After several months of dating Mark (3 1/2 months to be exact), I am now single once again for about a month. Mark had many issues going on in his life. It is actually too painful for me to go into detail right now, but I will say that I hope that we will get back together again at some point--maybe when he has some issues resolved. In the meantime, I do not want to exclude the possibility of meeting someone else.
I had put my profile back up on yahoo and immediately got messaged from a guy (Rob) I had talked with online several different times last year. I felt that we were not a match and that he and I would argue. He was sort of blunt in everything that I could surmise about him, but then again, I'm sort of blunt as well. Not as much as this guy is, but I am not into games and pretty much say what I mean. This Rob wanted to meet me, and I was reluctant to meet him but agreed to anyway yesterday. I drove about 30 miles to a nearby city and he drove almost an hour to get there. As soon as I saw the guy, I could see that he didn't look much like his photo. He was very unappealing and his personality was not any better in person than it was via phone or instant message. However, I thought I was being judgemental in not at least meeting him after all this time.
It was a mistake though. The guy wanted a lot of hugs and kisses right off the bat, which was NOT the way to win me over. Forget the fact that he was extremely overweight and unkept looking; again, nothing like his photo. I also realized through this dismal experience that I am not over Mark and am not ready to date anyone at this point. Maybe a month is not long enough to get over someone. Rob also had broken up with someone around the same time, but claims that that is over with and done with and that I just need to move on. Easier said than done. My profile is again hidden because I just cannot deal with more heartache and disappointment.

Aww, mitsy, I'm very sorry to hear that things are over with your guy.
Sorry to hear that, Mitsy...and it definitely sounds like a break from dating is in order.
