Nice top & jeans sounds ideal for a drink date.

Good luck, hope you enjoy yourself!

ooh, so exciting. I miss that kind of excitement I used to feel when dp and I first met.

Jeans and top sound great. Have a brilliant night and don't forget to come back and tell us how it went

Can you go round to a mates instead, or have any child free mates who dont need a sitter at short notice?

How rubbish. Obviously you deserve better but that is little consolation I know.

i can go out still, but feeling really low, my self confidence is crappy now!

was just wanting to meet him, i met him ondating site, becuase there r no men round here!!!

Irs the rejection thing, knocks me flat. It was all cool last night, he seemed really excited about it. He knows how hard it is for me to get a sitter.

feel like i should just wipe him out tbh, i just dont trust anyone these days.

You and me both pirategirl. I felt crap most of last week largely thanks to self esteem shattering blow dealt by toss pot date idiot.

Aw PG, so sorry, how rotten

Don't give up on it yet. I know it's bad form to cancel, especially if it's been arranged for a while but he could be telling the truth and it could be a very important family dinner that would be frowned upon if he didn't attend - Mums birthday etc.

Go out with some mates instead tonight and have fun

Do you reckon it's internet dating that makes it so blooming difficult or is dating just a nightmare full stop?

Report
pirategirl · 15/09/2007 17:56

internet has its dificulites, but so does real life.

guess we are all just people, but its hard to guage online.

I had been thru the whole please be honest convos with him, and you have to trust people dont you.

As he trusted me, i dunno, i have no answers.

piratey - sorry to hear youre not going out. dont go thinking he's making excuses, he could live round the corner and still have last minute plans sprung on him that he cant get out of. just treat it as you would anything else - a pain in the arse - and then plan when you can next get together. and hoping you get on well

Oh poo!! I know the feeling if its any consolation. Its hard to give the benefit of the doubt, one side of you is wary and the otherside just wants to be wanted, balancing the two is challenging to say the least.

The whole dating thing is a steep learning curve!!

I feel your frustration
