Many thanks!


EDIT: And now to deal with the utterly crazy Italian one who won't see me until she's sure I'm not a psycho or a player - but gives me nothing apart from one line answers or speaks in fking tongues. Total enigma... is this what online dating is all about?

Newly single again as of 12 hours ago.

I've been seeing a girl on/off for the past two years and it was most definitely on this time, with serious future talks, kids, house etc, I felt that things had taken a massive step forward and for once I was happy.

She became ill on Thursday, I was working away and couldn't get home until Friday night, sent her some flowers on Friday to cheer her up a little and came home Friday night to a massive argument based on me "not making enough effort"

Cue yesterday, up early as I had loads to do, made sure she was ok and left. Few texts during the day, gets a call around 5 to see what time I'll be home, my answer of 6.30 latest is met with dogs abuse about how I don't care she's ill blah blah.
I eventually rock up after 8 to give her time to calm down, take off my work boots, and it appears she's far from calm.
Flys into a rage, punches thrown at me, one of my boots used as a hammer to the head, and she then has the ordacity to claim she's going to call the police and have me arrested for attacking her.

Needless to say, I grabbed my boots, keys and left sharpish.

She text later, more abuse and not even a hint of an apology.

was this the first time she's exhibited signs of this type of st?

I knew she "could" be a bit nuts if pushed (what woman isn't) but that was the first time I have seen and experienced her at that level of craziness

Sad thing is I'd taken so long to get over the breakup of my relationship with my sons mother some 3 years ago and crazychick was the only girl I've allowed into my life since, all for nothing

[All that jazz]

I'm with others on this one : what exactly what this "illness" you/she speaks of? Are we talking just a common cold or something life changing? If the former then fair dos, fk her off for being mental, but if it's something "big" and you pretty much ignored her and carried on with your life as normal then I can kinda understand her reaction.

Hi, thanks for meeting up with me today. It was nice chatting to you, but I don't want to take it any further. Best wishes

I appreciate they both say the same thing but the former is a lot nicer than the latter which comes across as quite abrupt and cold, imho.

or what about "thank you for your recent application to be my life long partner, I have other candidates to see and will get back you if I wish to progress your application to the next stage".

I agree - the second one is just cold and unnecessary!

It was a virus of some sort. Sickness and the trots, nothing life changing.

Or do. And then block her.

Who gives a st? It's better to be clear than dance around it surely. It's not like people expect a 10 page essay on justification for not wanting to see them again, or have such low self esteem that they require a let down bookended by compliments. It's internet dating.

Indeed, I always preferred, "Yo bh, your gag reflex too active, get that sorted before contacting me again."

[Bluesgirl]

Did you get that often then?

Second date down and it went well. Sorting a third for the weekend.

What would people suggest? First was a drink that turned into a meal, second was a meal, both have agreed something other than food. I don't want to do the cinema, as can't really talk! Someone suggested bowling, but I'm not a huge fan of it (mainly because I'm st!).

Any ideas would be welcome! Friend did suggest ice skating which I like the idea of (despite being bambi on ice!).

Bowling and ice-skating are both fine if you're both 15 years old.

[Ki3r]

Kinda set myself up for that one didn't I?!

Although not a pleasant experience. Forgotten though did you go there after work?
