I Am Single

I'm recently back on the dating scene after a nasty divorce and I gotta ask.
WTF!?
Literally, why is dating so awful? Why can't anyone just be honest. I've never had a problem with be straightforward and telling someone if I wasn't interested.
The few people I've tried with have been... well...
1. First date was great. Second he Got wasted before he showed up and cracked his face open on my tile then had the audacity to ghost me after I cleaned up his blood and he had spent the last several weeks telling me how much he liked me.
2. Kept sending me provocative photos and telling me things like "my tongue is liberating" and general sexy talk. Then I decided to reciprocate one time and all of a sudden I was the hoe moving too fast and he wasn't ready for a physical relationship. All I said was "I'd like to be making out right about now too."
3. Someone I ran into from high school. Everything seemed to be going ok and then I got a message from his wife two states over that I didn't know about. Didnt even know he didn't lived here anymore. Apparently he was just in town to care for an elderly relative.
4. Dude that wants to talk to me constantly over text but if I ask to hang out he just doesn't write me back and then the next day pretends like he fell asleep and resumes the texting. We hung out once and he said he had a great time. But completely dodges hanging out again, I quit the texting for obvious reasons of not wanting to be led on.

😮.... you look very cute... just bad luck ?

@TexChik thanks. I don't think it's so much bad luck as I live in the Bible Belt and I'm not blonde, a size 00, or pretend to be a demure Christian girl while really blacking out at barn parties every weekend.

@SansaDeLaRue Hahahahaha! Not all men are such flakes . Maybe they aren’t used to a woman that’s brave and outgoing. 🤷🏻‍♀️. Lots of good’ns in Texas ! 😁
Porn and internet have really changed people

I gave up dating nearly a decade ago, that said, the past few years people have gotten ridiculously un-civil
SansaDeLaRue · 31-35, F
@RoxClymer see, I just don't remember it being that bad before. I don't want to give up and just settle with being lonely but I don't want to keep doing this either.
RoxClymer · 41-45, M
That what I am saying, it was't this, it's the Idiocracy-style time we are living in, I wouldn't say 'give up' but do give it some time, this world is really fuckin' crazy right now and it needs some time to figure it's shit out.

That's a quote for the books, "the world is really fucking crazy right now and it needs some time
To figure its shit out"

Sounds as bad as my experiences but in a different way. I was married for years and thought i'd never have to go through this crap again... but here we are

Sounds par for the course. A few people tend to suck these days, but there are some genuine ones out there.

It's easier to find chicken teeth than a good date.

Dating sucks if you suck at it
Sounds like you have met almost the full collection of zeros. Dating is a necessary evil. I sometimes just step back and go "why"? But then you get lonely--horny---in need of companionship and you open up again. Kind of an endless circle. I can relate.

Oh I feel your pain... I have given up on online dating. Tinder is my go to ap and it’s just for sex. No strings. Mr right cannot be found online ...
SansaDeLaRue · 31-35, F
@FoolishLuna it's not online though. I meet these people out in public or through friends. One of them started messaging me over Facebook but we sort of knew each other before that. Knew OF each other I should say. Small town.

Oh I know why live in a really small town@SansaDeLaRue

Relationships are hard. Ended up finding my wife by introduction from a high school friend I kept in touch with.

I suspect your experiences are typical. It is a tough world out there. Not every stone is a gem, sometimes they are just a rock.

I'm sorry that happened to you. I never have been in a relationship and I'm 24 :'( . Girls just do not like me.

It must be nice not just being 'no' every time you try XD
SansaDeLaRue · 31-35, F
@SW-User that my point. It's been NO every time I try. Not necessarily a straight rejection- I'm not the one doing the asking at first. Just more they show interest in me but the second I show it back they run. I could understand if I was being real weird and clingy. But I'll just say "yeah I like you too" and then boom I never hear from them again.
SW-User
@SansaDeLaRue Ah I see. What I meant was that you're already doing better than me; they take one look at me and you can see the disinterest on their faces XD Anyway, I'm sorry that you've been dealing with that so much.

Dating shares lots of parallels with car shopping.
1. It's painful and time consuming;
2. You must do research;
3. Thankfully, you only need one. Oh, and
4. Kick it if you don't like it(not recommended).
