I'm so fed up with online dating. It could be any kind of dating but online is the way I've been meeting guys for the past while and all I've been doing is getting hurt. I know all about developing a tough skin and all that but I can't seem to do that. The thing that really did it for me was with the past guy I dated. He just asked me this past Thurs if I wanted to do something Sat night and we agreed and discussed all of the details, it would've been the third date, but he decided to go to a friend's place Fri night, that is two hours away and told me he'd be back in time to pick me up and go out. It never happened. He said he had car trouble, which I don't know if I should believe or not. He did call and tell me that and that we would do something some other time. I knew that he was letting me down as easily as possible, I'm not stupid. He contacted me on IM today and we chatted for a bit but he never mentioned anything about seeing me again and didn't care when I told him that I was emailing another guy. This one really bothered me and I don't want to keep going through this. It gets me down too much.

I know it is intensely frustrating. I am back at it, too, after 3 and a half months and I totally dread it, but find that it does help me to jump back in.

I'm going to wait and let more people contact me this time, instead of chasing them...I'm going to try at least.

I just went back to it as well & I'm not looking forward to all the disappointments & frustrations....however, as a friend told me, if you want to catch a fish, you have to go fishing.

I'm sorry to hear about your latest frustration....it just stinks when these things happen.
