BJP56 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I feel hurt, abandoned, angry, sadden, confused, and frustrated. That about sums up my first pre date experience at age 31. NoW I remember why I didn't date in the first place. Eight years of being lonely, I guess I am not meant for anyone. Had high hopes and I get knocked down. Link to post Share on other sites
learning_slowly Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Did you get everything correct first time? The strongest people are the ones that get knocked down and learn from it and get back up and try again. Don't be such a weak individual. Are you possibly aiming too high? There's people in the world who are living through wars and you're worried you got rejected once! Try again!! Link to post Share on other sites
preraph Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Always be grateful when a relationship blows up before it ever gets started -- it's the ones you waste years on that you have real regrets about. Being quickly rejected is really nothing you should internalize or dwell on. They weren't the right person. Forget about them but be glad they didn't waste your time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
spiderowl Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 On date (or lack of it) doesn't mean every date will go that way. Why on earth should they? It would be irrational to assume that. I'd work on the basis that you both got out of that one before you became more attached. Keep a bit distant next time until you are starting to see each other often. No point falling for someone when you hardly know them and don't know how it's likely to go. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Author BJP56 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 I will never understand how things can go so well for the last 6 months only to have my happiness crushed in a single day. Yes I will move on, as soon as, I rethink myself. Link to post Share on other sites
hoping2heal Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Wut? If I applied your dating philosophy to the act of living, I'd probably think I wasn't meant to live. Rejections, mishaps, false starts, lost love..happens to most of us and it's normal. It isn't a sign from the universe to be "forever alone". Link to post Share on other sites
