Question - (29 June 2008) 0 Answers - (Newest, )
A female United Kingdom age , anonymous writes:

It's been a year since I split from my ex partner. He played mind games and made me feel I was going mad,because he wanted a relationship with someone he works with.

Anyway a few months ago I joined a dating site and have had a few meets.

some were ok , some not, hit it off with a couple, but then they dumped me too - so my confidence takes more knocking.

Anyway, I met a man last night and we really hit it off. He asked to see me again next weekend.

But already I am insecure, because,

1. he texted me to say he got home - but didn't mention the date

2. i said i enjoyed the date very much - no acknowledgemnt that he did.

3. i said i thought he was sexy - nothing about what he thought of me...

then i logged on the net this morning hoping he would have emailed on how he thought it had gone - but nothing (although he had logged onto his dating site)

He was complimentary on the date - there was no sex, but we kissed and cuddled and I enjoyed that as it has been a while since I had any physical contact and i fancied him..

Now what?

I want to write to him, to say how much i enjoyed last night, but daren't incase he thinks I am pushy or needy.

I really liked this man but I did read somewhere, if they are too good to be true, they usually are

and I keep thinking, why would he want to see me again?

I get lots of compliments when I am out socialising and I am told I am easy to approach and friendly. But......my head is telling me he is player as he was sooo confident and I so don't want to be hurt again, but I don't want to miss out on someone because I have been so hurt.

I am putting myself out there, so know it will happen but how do i protect myself emotionally?
