and then: ‘it’s normal in Italy’.

madroid · 25/06/2023 18:20

Marriage proposal after 6 weeks and plans to have a baby. Insisted on an answer and wouldn't accept, 'maybe, but of course I'll need to get to know you better and how can you love me when you don't know me?' response.

I was a naïve idiot and should have run a mile. I thought it was his idea of being romantic, rather than a massive hook to reel me in on. (I didn't even want a baby).

FuckOffTom · 25/06/2023 18:34

“I’m a millionaire on paper”
“I would like to take you to Paris for the weekend”“You’re the first person I met that ‘gets’ me”

Cunts.

AmmarettoSours · 25/06/2023 18:39

He told me he was going to get a plane to write "will you marry me?" In the sky. Then jump out and skydive, landing infront of me on one knee with a ring.

We weren't even dating and he was old enough to be my dad !

Bananalanacake · 25/06/2023 18:50

Oh please tell me your friend got rid of the cocklodger when she realised that's what he was. I never let men move in, I was always very clear on that.

my exH ‘stealthed’ me by not using protection when I asked, got pregnant and thankfully didn’t keep it, otherwise would have been tied to him for life which was probably the idea…

proposed within 8 weeks.

bought me lots of very expensive jewellery which I had to sell for a fraction of what was paid originally when I was trying to escape years later. Bought me loads of things in general, tbf.

obviously years later it was all used against me when I became a baby murdering gold digger…
