Sigh looks like i'll end up with an overweight, 40 year old with a dog staff and a pint on the table.. Most of the girls i've wanted to go out with have basically took me for a joy ride and stopped contacting me or wasted my time the day before a date

Sigh again :(

Lol wtf..

I'm currently messaging 4 and a half rather handsome fellas on PoF :D
I say 4 and a half because I don't know if the 5th one is a fitty yet, need to see more pics of him... I must say though, the standard of men is getting better on PoF! :p

Juggling eh? :p

Was that through PoF? That is a big age gap, if I was with a woman 17 years my senior she'd be almost as old as my mom!

She's 4 years younger than my mum and easily old enough to be mine! I'm just 26, she's 43.

Yeah, a bit crazy so not at all too serious. I got a wink from her on Zoosk when I tried it out and realised it was naff. Her profile had a subtle clue about her name and she said find me on FB, so I did. We've been chatting for a long time since then and met up recently.

That's cool. :)

Have you told your mom? Mine would be freaked out I think.
 
Arrrgh, had a crap evening last night.

Quick back story, met a girl in a pub/bar a week and half a go, we got on really well, had a date last Thursday, had an amazing night and ended up kissing. We've been chatting every day since then, we get on so well, loads in common, and she is exactly what I've been looking for all these years in terms of sense of humour, ambition, interests, etc. She is good looking, but not my usual type.

I saw her again on Sunday and again we had an amazing evening together.

However, I've only been single for 3 months, so definitely not looking to get into anything serious right now, and this was playing on my mind as I knew she was really very keen on me. We got chatting on Facebook last night and I was honest with her about this, to cut a long story short she has now deleted me and says we can't see each other. It's completely fair enough. She said she wasn't expecting commitment now obviously, but she would at least like to casually date someone who at least entertained the idea of a relationship.

I know it's probably for the best, but can't help but feel I'm missing out on something. Fortunately for her I'm not a complete git otherwise I wouldn't have said anything at all, the last thing I want to do is give her false hope.

Anyway, just wanted to get that off my chest and I guess seek reassurance that I've done the right thing.

You did the right thing.

I miss Helen. Can't you make that work?

Dunno about that, 3 months is a decent period to shake of the remnants of a previous relationship. 6 months+ is ideal, but if you meet someone a cut above the norm, it's better to not waste that, as they don't come around often.

It took me 2 years to really get over my ex so I guess it's different for everyone.

However, I believe if you do meet the right person that time can easily shorten as it has for me before.

Good on you SS for letting her know how you feel.

I think women get over relationships much quicker than men do, contrary to common belief. Heartless m***** *****rs.

No. That didn't work because she didn't do what I did last night. She came out of a 7 year relationship and got with me after 5 weeks. Definitely not good timing.

Trouble is, I was in a 2+ year relationship, when that ended I was single for 5-6 weeks, then got into another 2 year relationship. I think I need at least 6 months, if not more to just be a bit selfish with my time, see my friends and have some fun.

Maybe deep down I realise it isn't right then. I know it's a little shallow, but I'm not 100% certain I fancied this girl as much as I wish I did.

I feel I've done the right thing even though it was a shame.

That's because women tend to end relationships emotionally and mentally 6 months before they actually tell you. :p
