A meet results in knocked confidence

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

So recently I have had a meet, I have had meets in the past which always seemed to go well. However the latest one I had wasn’t great. Just felt very flat, rushed and if I was there just to do a job like a workman. However it has knocked my confidence in a big way and left me doubting myself. Was i selfish? Did the person not find me attractive? Did I do something wrong? (And about a million other questions)

Just wondered if anyone else had found themselves in a similar situation and what they did to remedy the way they felt ?

I have tried to contact said member but too no response

Don’t let it knock you! Not everyone is going to click it’s just how it is. Would have been nice if she could have let you know but onwards and upwards!

We don't like rushed meets either so added to our profile...

"Prefer warmth in a meet, kissing, oral and so on, a meet without I find boring and cold."

Just don't let it knock your confidence, just be more upfront on your profile about what you like

hiding from cock pics.

Sometimes the chemistry is not there, or somebody's worried about other things, or has something going on that you are completely unaware of.

It might be nothing whatsoever to do with you.

Get back on that horse, and ride it.

Don’t worry about it.... this happens to everyone at some point.

It may not feel like it now... but one day this bad meet will become a funny story to tell your friends.

I think we've all had our confidence knocked along the way. Don't be hard on yourself and take a bit of time to lick your wounds.

You are obviously thinking about where it went wrong during the meet, all I can say is learn from it but don't dwell on it.

Good time's are on the horizon

Thanks for everyone who has commented so far, suppose I should just get on with it and remember the meets that went well. And a little tweaking on my profile won’t hurt either.

With every meet there is a chance it won't click. You try as much as you can to load the dice in favour of success by chatting, pictures, social but at the end if the day if once you are there the sexual chemistry is missing, well it just is. It is not your fault and it is not her fault, it is one of those things that happens now and then. No need to over analyse it, just put it down to experience and look forward to your next adventure.

OP it happens, don't dwell on it.

I've had meets where it was fantastic on the first meet and we had a repeat that was just a bit meh. I've been seeing my FB regularly for 18 months and sometimes we have a meet that isn't as good as usual.

Not every meet will be a great experience so you need to put it behind you and move on.

When on here as a single guy had a meet, got to the house, and hubby let me in and showed me to the living room.

The wife was naked on the sofa with legs spread wide

The fish smell hit me 6ft away

She then said " get that cock up in me now" , as we're going out in 30 mins

I turned round and left.

It is what happens....I normally (try to) arrange to meet socially first (though often it ends up as just meeting for fun, at their suggestion/request). At such socials I’ve been declined once.....though I’ve declined a few more times....

As the quoted post says....it’s just how it is.

I’ve also been to a few meets where the request was for “fuck and go” was that what was wanted in this case?

Exactly this.......all meets are experience in life, whether good, bad or mediocre. It's just part of life's journey. Get planning another meet with someone else and don't dwell on the past.

There and to the left a bit

This is one of the reasons I like to spend time getting to know people before suggesting/agreeing to meet them and ideally having an element of social first - there are no guarantees that there will be chemistry and connection in person of course, but by spending time messaging on here you can at least get a fair idea and at least establish that you're both looking for the same kind of meet.

That all said, sorry it happened to you OP - as others have said best thing you can do is try and put it behind you and move on

I wouldnt worry.

I recently had 2 meets. One where he refused to fuck me but was happy to do everything else.

And another that fucked me and did nothing else and abandoned me in a hotel room.

I was upset and not feeling too good about myself.

Since had a few great meets. Those people were just arseholes.

"This is one of the reasons I opt for a social meet first."

Agree totally with this. It gives you a chance to gauge if there's any chemistry. Not totally failsafe but generally works well as a filter.

With some people it just doesn't work out. Nothing to do with you, or the other person, it just happens.

Confidence will definitely come back at some point, but best to leave this one behind you and not contact the person.

Onwards and upwards!!

Hope you're feeling better soon x

I had a bad meet experience last year. I really liked him and had met a few times for socials. When it came down to the sex, I didn’t particularly find his body attractive and it was over so quickly and was pretty rubbish. Then I was basically told I had to leave straight away. I cried when I got in the car and really regretted it. We’ve spoken loads since and he seemed happy with the meet and wants to meet again but I don’t want to but haven’t had the guts to tell him

I had a similar experience with a man off another site. We had met for coffee twice and chatted for a couple of months. We started having sex, he lay on top of me for 5 mins doing nothing, then said "it's not working " then made it obvious he wanted me to leave, pretty much threw me out. He messages me if I rejoin that site asking to meet still! XXX

I forgot to add that I also felt my performance was rubbish, probably due to the fact I wasn’t attracted to him. Wasn’t all his fault it was equal I’d say xx

Seems weird he’d say it’s not working then still want to meet! I said to the guy sorry it wasn’t good and he was like it was amazing!! Don’t know if he’s trying to make me feel better or he actually enjoyed it

I've had meets where I've thought..oh dear..but don't blame myself as it's just a question of compatibility.

Often with these meets the guy thought it was great and wants to meet again ..so keep in mind that just because you felt it wasnt brilliant,she may have!

It's perhaps little surprise the person hasn't replied, if they either got what they needed and realized there was something missing for you. Things can come at the wrong time, so it's not perhaps you or them, just a situational thing.

Focus on now and the future. Rebuild your self-esteem and confidence. Ensure you know what you need from meets and communicate well in advance, to help filter out what could knock you again. Rethink your expectations, to ensure realistic etc and possibly change other things you do, in case they aren't 100% in your best interests. Be here for the lighter fun aspects and ensure your wellbeing is looked after

ive had many failed meets with men who offer promises of lots of sex and orgasms. even entertained the idea of lots of oral because they say they LOVE to give it.

i explain to them that im far from pretty.

but it still happens one bloke drove 50 mins, stamina to go all night, he loves bbws, wanted to make me orgasm as much as he could.

he came got naked had me suck his cock, stuck a condom onbent me over few thrusts told me lie back few thrusts spunked and he got up took his clothes went bathroom and gone. wasnt even 15 mins.

had no intention of doing anything more than a hole

ive met too many men like it. some ive dragged out the getting to know you more and theyve made all that effort for 10 15 mins and then have the cheek to ask can they come again when they are gagging few months down the line, because theyve messed everyone else about too.

some men have lasted bit longer then its oh god i got to go look at the time. but hey hang on you said you had all night!!

so yeah confidence issues plummet. im left feeling like im only used as a free whore. no mutual playtime. when what i want is more than 1 offs. they plead and swear they want a fuck buddy or sexual companion.

then comes the verifications. they expect one but dont give one. some dont even show the verification. as if im an embarrassment to have been with. even when its socially.

but they still keep asking to meet up again.

forgive one time but 2nd time then im the fool really.

so moral of the story. you can be as strict in your process of meeting people, youll always find ones break through. best to move on to the next person and hope they are a decent human being, and one that is looking for the same thing as you

Oh so this...

Had our confidence knocked a while back, just after we had just met a gorgeous couple, and it took us a while to "get up" for wanting to meet anybody. The gorgeous couple are people we respect and we've had to put off meeting for a while, not for anything they've done but life stuff is in the way.

Thankfully, some of this is date dependent and will be passed soon and we've an evening arranged with another really special pair that we both adore and if any confidence issue arise (or not) from this evening, they aren't the type to judge us and block us. This will hopefully go to plan and we can finally get back in the saddle with the other couple we both had planned to hoo up with originally.

So hang in there OP, things aren't always what they seem, and even if they do resemble what you think, your time on here isn't dependent on a previous relationship.

Socials, weeks of chatting and care to be honest about what you look like and expect are all filters, but sometimes people just slip through, or they’re having a bad time elsewhere and it spills over into a bad meet. Or the chemistry just doesn’t work. It’s almost like they just don’t *smell* sexy. It sounds like it was at least as much her issue as yours, don’t beat yourself up and look for the next sexy fun person. You look lovely! Good luck!

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us....

It’s the same for single guys.... you meet a couple they love you. It was the best experience they ever had.. you’re number one. Then the first time you tell them no you can’t make it... boom.... they ask you “ do you have any friends available? “ or just get the next guy online... it doesn’t knock my confidence... I just hate to hear the bull shit....
