The let down...

I just wanted to vent briefly here. A few weeks ago I met a guy and we hit it off...seemed to have a lot in common and compatible personalities. We've been out a bunch of times and it's obvious to me that although I really want it to work, it's not going to. I was really hoping he would turn out to be someone I could be with for a while. He's still a great guy but 'it's' just not there I don't see any reason in continuing things just for fun.

It's kinda ironic how you can be single for months and not feel lonely and then after seeing somebody for a few weeks and ending it you feel lonely! Of course now I'm left wondering, when will the next one come along and what will he be like?

Thanks for listening...I'm sure so many of you can relate!

yup, i can relate too. sometimes it feels almost as bad to reject someone as it does to be rejected, because you doubt yourself, wonder if you're being too picky, etc. but you just have to hold out and try to be happy with your life until the right person comes along. at least that's what they tell me ; )

I know how you feel.
I've had to reject someone who seemed like every girls dream.
His own 3 bedroom house which he lived alone, luxury car, nice 3 figure salary at a top fortune company and well mannered and secure.
But I just didn't feel anything for him physically or any type of connection emotionally and had to pass. I felt really bad but did not want to waste his time. I feel like my rejecting him will bite me in the arse. I hate it and like some one said, it's just as hard rejecting someone as being rejected.

Totally goin through the same thing. Despite feeling really lonely and sad, but know that i made the right decision. Even though the guy wasn't right, the loss still hurts, cause it's one more guy and hopes down the drain. Getting back into the dating game is always hard, so keeping busy and getting out there will help you deal.
