KK I don't have it out for you but I will call you on your $hit. I'm not a physchologist but I do tend to think you are a nacarssist and I was raised by one and I know they can do a lot of damage to innocent people trying to get what they want. I would love to see you trust the process but you are always right and the rest of us are wrong so I don't know why we bother? Guess that's on us.



Again... wow...

That left me in a serious bucket of tears.

I'll admit that I've not been in the best head space since BD. I probably have anxious attachment style - working on it. I'm certain none of my close friends would feel the same as you do. I'm the one who is typically taken advantage of... if anything I have been told I'm polyannaish, that is probably true. And, that is probably why your post made me cry.

Hey KitKat,

Hang in there. Don't let anyone on this board bully you or make you feel badly about yourself. Your thread gets a lot of action because people here care about you and and want to see you happy and healed. We think your H is a d-bag who isn't worth your a second of your continued angst, and it is painful to see you go through so many contortions over the drips of communication with him (or the absence of it), and the hope we see peeking through on your end with every interaction.

People recommend IC because they think it will help you. I know you had some bad experiences in the past, but maybe a life coach instead will be helpful to you-- a different approach and very forward-facing. People are trying to tell you things maybe in different ways, hoping that you'll hear them if they try different approaches.

But you are the only one who truly knows your sitch. No-one here really knows you. I think it is great that you have this outlet to share your most difficult thoughts so that IRL you can buckle up and go about your day. So take what you read with a grain of salt, find what resonates with you and try it out.

And dating? Since when was a single date a contract between two people to do anything besides meet and share a meal or a drink and see if they like each other? So what if she isn't wanting sex or a LTR right now? What's the difference between her not wanting that with anyone and her not feeling the spark with this dude in the moment? Honestly, it seems to me like one date is no big deal and probably helped KK a lot to just get out there and know she still has it. Her date at worst had a wasted night, no different than if it were with a woman he ended up not thinking he was compatible with at the end of the evening. it isn't like she's talking about stringing him along for months.(Right, KK??)

Hope you have a great week.

I don't know what to tell you...

I have several profiles on my match that simply state - looking for friendship only, looking to hang out...

Yes, I agree the majority are looking for LTR. But, the others do exist. I'm honest in my profile so anyone chatting with me is 100% aware.

YOU were looking for LTR potential... that's what you found... or almost found I guess. Its not all that's there though.

Thank you for getting it... seriously.

This particular guy shared with me his opinions of this app versus other apps. Shared that woman tend to lie heavily about their age... posted dated pictures. He shared a particular date with someone who lied about their age by 10yrs. He wasn't so against dating someone of her age but rather that she lied about it.

He appreciated my honesty.

I went into this with the mindset to relax and have a good time. Try and have some great conversation (lets not forget I'm not only without my spouse I'm also now an empty nester.) I don't think I took advantage of anyone.

Thank goodness I'm medicated because that comment really cut me quite deeply - I lost it. I did reach out to a long time friend and asked for their opinion and did it line up... he said I was the furthest thing from narcissistic.

That being said I do see where someone would feel that I'm not listening and I writing that I'm always right. I guess, again all I can say is that I do listen. I stew on things and mull them over. I write out every thought in my head as its how I process information... I apologize here over and over and sort through my issues here because IRL I can say nothing to him. This is my only outlet.

I do have somewhat of a life coach for the last 7 months... life coach on a budget.. LOL... I need to upgrade so I'm working on that.

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
