And all the time we won't be spending the weekend wondering why he hasn't called yet, sulking after a row or posting horrifically embarrassing drunken love declarations on FB (not that I'm saying you or I would, but my latest guilty pleasure is seeing my FB feed on a Saturday morning & laughing at the drunken and not yet deleted stuff my mates have posted & passed ouy on)..........
Saturday girl just back in touch ..some sort of family emergency and said she would explain so ill give the benefit of the doubt although I did make her wait for an answer to the text (childish I know )
so Saturday is still on which im quite pleased about as she does seem a genuinely nice lady
I am feeling a bit better after allowing myself a few rants and tears. I've had a couple of nice messages on POF as well.
I hear what you are saying JAB - but I am pretty good at picking myself up after disappointment. I let it hit me last night and no doubt i'll feel it again but I feel ok about continuing for the time being. Sometimes there is absolutely no one about that I could be interested in and now I seem to have 3 possibilities so will see how they go.
It's like I crash occasionally. Like you MISSPG I'm fine and enjoying life, then my energy goes and I allow all the negativity in and let myself have a good wallow for a bit. It's only natural though I guess. If I didn't i'd be a robot.
I think we all do that sometimes, dating (especially online) can be really brutal sometimes, and it involves a lot of rejection. The thing about POF, and other sites I suppose, is that you can have good weeks and bad weeks, and new blood joins every day. Best of luck x

We all like a wallow and a rant occasionally as long as you're feeling better afterwards that the main thing
Actually, I could do with a right old rant myself as it happens but its not dating related so off to GD with me....
posting horrifically embarrassing drunken love declarations on FB
I thought only teenagers did stuff like that! I saw a meme (and usually I dislike these) recently about how the best relationships have no sign of them on Facebook. So true!
It is. Though other people's relationship stuff on facebook can entertain me to a degree (the person who moans constantly about her husband and then on valentines day states he's the 'best hubby in the world' - you really shouldn't post up stuff like that on there. It's disrespectful.
I met someone for the first time on Thursday but it didn't work, we both agreed. But another man I'd been out with twice and I thought we were getting along really well because we has so much in common but he called today to say he just wanted to be friends. Which is basically a slap in the face really isn't it!
Anyway, feeling low anyway because I lost my job today and this just made me feel even worse and now I'm wondering what the hell is wrong with me.
It seemed like a good place to rant, having read others!

Hey Friday night is a bit light for responses. Very sorry to hear you lost your job today which would be the most of my worries. So I think the man worries can wait a bit. All the best
Sorry forgot to add I'm sure there is nothing up with you like there isn't with anyone else on here

Ah the perils of posting while slightly drunk.
Thank you for the response though, feeling a bit more positive this morning.

I should have welcomed you better last night, feel free to post about your dating woes. Good to hear you're feeling more positive today, never think that there's something wrong with you though.
My replies last night were the culimination of what must be the 9 millionth Friday night sat in alone so apologies if I offended anyone, I was a bit fed up

Rant away! This is a supportive thread, we only want the very best for each other on here. Sorry to hear about your recent rubbish luck. I'm sure there's absolutely nothing wrong with you though, things can change for the positive so quickly sometimes.

I think this is part and parcel of online dating. You're not alone.

I'm so sorry about this. There's nothing wrong with you, and you shouldn't link how you do at work with success/failure in online dating. Have you started looking for another job or are you going to take a couple of days or some time to process it. Good luck with the search.
Well considering I'm supposed to meeting "Saturday girl " I'm 40 minutes and haven't heard from her all morning I think I can safely say that we aren't meeting ... I'm just glad I didn't leave home and left standing there like a plank
I mean is it too much for a text saying I've reconsidered or can't meet something's come up

Thanks. Not going to start looking straight away as waiting for an operation to sort out sinus issues which is why I lost my job in the first place.

Thanks. I've been on eharmony a couple of months now, had a quite a lot of interest at first but seems to have gone completely dead recently, although I've just started talking to a couple of new men. Also giving POF a go, since it's free.

Not childish at all- I prefer to refer to it as 'managing expectations' ;-)
Yeah im not at her beck and call i don't wait around
(shhh don't tell her i was stressing about it
And extremely needy & insecure types. Of all ages
As if I'd break the 'bro code' eh? My lips are sealed. ;-)
I'll probably miss all this one day
Ooh have a good un Mookle. I swear, everything comes to she/he who rants. That's my new motto

Your lack of sympathy and major self indulgence is outstanding well done

Agreed, not a city lawyer, but I've had to cancel dates short notice due to work. Give him a chance to reschedule.
