Nerve Dating Confessions

January 16, 6:15PM Normally I'm quiet content being alone but today was a bad day. Met a guy online a couple weeks ago, chatted a few nights for hours, found we had much in common, he told me how awesome and hot he thought I was and how he was excited to meet me...then we met and he said he wasn't attracted to me. I didn't realize how much I missed having someone to talk to every day. CAN RELATE (3) CAN'T RELATE (0) FLAG FOR ABUSE

That must've stung. What a jerk. I'm sorry o.p. You deserve so much better.

as a woman you should realize that guy is just the usual misogynist predator who enjoys leading on a woman to then put her down, because it makes him feel in control. so common. many women would however consider just a bit less awful than the creeps who lead on a woman for some dates, only to use her sexually once or twice and disappear to hurt her even more.

As least the two of you met so that both/each of you could know for certain. My online friend refuses to meet. They are either hiding something, or tremendously flaky.

@clo - methinks you're projecting a tad of your own issues. The circumstances OP very briefly described are equally consistent with the guy being sincere in the things he expressed at the time he expressed them.

That sucks, girl. At least he was honest. That is a difficult thing to express. Online dating is awful. You can like a person's looks, but the chemistry isn't there. Just so hard to tell.

Clo- do take you pedantic, trivializing, victim blaming shit elsewhere. We are all sick TO DEATH of your faggy trolling. We're all sorry your mother touched your pee pee, but take it to a shrink, for god's sake, and stop shitting up psychologically healthy people's confessions. The sarcasm and spleen is ugly as fuck.

On the date he kept telling me how excited he ws to meet me and how compatible he thought we were. Then he started saying maybe we were too alike. The date lasted two hours. He clarified a few days later saying he wasnt attracted to me and had hoped during the date that would change but it didnt.

That... sounds horribly painful. I've been on the opposite side of that, knowing the guy was holding out hope, but there's no way to force it. Don't take it personally. These things are like auditions. Just because you weren't right for the part doesn't mean you won't be perfect for another part that's just as good. Sorry again.

You sound like a toxically angry person @ps. Get help.

@ps commented on Jan 16 13 at 9:01 pm FLAG FOR ABUSE

Thanks guys. You really made me feel better. On to the next. :)

op commented on Jan 16 13 at 9:14 pm FLAG FOR ABUSE

ps= ow. Just "angry" at (ie irritated with, don't flatter yourself) you, clo. Are you the same person who likes to say "you sound bitter and that's not attractive" to every sad/angry confession? Because your retorts are similarly lazy and lame attempts to deny the right to have an emotional reactions to shitty behavior-- or to have emotional reactions at all. It's an abuse tactic that dovetails nicely with your sarcastic misogyny. Back to your bridge, troll.

@clo oh gawd, this was most likely not misogyny. op hopefully knows now that you should meet in person sooner than later. people look different in pictures and personalities can come off way different in email than in person.

that guy is sincere in his misoginy @WRW and @DJG. typical woman hater so many women meet, with something like madonna whore complex. he 'loves' women as long as he has not met them, and then he puts them down when he meets them. the end result is that he hurt his victim. when a man hurts a woman like that any woman can see that it is his responsibility. if he did not more or less consciously or secretly enjoy hurting women he would have tried less hard to fill his victim with expectations and compliments, that every womans knows are just the way men try to sweet talk into pumping and dumping them. this creep hates women so much that he did not even go for pumping her, to belittle OP, also probably because he is a small dicked loser.
