Made you look!

Kidding x

This is me asking advice on how to get back up after a knock on your confidence.

I recently had a social meet with someone I quite fancied. The social meet only lasted 15 mins, not because I wanted it to end, but he had to meet a friend, which he just mentioned there in the 1st minute of meeting. In that 15 mins he decided we didn't have chemistry. I felt really rushed, I couldn't relax and be me and from the word go, he seemed like he wished he was somewhere else, but with me. When you get that vibe off someone it makes you a little self conscious and feel like an idiot if you started to flirt with them.

That evening he had a last minute play meet, which to me felt like, I wasn't what he wanted even though he'd seen my pictures as we were friends on here. Even though he said that wasn't the case (because he really did have to meet a friend), but eventually said he didn't feel a massive connection between us.

I think what's bugging me is that I felt judged in that short instance and never got to be me.

I know most will say just move on to the next or forget it. But I felt it was an unfair circumstance. Almost like you're just about to talk, but someone thinks they know what you're going to say even before you say it, but they are completely wrong in that assumption.

I apologise in advance to those that are just rolling their eyes at this.

I did however meet a lovely guy after that, but that is still plaguing me.

I just need to shake this off xx

I think that you need to look at this from the other angle, you basically escaped a shallow, disrespectful individual. Don't waste energy on people like this, just be grateful you saw their true colours sooner rather than later. X

dont stress over it...think it through...there is nothing at all to be stressed over....you had a social,one of you decided not to take it further and politely,im assuming, let you know...maybe he got a vibe off you that you were after a bit more?,seems a bit odd to then question him later about a subsequent meet..i doubt you;d be too happy about a virtual stranger asking why you'd met certain people..

Thanks hun... I try not to see the bad in people and often look inward at myself. I need to stop doing that because I know it's not healthy for my self esteem.

It's a shame he and I know a lot of the same people...

May have to just Block him..out of sight out of mind.

Rubbish.

We have all had circumstnces where the photos / voice / chats all sound very hot, and you meet that person in the flesh and there is nothing there at all.

It doesn't make anyone shallow.

This site is all about consent, nobody has the right to demand a fuck, so when someone exercises that right upon meeting in the flesh you can't call them shallow or make statements about true colours.

If anything it sounds like the guy let her down gently, he could just as easily have taken one look and said thanks for coming but it's not gonna happen.

I do find it shallow and disrespectful to meet someone and shut it down to 15 mins, especially if they had been chatting a while, if I am not interested in someone, there is no spark I have the decency to tell them, I certainly don't arrange two different things at more or less the same time.

Personally though I wouldn't meet someone if I didn't think I'd have a good chat regardless of whether or not we got naked. I never for one second said anything about anyone demanding a fuck, that's totally come from you, the shallow thing was that having decided she wasn't for him, he left for something else after 15minutes. I've no idea how long it took her to get there, or what she missed out on to go, but talk about single minded... I was talking about what I believe to be the rude way he treated her. Swinger or not, some common human decency shouldn't be that hard.

Then again, I'm not a swinger, maybe this is just par for the course, but it's certainly not for me.

No idea why putting it the other way around would make any difference. If I met someone and had no spark, I certainly wouldn't sod off after 15 mins. I'd be upfront, but I would be mortified to have someone travel for maybe an hour, to then just walk away on them after 15mins. Then again, I maybe have a very different idea of what a social is, I started out in the kink community, and it's a very different set of social norms there.

Some swingers are very brisk and business like, others are more human in their approach. I'm not saying one is right and one is wrong, but one is right for me, and the other leaves me feeling like a piece of meat. I've swung with people like that in the past, and it really wasn't for me.

He did give you a chance. He showed up, gave you 15 minutes of his time and decided you weren't for him. Personally I think 15 minutes is definitely enough time to make that decision (I can make my mind up in 5) What exactly where you hoping to do with more time, radically change your personality and how you look?

You seem to put up quite a few threads about being rejected (at parties etc) From your profile you look like a very attractive woman but I don't know where you are going wrong. If you were a man you'd be told to man up and shot down in flames but you're a woman, so the white knights can come rescue you.

I don't think he did anything wrong. He was honest as far as i understand.

You had a social meet to see if there was a spark and if either of you wanted to take it further.

The guy realised early on that there was no spark or connection on his part so he cut short the social. Its difficult when you are the one being told 'no thanks' but at least he didn't string you along.

You just need to move along to the next one the same as he has.

If you look like your pics, turn up on time, dressed appropriately, don't say or do anything 'weird'...then you've done your bit for a social.

Socials don't always progress further. It's just how it is. Respect his decision and move on, good luck x

Life isn't fair it never has been and never will be.

You met somone who was obviously thinking more of the meet later than of making the social work.

It would probably have been better if he had had the courage to cancel the social but these things happen.

In the bloke's mind he was already in bed with his meet later on, nothing you could have done apart from stripping off and playing with him then and there would have made any difference to your social.

He met you, actually had the decency to turn up and quite possibly decided on the first minute you wasn't what he was expecting for whatever reason and made it clear from the off nothing was going to happen, so why drag it out

He basically decided not to waste your time or his on something that was never going to go anywhere.

Now he could of messaged you just before the meet to say he wasn't coming and he'd of been slagged off far more than he is getting now, worse still he could of simply not showed "even worse"

Basically he did the good thing, turned up, made it clear nothing was going to happen and left it there....but we all know how much man slagging off is always in vogue

Isn't that what a social is for? To see if there is any chemistry?

And a lot of people can tell straight off if it they want to take things further, he could well be one of those. I only need 5 minutes with a person, if it isn't there then it isn't there.

Don't over think it, let it go and move on, he has.

He turned up, decided that the OP wasn't what he was looking for, there is no obligation to sit there for hours talking to someone your not interested in, I see no rudeness on his part.

OP, not everyone is going to be interested in everyone so just move on up and have fun with those you do click with mutually

No, i'm not doing badly and I know I could meet another great person at my next meet, which I did. A fair amount of those are social meets. I like socialising in all this to bring the London Swing scene closer.

It's just the feeling attached to it that totally bugged me. The only reasons that I have cut a social meet short in the past was was because he seemed disinterested or was rude.

I know people have different reasons, it's just the feeling that lies within myself I have to deal with.

Bloody hell love, you fancied him, he didn't fancy you.

When I was 16 I fancied a lass who was dancing on the dance floor, my mate who was 18 so I looked up to him as being full of wisdom and knowledge, said I should go dance next to her. I did, and without a word she just shoved me away. I found it at first embarrassing, then funny. I got over it in about 30 seconds. Time you got over this lad

His manner about it wasn't great by any means but ultimately he wasn't interested, it may be "cruel to be kind" way to do it but at least he didn't lead you on.. I guess once he knew there wasn't any legs in it, he called it off.

I think you just need to bear in mind the kind of world you're in, this is one where most people get judged quick and rejected hard and fast. A portion of your profile is what you don't like and what can be perceived as you'll never give a chance. In a dating world that would be rude 100%, but we're not in the dating world and different rules seem to apply.

Maybe it's her preference, people often invite the very thing that hurts them. Happens with relationships all the time, maybe swinging is similar. Maybe open up yourself to different types of men?

"What a shallow man

WOW...REALLY? What was shallow about him? Complete opposite in my opinion....sounded like a real gentleman and maintained poise and maybe stayed to his standards and thought with his head (she looks gorgeous).

Sounds like you'd have difficulty dealing with someone saying no to you...no matter how polite (followed the green arrow to some of your other replies in forums)

It's not a loss for anyone if one decides it's not to happen. A social isn't a guarantee for more...If I go to a social where it's not agreed before that it could lead to more, I always treat it as a social and will not do more that a kiss. I often always have something else to do after a social which for me usually last no more than 45 min to 1hr max. If there could be more then I make sure I've nothing happening after.

He may have been offered a couple socials that day (and tbh very honest for those women who do not seem to get this , what man would say no as they don't happen as often as with you women).

He certainly wasn't shallow and I'm not saying that because he's a man...follow my green arrow

To the OP....It is hard to deal with being turned down when you like the other and possibly want more and are not given the chance to see. 15 minutes is definately enough time to know either way for both men and women. I'd block him...the reason I say it is...

1. Free your mind

2. He doesn't come up in searches

3. Doesn't come up in updates so you don't keep wishing.

4. Allows you to focus better on future socials/meets.

5. Allows you to respect his decision better. You can unblock later.

Yeah, sooner seemed better to me. I can still recall one social meet I had where I wasn't feeling it and said so, but stayed out of politeness. She just kept getting more and more sexually aggressive and put out, and I eventually bailed with a bad taste in my mouth.

Why would it? This is probably one of the better ones of hundreds of similar posts... they both stand up well in this post and should be seen as that. Both have been been well spoken of by most in here too It's good so I don't think he should.

I can't see that the guy did anything wrong, OP. Maybe it's because I'm part of a couple instead of a single woman, but when I meet single guys I know that they are there primarily for the sex, and if they aren't attracted to me or there is no spark I don't think it's fair to expect them to sit around for an hour and chat just to give me a chance. Its nice if people want to just socialize, but I don't think it's rude not to. I know I'm generalising a bit here, but that's been my experience.

If he had stayed longer I wonder if that would have given you the indication that you guys were hitting it off and that this might progress? Would he have been leading you on? Would the rejection have hurt less if he had stayed an hour instead of 15 minutes? I'm just wondering these things out loud. The answers might help you determine the real issue.

I think that you have to have confidence in yourself. If someone rejects you then a bit of pain is normal but it should only really affect you if you are relying too heavily on their opinion of you. I'm not trying to be harsh here, but based on previous threads you've posted, I think you need to find that confidence in yourself.

We've never had a social meet where a couple / single didn't want to play after. But that's not because we're amazing; it's just that we heavily filter who we meet. We avoid people that are overly focused on physical attraction (at the expenses of all else), who aren't interested in a social connection and who aren't in a relationship (with each other). Not saying there's anything wrong with those things but that's what works for us. Potentially we've also missed out on some awesome meets with hot couples, but all the couples we've met have floated our boat.

Maybe it's because I'm part of a couple instead of a single woman, but when I meet single guys I know that they are there primarily for the sex, and if they aren't attracted to me or there is no spark I don't think it's fair to expect them to sit around for an hour and chat just to give me a chance. Its nice if people want to just socialize, but I don't think it's rude not to. I know I'm generalising a bit here, but that's been my experience.

To be honest I think I could keep a conversation going with a door for 45 minutes to an hour, especially if the door wants to talk about economics

. 15 minutes does come across a bit transactional.

Some people see swinging as transactional and that's fine if everyone knows the rules. I don't know what was said between them before the meet. But certainly if we met someone for a social there would have been an expectation of more than 15 minutes conversation even if they didn't want to play.

I think what's bugging me is that I felt judged in that short instance and never got to be me.

I apologise in advance to those that are just rolling their eyes at this.

I did however meet a lovely guy after that, but that is still plaguing me.

At least you got to meet. I cant get beyond the photo I send. Lol

Rubbish.

We have all had circumstnces where the photos / voice / chats all sound very hot, and you meet that person in the flesh and there is nothing there at all.

It doesn't make anyone shallow.

If anything it sounds like the guy let her down gently, he could just as easily have taken one look and said thanks for coming but it's not gonna happen.

Yeah sorry I would have done the same as him, if I didn't fancy a guy in the flesh. I look at it like - Im not here to make friends - just fuck people I find physically attractive - so why waste either person's time by dragging out a meet? No one owes anyone anything on this site really, just take what you can get!

Sorry OP but I would just move on and forget about it. Psycho-analysing the behaviour of strangers ain't gonna help you in any way x

I hope these responses have rebooted your ego as I guess that was the intention. I know instantly on a social if I want to take things further. This man did too. Not all men will just have sex because it is there on a plate. I imagine you don't fancy every man so spare men that same courtesy. I would have socialised over lunch still as that is polite but the rejection would have felt the same even if he had done that. I had to do the same recently as the woman had terrible breath. I wasn't going to tell her so instead we had a lovely lunch and said goodbye. He had his reason and was rude for leaving so quick but if it's company you want next time arrange lunch in a bistro not a coffee in the local coffee shop. IMHO.

I don't think there is many who haven't been knocked down. Just be glad he went on a meet after a 15 min social and not after a weekend away. That can really kick you in the teeth and is very difficult to come back from

I think for me it depends on the other person. I don't think it's necessarily transactional to realize that you don't want to go further with someone and leave. It depends on the situation. As I said, continuing the conversation is nice, but I wouldn't expect it. But maybe that's just me.

You have to read the terms and conditions really. If we agree to a social then the contract we email over is clear that both parties agree to an evening of light entertainment and chatter without the expectation of sexual contact during or afterwards. Therefore, you have a duty to make all reasonable efforts to be pleasant company.

Naturally the contract has break clauses if one party turns up with bad breath, bad teeth, skinny jeans or leggings.

Of course if you make a different contract for your meets then there's nothing wrong with that either. This is just what works for us.

No, only individuals with an artifically inflated self-worth, or artifically inflated concept of whatever value it is that they are bringing to the table, as opposed to what the other party is bringing to the table.

I will leave it to readers to discuss the correlations between individuals who believe they bring far more value to the table than the other party, and individuals who think the other party are all useless shallow vain bastards in search of a cum bucket.

True story.

I knew two brothers who jointly inherited a business that was a going concern.

Brother A was a lovely chap, always took the time to talk to customers and suppliers, always tried to understand their needs, always tried to make them aware of his needs, customers always liked to deal with him and always came back for more.

Brother B was a total asswipe with an attitude, NOTA BENE, same business, same exact customers, same exact purchases and sales and work orders, customers avoided him like the plague he was.

Brother A spent ever more of his time rebuilding bridges that Brother B was busy burning down.

The business collapsed.

(counts on fingers) 13 or 14 years on, Brother A worked for someone else for a time then set up his own business, which is still going along, no helicopter / yacht / private island but he is making a living and gets all his work from word of mouth.

Brother B has had at least 6 or 7 jobs, been pushed or either jumped before being pushed from all the previous ones, and still thinks all customers should treat him with respect because he is da man (ager) and he can act as he fucking pleases, but he's been unemployed since May when his court case came up and he was banned for DD so he lost his job too, of course that was everyone else's fault too.

Contrary to opinion, I don't actually believe that the men on Fab are worse than the women on Fab (or couples) or vice versa, there is a significant minority of all, it is just that if you are a heterosexual single female you're unlikely to encounter it in males and so on.

The majority of my meets have gone like this! I know 'instantly' weather its going to be taken further.

Albeit I've never changed my 'time' allowance whilst there, and I have been known to chat to some lovely guys for hrs. But I have also used 'excuses' when that time allowance has trailed on.

I don't feel great for doing it and do feel guilty at times but i just couldn't bring myself to take it further and lower my esteem afterwards.

I've also been 'victim' to last min cancellations: hence the break I'm having from meets at the min. It can seek knock your confidence!

Run that 'assume' bit by me again?? You are 'assuming' that he had made his mind up before he went?? Do you know the chap she met? Why is he the bad guy? The issue is with the OP not him. He met for a social which went no further. That's all!

he had already made his mind up before he even went through the door i feel for you its like his second choice

plenty of more swingers on here that's what i say but it is very annoying indeed

it was prob you weren't good enough for you

kind regards Michelle xxx

Exactly.....but there there, poor little princess

You seem to have taken an issue with the OP on this thread, maybe not, but it's how I read it unfortunately. It makes me wonder why? The OP has said several times it's her issue, why keep on going back to this??

It's happened to me...was on another site, got chatting to a guy, found that we had a lot in common. Messages, texts, long phone calls, the whole lot. Then we arranged to meet. He didn't make an effort to dress smartly, was in a scruffy T-shirt and cargos. We met at a pub on the riverside and we ended up chatting about the swans! The spark that had been there on the phone was not there in real-life. He left me rather abruptly, (rudely I thought) and made some comment about my having had another meet recently. I was disappointed, especially as we had hit it off on-line, but you have to move on.

Because of my right to freedom of speech that's why. If it annoys you then tough. The OP came on here with the opening lines of "Made you look" all flippant and casual then gave a bleeding heart story on a public forum for people who pay their FAB subscription to have their view. It is my view that she comes across as a spoiled little Princess who got a knock back. That is my opinion....and I haven't even sworn, so actually I'm not doing too badly today

Indeed, but if I was given the choice of meeting a guy for 15 mins on his way to another meet, or a nice evening with nsa drinks n chat, guess which one I'd go for? And most others would be the same.

People are bending so far backwards to prove the OP is some sort of special snowflake they're completely missing the fact she had no idea he was going to do that. I'd feel shit too.

People are mean on here today, jeez... I think at the point she admitted that she thought the issue was internal, any sob story was squashed. She's taken personal responsibility and (looks like) steps to grow.

Some of the comments on here go on like you've never been human and just reacted badly to something.

She's dealt with this maturely (not perfectly) in my opinion and if this was a guy I'd commend him for looking internally and growing.

Keep moving forward!

Thank you to all that have contributed to this post constructively whether I agreed or disagreed with your opinion I respect your view. I understand that I have to move on and such is life it will only make my skin thicker.

As for those that have resorted to insulting me like I'm an ignorant child who "didn't get her way", I think your thinking has more to say about you than it does me. Low blows don't bother me, maybe look internally yourself.

"I think what's bugging me is that I felt judged in that short instance and never got to be me."

It's a natural human trait to judge quickly unfortunately.

It sounds to me like he didn't like the look of you in person and didn't know how to handle it.

Having said that, I'm hoping you don't like the thought of him now, after he did that, and he's just someone you once met

Because I speak my mind and possibly what others are thinking? Because I won't bow down?

I kinda feel like if you're going to be a dick, you should just admit it and just be shameless about it.

The whole "speaking my mind" thing isn't really what's going on, a whole range of people have spoken their mind without being a dick about it. Of course if you want to be a dick that's fine, but I don't think it's justifiable under the banner of "speaking your mind" or "saying what others are thinking" I think that is a cop out for being irresponsible with your word. A very common cop out at that.

I'm not sure calling someone shallow because they decide they didn't fancy fucking someone but if so then vice versa also. We've all had rejections on here, especially the single guys. The OP is right in her later post when she says she's dwelling on it too much.

He sounds like a rather ill mannered individual if he mentioned in the first minute of meeting that he had to meet a friend . Ill manners is a reflection on him , not you .

Hi there

I scan read the replies. Perhaps he'd read some of the suggestions on a recent thread about "get out options" when you don't fancy someone.

. Don't sweat it. Who knows he might have been a really nice guy, just realised really quickly you weren't for him.

Sure it knocks anyone back a little but everyone can't fancy everyone.

He didn't fancy you. You know the drill... Dust down. Move on... No one did anything wrong.

You need to think about the decent guys that have messaged you but weren't your cup of tea how many people go on meets then decide "nah not for me" isn't that the idea of a social meet? You might have liked him but get over it I'm sure there's plenty of blokes who have had the same treatment but that's life

Actually just remembered wife had a very similar social. She knew beforehand he didn't have much time as it was his dinner hour.

She got to the pub first, got herself a drink, he sat down didn't even bother buying a drink. She hadn't finished her drink by the time he'd gone.

Was she bothered? No. It happens.

I'd even forgot about it this whole duration of the thread which tells you it's behind us.

Most posts that one reads through are more often than not filled with replies/comments which are more reflective of a 'bee in the bonnet' or personal bugbear that someone carries and wants to air rather than the OP. Makes for interesting reading when viewing their profiles too.

Mae....There have been lots of good understanding posts here and many of us understand the inner frustrations associated with meets that don't go as we hope. It'spart of the learning curve of FAB. Some become very thick skinned and ccallused over time which I understand but isn't endearing. ...some stay soft inside, but inveriably suffer a bit...but they actually are the ones one wants to meet here...continue to be a nice one to meet and those who get the chance will appreciate it even more. All the best

Quite possibly, in the future, you may have a similar reaction to a guy you arrange to meet face to face, and think nothing of it yourself. Don't take it so personal, if it's not working for the both of you, don't try to make it happen, just move on. Sorry if this sounds like a predictable reply
