I'm a little dissapointed and this is why I don't do dating usually.

Said she's decided she's not ready to date yet though which I can understand but I did say when we started talking I didn't want to rush into anything serious.

It can be frustrating, though if you're actually interested in her, accept it, let her know it's not a problem and you're happy to reschedule when she's available and ready.

I think she probably got cold feet, it happens but I was really looking forward to meeting her and going for a nice walk and meal

Ah PD, gutted for you, pal.

I’ve had this so many times (although on typing that I realise I may be the common denominator hahaha!). I even spoke to a woman for three hours on the phone and we got on really well, yet the day before our date she wasn’t ready. Or even after a first date! (Although typing that it feels even more like it’s me ).

It’s so frustrating when it feels promising because you are getting on famously.

Very tough, my friend, but you’re a great looking bloke, fun and interesting. I doubt you’ll have to wait long for another candidate

Dating isn't what it once was, she probably just got a better match maybe and that's the thing with modern times and apps.

I'll just carry on going with the flow and see what happens and thank you for the kind words buddy

You genuinely sounded excited about this the other day, and I felt excited for you too. Sometimes all that a gentleman wants is a little courtship, some woo'ing and all the ingredients to make the heart flutter.

These temptresses - they lead us like a moth to a flame.

Thing is that it was her that asked if I was going to ask her out on a date, so then I did and now she's cancelled day before

She would have been taking to at least 10 other guys, and you were, most definitley, a backup.

Sorry to hear that though, there is a reason that men are starting to check out if dating...

She may have had genuine reason.

Some people can get really stressed with nerves.

It sounds like, at she let you know she couldn't make it, instead of just a no show.

Yes you were really looking forward to meeting and it sounds like you'd still like to, when she's ready.

However posting about it on here would be a huge red light. It'd put me, and I think most others, from ever getting involved with you.

IMHO, one of the drawbacks off online dating, is that people have access to other people they wouldn't have had before the Internet. Therefore they have many more options and so whereas previously if someone didn't tick all the boxes but most of them, they'd date and see if the missing ticks could be worked on. With online dating if someone they match with doesn't tick all the boxes they move on to the next person hoping they will.

I agree, I do ok with getting matches but I got to really click with someone to want to date them. She says she still has wounds from last relationship and I've been there but I wouldn't have asked someone if going to go on a date with me at that time

"Meh... Delete and move on! Shouldn't even be on the apps if they're not ready.

I think she probably got cold feet, it happens but I was really looking forward to meeting her and going for a nice walk and meal"

I date myself and self partner...anyone else who comes along is a bonus. Lol!

I went alone to Sicily for my birthday and bought a bottle of Prosecco and shared it with all the other people in the restaurant.

I'm having the best time with me. Lol! I'm so much fun and compassionate to myself. Lol!

I've been alone 9 years.

On a serious note, I have a psychotherapist and three support groups for emotional and mental support.

I need people but a life partner, I think is too tall an order for me. Most people don't have the emotional intelligence to cope with someone like me.( even psychiatrists, psychologists and psychotherapists are bamboozled and frustrated) That's ok. I don't like the idea of forcing people into something which I know is complex, stigmatized, problematic and the complete deep end of life.

So I have clinical substitutes for family and friends who only have to deal with me for short periods of time and not daily.

"Awww that really sucks, especially if you were looking forward to it You’re an attractive guy I’m sure it won’t take you long in finding someone that wants that wants all the same things as you do "

It's my luck, I found a money spider earlier at the hospital while waiting so maybe I'll play the lottery today and luck will change

What I need is for you to have a twin that lives in my village

"I’m sorry, it really sucks when that happens.

I was considering signing up for the dating apps again but you’ve just reminded me why I hate them.

What are you going to do with your unexpected free time? Will you still go out?

Yeah I'm thinking about just deleting them all again but I hardly go on them anyway.

I'll just go take some photos I think instead at the waterfall we would have been going to

Well she is obviously a fool if she cancelled on you *and* a waterfall visit.

Have a lovely time "

That's kind of you to say, I'd happily take you if ever come my way

I think of it like this, a meet date isnt happening, until its avtually happening."

Ah PD, gutted for you, pal.

I’ve had this so many times (although on typing that I realise I may be the common denominator hahaha!). I even spoke to a woman for three hours on the phone and we got on really well, yet the day before our date she wasn’t ready. Or even after a first date! (Although typing that it feels even more like it’s me ).

It’s so frustrating when it feels promising because you are getting on famously.

Very tough, my friend, but you’re a great looking bloke, fun and interesting. I doubt you’ll have to wait long for another candidate

Dating isn't what it once was, she probably just got a better match maybe and that's the thing with modern times and apps.

I'll just carry on going with the flow and see what happens and thank you for the kind words buddy "

It's what happens as you get older. Everyone I've met over 25 has been walking wounded and most are not in a recovery programme/routine.

so people flake as it's easier to do than commit to unpleasant feelings and uncertainty and rejection.

IMHO, one of the drawbacks off online dating, is that people have access to other people they wouldn't have had before the Internet. Therefore they have many more options and so whereas previously if someone didn't tick all the boxes but most of them, they'd date and see if the missing ticks could be worked on. With online dating if someone they match with doesn't tick all the boxes they move on to the next person hoping they will.

I agree, I do ok with getting matches but I got to really click with someone to want to date them. She says she still has wounds from last relationship and I've been there but I wouldn't have asked someone if going to go on a date with me at that time "

Now still having wounds from previous relationship is a red flag for me....not posting on forum.

Through experience I've learned that what people say in the first few days/,weeks/,months is to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Now, if I were you, and I was very interested in this person, I would keep the conversation going until I either lost interest or I was sure they had.

I'd talk to other people and arrange dates, because my life is not to be wasted waiting on someone else.

With my wounds, I've seen it make me and others weaker, less trusting and more self-sabotaging.

The people closest to me are the professionals and I get suspicious of people who avoid professional help of any kind. To me it's an avoidance and isolation tactic which doesn't help me for sure and I haven't seen it help many people at all. I understand it's their safe space.

However, there can be no growth without change and there can be no change without courage and there is no courage if you just stay in your safe space.

I left dating apps because I decided to look for other ways of getting the intimacy, commitment and companionship that I would normally get from a relationship.

So far it's working but I live in London, there are so many activities that are free, cheap and moderately expensive that I can go to. If I can manage to log off and leave my home and most people I've found are friendly and welcoming in those spaces. I don't know it's a London thing that we are more accepting of a bunch of random strangers coming together.

I’ve had this so many times (although on typing that I realise I may be the common denominator hahaha!). I even spoke to a woman for three hours on the phone and we got on really well, yet the day before our date she wasn’t ready. Or even after a first date! (Although typing that it feels even more like it’s me ).

It’s so frustrating when it feels promising because you are getting on famously.

Very tough, my friend, but you’re a great looking bloke, fun and interesting. I doubt you’ll have to wait long for another candidate

Dating isn't what it once was, she probably just got a better match maybe and that's the thing with modern times and apps.

I'll just carry on going with the flow and see what happens and thank you for the kind words buddy

IMHO, one of the drawbacks off online dating, is that people have access to other people they wouldn't have had before the Internet. Therefore they have many more options and so whereas previously if someone didn't tick all the boxes but most of them, they'd date and see if the missing ticks could be worked on. With online dating if someone they match with doesn't tick all the boxes they move on to the next person hoping they will.

I agree, I do ok with getting matches but I got to really click with someone to want to date them. She says she still has wounds from last relationship and I've been there but I wouldn't have asked someone if going to go on a date with me at that time

Now still having wounds from previous relationship is a red flag for me....not posting on forum.

Yeah I agree, it's best to make sure you're ready before starting to date

Took me 2 years to date after the abusive marriage and I had professional help one to one counseling and group counseling.

Still single though for the reasons above."

You will know when you're ready

"Oh I'm sorry! One of mine keeps having to rearrange because of work issues, so I feel you.

There will be others! "

Omg I can't stand that. I don't want to date someone who doesn't have a good work life balance and strong work/personal life boundaries. It also makes me thing that they can't manage their money effectively which is why they have to work such long hours.

I work part-time due to illness and disability and I manage my money just fine so I don't understand people who work over 60 hours a week with no time left over for anything else.

They think they want a relationship but they don't actually have time to commit to a relationship for the work that is required to keep a relationship going.

my parents are still together for over 40 years and they never worked over 40 hours a week for months and years on end but they were financially savvy. Just a nurse and a teacher..not rich...not even upper middle class.

Bloody hell "date" sound like you were just a stop gap until he can get over his ex and find a fertile womb to impregnate.

As you can tell from my profile I'm very upfront and direct.

Friendship

Sex

Intimate companion ( sex and socialising)

Life partners... ( sex socialising and commitment to sharing out lives together long term.)

Otherwise, I'm not interested. I have zero time to waste. when it comes to people I'm quite decided even when I couldn't always identify my emotions I always knew what I wanted and didn't want. I don't like to string people along just to boost my ego.

"I would rather monopolise her time. It's far cheaper than a ring and the consequences that often occur thereafter.

#MatromonialRegrets"

Nick Cannon cannot remember the names of any of his consequences and he never married any of their mothers (except Mariah)...lol!

"Not suprised 99% of all contacts are going to waste your time.

Am I cynical? Yes but cold hard experience on here has taught me to be.

This wasn't a fab meet, it was a date from another app and to be fair I've only been cancelled on one time on fab"

"I've conditioned myself to not have high hopes of anyone.

Through experience I've learned that what people say in the first few days/,weeks/,months is to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Now, if I were you, and I was very interested in this person, I would keep the conversation going until I either lost interest or I was sure they had.

I'd talk to other people and arrange dates, because my life is not to be wasted waiting on someone else.

Well I've left ball in her court, I'm not one to keep messaging if I think I'm wasting my time and if she's not ready I definitely would be

Don't totally ignore her though. If I'm having a bit of a tough time with life a little hi from someone boosts my mind.

You'll know when to admit defeat.

I don't know her, but she could be having a bit of a life crisis, or be scared of getting involved because she can't handle heartache.

Well I told her to keep in touch and let me know if decides she wants to meet. She's read the message and not replied

Ah, then I'd not lose any sleep over her.

Did you tell her something weird about you, like eating roasted garlic sandwiches every day?

But roasted garlic is so nice.... they have tic tac and minty gum.

It tends to flavour body fluids though "

That's fine. I like garlic and body fluids can stay on the body and in the body and not in my mouth..or anyone else's mouth if they don't want it.

I'm plus size...I choose roasted garlic over male/female body fluids any day.

"I'm a little dissapointed and this is why I don't do dating usually.

Said she's decided she's not ready to date yet though which I can understand but I did say when we started talking I didn't want to rush into anything serious. "

Bummer. Sorry to hear she cancelled but also how great she hasn't consumed more of your time and hopes and was honest about her position. It's probably not much of a consolation but now you can open your arms to a new experience. And take it as slow as you like. Don't even need to label it dating or anything similar?

"I'm a little disappointed and this is why I don't do dating usually.

Said she's decided she's not ready to date yet though which I can understand but I did say when we started talking I didn't want to rush into anything serious.

Really sorry to hear this ·PD·

You genuinely sounded excited about this the other day, and I felt excited for you too. Sometimes all that a gentleman wants is a little courtship, some woo'ing and all the ingredients to make the heart flutter.

These temptresses - they lead us like a moth to a flame.

Thing is that it was her that asked if I was going to ask her out on a date, so then I did and now she's cancelled day before

There should be a law against this type of thing "

Had this so many times. Held back from seeming too keen, or rushing things. Then have them give "hint" so I ask, then little to no effort on their part to make it happen.

I've been on both sides of the needing to cancel a date, even had it hit me that I was not just ready to date again but chatted with them about it. So I can sympathise slightly with her on that.

It is a frustration indeed. Especially when finding somebody you want to actually invite on a date is rare enough as it is.

I'm currently on the bitter and resentful side of the dating experience right now. Bored of it and just can't motivate myself to get to get to know somebody else. The past efforts have taken their toll and I need a break and refresh from it all.

This would have been first date in a couple of years and I'm already wishing I hadn't put one in place, I've stopped looking for them but it was her idea so seemed like a good idea at the time

Remember PD — the only date that will never let you down is your left hand (or right hand, depending on how you hold your guitar).

I only get exited when their car pulls up. Until then it may not happen. This has always stood me in good stead after lots of disappointments.

I've been single for nearly 10 years. I tried dating for a serious relationship and I couldn't take any of the men seriously. Lol! A bit fatigued from dating for intimacy and companionship. so now all I want is a little intimacy which always seems to be less intimacy needed for women than men.

the club 3-4 times a month is enough intimacy for me.

Even arranging non-club meets is exhausting me now.

I try not to go down the bitter and resentful road...it's not good for my mental health and it could turn inward to self-h@rm and self-sabotage. I always try to nip that in the bud.

There's a lone-wolf male philosophy on social media for self-improvement and It seems to work well for some men. Definitely takes your power back when you focus less on sex and finding a sexual/romantic partner.

I pretty much did 18 months in therapy as a lone wolf it resulted in low libido and disconnection from people but it had to be done for my own growth and development...and I didn't die from lack of sex/romance.

I only get excited when I actually see them....could be their wife driving their car to tell me that they are not coming. Lol! Happened before I met the girlfriend in the pub( who I have zero sexual interest in) while the guy was parking the car. Lol! I was relieved when he walked in tall smart casual with a full head of hair and a nice mischievous toothy smile.

Reading this gave me the ick for you.

As if I was in your same position with the same feeling of excitement and doubt I would feel ick-y..and no doubt have an anxiety-induced IBS flare-up. Lol! Omg...Nah I try to keep that adrenaline and cortisol under wraps.

Be careful what you wish for. While I can't cycle to Wales I can cycle to Mayfair etc.. Lol! I could hire a car and drive to Wale but I like my bicycle more....

Unlikely today or the rest of the week though I'm in bed with some Benylin cold and flu....and my period. Might be catching....the cold and/or flu...not the period.

extra chaotic today.
