Lost my partner last year, sadly, so as its been a year I just decided to put myself out there as I miss having someone. in my life
Joined a dating site at new year and spent some time speaking to a few guys.
Gave one my number and he only messaged once a day. Fine, some guys don't want to overdo it. Was polite and respectful, asked about my loss/life etc. After a week texting/phoning he just stopped. So I'm guessing he didn't want to meet me after all ! Hmmm, he seemed keen but hey ho.
Next guy was super keen. A university lecturer with a cat (I've got two). Pursued me for two weeks. He didn't want to swap numbers, I was ok with that too I'm pretty private at giving my number out, so we texted on the site.
We messaged daily. Asked me about my interests/life etc - all was going well. He messaged me on Valentine's Day and we arranged to meet at a local park for a coffee this weekend.
I turned up early so I could watch out for him arriving. Waited 20 mins after the meeting time and then messaged him on the site to say 'thanks for wasting my time!' No reply.
What am I doing wrong? I'm a bit old-fashioned in that I prefer a guy to pursue me (I believe they will if they're interested).
What the heck is wrong with guys on these sites !? I'm a good person, loyal and caring with a good heart. Funny, sociable, solvent, fairly pretty lol
I just can't work these guys out. If they're interested and want to meet and take things further, then that's why they should stay in touch. If they don't, they should cut ties before it gets to that stage. But that's not what's happening.
I met my late partner online and, yes, it took some time but it wasn't this hard.
The guy this weekend? Either he died (!) or he's an arsehole for not turning up. I know which one I'm going with....... :)
