Bad Internet dating experience



ORIGINAL POST
Posted by yummy_cake 17 yrs ago
I met a guy overseas in the Internet. Last month I flew there to meet him. The first date went very well. On second date we had sex in his home.


Immediately after the sex, he aleady showed a change in attitude, not touching me. He even didn't come and stopped in the middle of the sex. So it's not a good sex.


More terrible, he wrote to me on the following day not to see each other as we wouldn't lead to a marriage. But I never mention to marry me in our dates or no hints of this at all.


It is very bad that on the remaing days of the trip, I was almost alone in a foreign country, being hurt and heart broken (maybe too soon to say this word for two dates, but don't know what other word to describe)


I felt very terrible and loss of pride and dignity, like a punch onto my face.


How come this guy is so cruel. If he find I 'm not his type, he 'd better not show interest to me or ask me to sleep, instead of doing this to me after that

I am sorry to hear about your experience. It sounds familiar, as i met exactly the same type of man a while ago. Luckily i didn't visit him, he came to HK.

But yes, very similar behaviour. He has since removed his profile, and disappeared into thin air. All my calls and emails went unanswered.


I think he might be married, or just a mental case.

By the way, is he German?

he is not a German. But I have been to his home, so I knew he's single. But I already knew he had something wrong immediately after the sex. So I didn't call him, and very sad that he didn't call at all even after I left


When I got back to HK, I got his email which was written on the day after the sex saying that he wouldn't want to see anymore because he felt that it wouldn't lead up to marriage. But I never mention that he should marry me on the dates

well, in this case another psycho to add to the list of men to watch out for.


The guy i met was very much into me during our first date, lots of sms, emails, he then came to HK again two weeks later, the build-up was amazing, so when we ended the evening in his hotel, i thought we both wanted the same thing.

He suffers from PE, so sex wasn't very good, but i didn't make a big deal of it, i was just as loving as i would have been in different circumstances, but his behaviour after sex was very weird, distant and very passive. He kept writing, and we arranged to meet up again, he never showed up.

if this is any consolation, at least you didn't date, write and called for months...you found out pretty soon what a messed up person he is.


It hurts because you invested time, and energy on this guy, and probably had high expectations, but in the end, you will forget him as soon as a nicer guy walks into your life. It happened to me, and though i am still pissed off, i understand that i will never get any closure from this jerk.


Just keep in mind that you didn't do anything wrong, he is the one with a massive problem.

I think ur friend's busy dating others as well now.


For my case, I thot there'll be a development potential, bcz the guy got an offer to work in HK. It's so cruel that he said we shouldn't meet anymore immediately after the sex even he'll work in HK the next month.


I look in the mirror, I'm not that bad, even not worth the second date. I'm well educated, good looking... just why...I really felt a hurt of pride and self value, and not being appreciated.


It's very difficult for women nowadays. Some men (not my dates, just friends who could talk something he wouldn't tell his dates) told me he would quit if the women had no sex with him on the first few dates because he got many offer outside.


However if you had sex too soon, men will think you too cheap and gone as well.


That's why so many single women out there. Men are psycho these days

It has nothing to do with how many dates you had before sex. I slept with him after 1 month and a half of romantic involvement (albeit from a distance)and two dates that started early in the afternoon and gave us the opportunity to talk for 12 hours non stop.


On the other hand i married someone i slept with immediately! Go and figure....no rules, just right or wrong people. Some relationships start slowly, others are like a vulcanic eruption which you can't stop. If a guy likes you and respects you, he doesn't keep count of how many dates you had before sex. Time becomes irrelevant, because the time of passion is very very subjective.

We had sex on the second date.


before that we had email correspondence for a month. Anyway this's the right feelings behind.


I agreed to what yo said. However too many bad guys outside. NOwadays it's really very risky to go with your feelings because you never know you will be hurt or not after teh sex.

don't be too negative...after the jerk i met a very nice guy...same dating site. My behaviour hasn't changed, i look, talk, and think in exactly the same way...but this guy likes it and never played any games...so refreshing.


There are hundreds of toads and very few princes...you just have to keep kissing toads i guess, and one day one will pleasantly surprise you. Of course, there are a lot of very appealing toads around, so it's tricky, just kiss them knowing that 9 of 10 don't turn into princes....but you will not know until you have kissed them...Just go for the yummy ones...at least the heartbreak is worth it!

My flying over was not just for him. Actually I got the business trip to his country. And I finished the job, and take some days of annual leave and met him.


As I know he will be working in HK next month, so I think it's worthwhile to explore any possibility for development

Why would you think it's worth while to contact him after he already told you he has no interest, did not bother to call you and treated you poorly? Are you despirate???

Did you read through the whole thread what I wrote. Or your bashing mind has blown away all your comprehension ability?


I told in the thread that I sensed his change in passion immediately after the sex on that nite, and I already decided not calling him even I was alone in a foreign country. And he didn't call me either. And after I got back home, I saw his email written on the following day of sex saying not to see. But I never said I wrote or called him or any action to get him back

No need for the insults "yummy cake", perhaps the lack of personality and class you exhibit is the reason on non interest

HK01,

It's difficult to tell for whatever reason he left after sex, his own problem or mine (lack of personality and class as you said). As you were not here on the date, very difficult for you to make a conclusion of why.


However how you act here and many preassumptions you made already exhibited a lack of personality of class of yourself....LOL

Please support our advertisers:
HK01 17 yrs ago
It is easy to make conclusions based on your description of what happened. clearly you were used by him and are now finding away to try and make yourself feel better about it.


Perhaps you should contact him when he arrived in HK... My best is he will sleep with you again, and not contact you after that, again...

"As I know he will be working in HK next month, so I think it's worthwhile to explore any possibility for development" Maybe I used the wrong tense that confuse you. I should use past tense in the second half of the sentence. This thought of mine was only in place before he said to leave and everything went well on the first date. After he said no more seeing, I had no expectation or hope to see or get him back. Be true, even he suddenly said he wanted to get back, I wouldn't. Because I won't accept a man who has treated me badly.


I'm here not to seek ways to get him back or see him again. Just vent my sadness of being used. I think you guys no need to be harsh

Yummy cake, i wouldn't get involved in a debate as to whether you should have slept with him or not, and after how many dates.

The reality is that you trusted this guy, saw potential, happened to be in his country, were attracted to him and that attraction naturally led to sleeping with him. You are a single woman, and an adult. Don't let anybody tell you that you did something wrong. Because you didn't cheat on your husband, you didn't mislead anybody and hopefully used protection.


Unfortunately no condom can protect you from a broken heart. Your heart can be broken by a guy after a month or after 10 years. The longer you are with someone the longer it takes for your heart to heal. Cheer up, because in this case, i don't think it will take too long.


Now back to the internet predators. Some are only after sex, and they should post on AFF (Adultfriendfinder) and find horny people who want no-string sex. Why do they bother romancing you??? Some are married and use the Internet to meet women who live far away from their secure home and family, and are utterly despicable as they lie about almost everything in their lives.

Others suffer from sexual problems, and are too ashamed to discuss their condition. So, they hit and run.They could date you for months, and still when the moment of getting intimate comes, they would blame the woman for their problem (because it's easy than seeing a doctor or a psychologist)


Other men suffer from personality disorders, or mental illnesses, might or might not be on medication. They can wreck havoc in your life, as they send contradictory signals, and you are left scratching your head as to what went wrong. Well, chances are that nothing went wrong, maybe they changed medication, forgot to take it, or live in a permanent haze. My friends and I met guys who displayed symptoms of the following: Pathological Narcissistic Disorder, Bi-polar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Paranoia, and other psychoses.


Discouraging, eh? Well, no. You are just as likely to meet the same kind of men in LKF on a night out.


There are also well-adjusted, good-looking, nice and caring guys who seek partners on the Internet.

Unfortunately there is no sure-fire way to spot them among the chaff. It's a matter of trial and error. You date them, you sleep with them when it feels right to you (first or tenth date) and take it from there. If they respect you, treat you right, and behave like a man in love after sleeping with you (before it's just too easy, they all do!) then you know you got a man who is worth your time and energy. Keep it simple in the beginning, don't overstretch yourself to accomodate them, because there are more predators than men for keep, out there in the city or on the Net.

Oh, and i forgot another type, who i had the misfortune of meeting recently. The passive-aggressive man. Though he could as well fit in the category of "married men" (i will never find out) and "men with sexual dysfunctions", he is a passive-aggressive manual case.

Always late for a date, doesn't initiate contact but doesn't tell you that he is not interested, he would write a passionate email one day, and then disappear for a week, send mixed signals, and would rather keep his phone permanently on voice mail than to tell you that he doesn't want to receive your calls.

As he can't be sexually aggressive, he plays with women's emotions and try to inflict damage in a more surreptitious way. Very charming, once he knows he has ensnared his victim, he takes pleasure in torturing her emotionally.

well - just forget about it. I can not judge if he is a total jerk because it is very typical male behaviour. And bear in mind, men often lie especially they try all methods to get laid and dump the woman. And men and women are very different, never think in this way "if i were him, then..." - their brains work different from ours.

At the end, it is just an one-click-away internet date. Just look forward to the next one. : )

car lover, there is no guarantee that withholding sex would lead to a different outcome.

A guy i met a few years ago, had a gf in his country and three girls in HK. One of them was the church type, so he would go to church with her, and even met her parents for dimsum on Sunday. They only kissed and hugged for three months, then when the relationship with me became more serious and took up most of his time, i became suspicious of his disappearance on Sunday. I confronted him and said if you are seeing somebody else, fine, i will start going out on dates too. To reassure me he told me that the relationship with the other girl was only "platonic" and he was willing to end it if that meant saving ours. To show me he was 'honest' (of course he never ended relationships that i didn't suspect he had) he called her in front of me and dumped her without showing any emotion. I could hear her sobs, and he made a point of telling her that she was too conservative for him, and that he had found somebody else. Listening to him, the matter-of-fact tone of his voice, made my blood curdle. I should have owned that feeling and give him the boot instead of thinking that he did it for me. When he ended our relationship a year later he was just as emotionally frigid.

Reading your stories depresses me to no end. I'm recovering from being dumped by my 5 years husband over money we lost(at least this is what I've been told)and I was thinking that it won't be bad to start dating other people.

But your stories combined what my collegues are telling me (in BKK a western woman had no chance to meet anyone, all men are after Thai girls)look like a grey picture to me and scares me of trying.

Yummy cake, I agree with Selda. It is best to try and not second guess yourself or to try to over analyze the situation. The truth is, you may never know what motivated him to behave in this way. It could be any number of reasons, most of which have little or nothing to do with you.


That said, although his motives may be dubious, it is also possible that he was not able to perform sexually for a reason he had not anticipated and feels very ashamed about this. Perhaps he was then worried about being ridiculed. This is not to say that you would ridicule him, rather he may have wrongly anticipated that you would.


Either way, harboring ill will toward this guy will not help you to move on. Just chalk this up as an unfortunate experience in your life and continue your search for the right guy.


I do also agree with car lover. There are guys out there who are willing to wait until the relationship is grounded before moving on to sex. If the guy is unwilling to wait until this point in time and instead expects you to sleep with him as a part of the process of getting acquainted, would you really respect a guy like this?


Sex is great, and I admit that it is difficult to hold off when there is a lot of chemistry, but I also think that it can complicate matters real quick when both people are not at a comfortable point in the relationship....a point at which a connection beyond something simply physical has formed. Yes, there are no guarantees that even then the guy won't disappear, but at least it decreases this risk significantly.

Maybe we shouldn't assume that guys can have sex for the sake of having sex, that like women, they also need some kind of connection first. Two dates might be too fast too soon to build the kind of physical and emotional comfort you need around each other.

selda 17 yrs ago
i guess it also depends on how important is sex to you.


If the guy behaves like a jerk after sleeping with you, he is a jerk. Postponing the discovery of his "jerk" nature, would only mean wasting your time, unless of course, you are content with dinners, a peck on the cheeks, and a flood of romantic text messages and emails and are not craving for physical intimacy.


Because sooner or later you will come crashing down, the sexual incompatibility, his hang-ups about sex, or his sexual dysfunction, will become obvious.


Withholding sex would deter only the impatient guys who are after sex, but not those jerks who get high on the chase, by playing hard to get you are actually playing their favourite game, only to be discarded when they finally get it from you.


There is no safe way to deal with men, you should follow your heart, use protection and learn coping techniques to get over them if they turn out to be jerks. Like going out with your friends, having fun, travelling, or dating somebody else...one day you will find the right man for you. In the meantime, be sensible, don't bend backwards to accomodate a man in your life, take care of yourself and devote time and energy to worthy causes and pursuits.


Please support our advertisers:
San12 17 yrs ago
Why even go through the heartache and "coping techniques"? Isn't it better to wait, get to know the guy better, and figure out whether he's a jerk BEFORE you decide whether you want to sleep with him? You walk off a lot easier this way, and save yourself from any trauma.

Please support our advertisers:
San12 17 yrs ago
Oh yes, about when to sleep with a guy... yes, I agree, it shouldn't follow a timeline. You should sleep with a guy when you've both established a certain bond between the both of you, and this can take anything from days to months. Just make sure that your decision is not based on fear (he will dump me if i don't sleep with him) or neediness (i need him to be connected/committed to me through sex) because it will just end up driving guys away in double-quick time.

Please support our advertisers:
selda 17 yrs ago
well, you can buy the car before driving it, or take it for a test drive and then say, yes, i like it, or no thanks and keep looking at other models. I'd rather test it before i invest my time, energy and emotions in some guy i am not sexually compatible with.

I know people are not cars, but experience tells me that before falling head over heels you should test the bed.


Please support our advertisers:
San12 17 yrs ago
Just curious selda, has this strategy worked so far? Women tend to invest themselves emotionally after sex, and often get pretty upset when the guy disappears quickly after the act. When you test drive without insurance, you also have to contend with a possible crash.

Peet 17 yrs ago
I have to say that I agree completely with San12 and disagree completely with Selda's comments.


True, if sexual dysfunction or a hang up exists, it will surface sooner or later. However, if the two people have made an emotional connection and know one another fairly well before jumping in bed, then the guy will have a much better idea how the girl will react to his dysfunction or hang up and, if there is some compatibility and a connection there, he might even feel comfortable enough to bring it up before sex. At least he'll more likely feel comfortable enough to discuss it with her afterwards rather than disappearing out of shame and a fear of being ridiculed. After all, isn't this what relationships are about, working things out together?


Selda, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but with the way you approach relationships, it's no wonder you've had so many bad experiences!

In some cultures,especially some Asian/Arab,men look upon the act of having sex as a thing precluding marriage I kid you not.


They are happy with the courtship stage but once you have sex you are considered a "bad girl" and if marriage is not on his mind well that's the end of it.


His not being able to perform suggests he felt guilty about his actions and he cut off contact with you.Better let this one go.You can't do anything about it and I wouldn't pursue it if he ever comes to HK and contacts you as in his eyes you are "easy" and he will never take your relationship seriously.

i'm with selda. you have to kiss a LOT of frogs before you meet a potential prince. but take common-sense precautions, use protection. some frogs are decent, genuine, professionals, but still frogs if you don't feel the vibes. the nice frogs maybe you could develop into friends. then a few are absolute toads (married, players, jerks etc)--once you find out, cut your losses, chuck 'em back in the pond and move on.

though once they're back in the pond, they'll be able to break more hearts.

hey selda, maybe we should start a blacklist of internet-dating toads to warn other women off them!!

I'm curious to know where the guy is from to disprove my theory.


I had the same thing happen to a friend of mine with a man of Middle Eastern background.


They dated for a few weeks all very positive,he came to HK and she jumped in the sack with him and he actually told her that he had no intention of marriage and that she was not morally "good" for having sex with him!AND that only prostitutes have sex before marriage!Then he didn't contact her again.

Selda: agree with u that not all guys are into sex only. Those are pretty good cheaters. Got a friend tat told me before that a guy can't live with just one girl and i totally disagree with that.


As for internet dating...had a good one myself and also friends who met their partner online, got married n have kids, still together. So, its not all bad, i mean for internet dating. I guess everything is a risk that we have to take. When a person wanna lie to u, its really hard to know the truth.

oh yes, I know i have hallucinated a few times...but licking toads is cheaper and safer than doing street drugs. :-)


As to where this frog kissing led me...well, i am not bitter, i still love men, and probably ever will. They are my drug of choice.


I am not interested in developing a relationship with men who don't respect women and think of women as either whores or saints. Sex should lead to greater intimacy, not less. So if a man retreats after sex, or thinks of sex as something to be ashamed of, something difficult, something he wants to do to prove something to himself or others, or a game where he wins and you lose, i can only say i am not interested in this kind of unevolved human being.

Some people are serious about internet dating, some are not. And people "picture" the online date in their mind. Often times the person turns out different from his/her imagination or expecation. These explains the "disappearing".

I mean if we just get to know each other and don't feel the click, why bother making a fuss to explain why I think this is not going to work? Get the hint and move on.

Everyone may be mistaken that I couldn't get over the guy and wanted him back or couldn't move on. Bcz it's understandable that everyone wouldn't have time to read in details of the threads about what I sadi (in reverse, I would be like that too so no harm)


Those who are more empathetic like selda or Bubas may be kind enough to tell me he's a jerk and move on. Some one more mean like HK01 would try to do bashing alot out of an assumption that I have been calling or writing to him a lot to ask him back (I never). But funny enough she did tell that she did meet a guy and the guy disappeared after the date even not fxxking her while she kept on calling, may be this bcz of her "lack of personality and class" (haha..but she deleted that thread maybe she's embarrassed after that careless to post this truth out of momentum). So I understood why she's so much bashing becz she's rather worse even as the guy not bother to give her a fxxk even no physical attraction...but she still kept on calling the man.


But the fact is that I was not missing the guy nor wanting him back. I never called him again or wrote to him once I found his change in attitude before I got his email of not seeing. I just felt bad was the feeling of being not appreciated, and being used, and abit angry about that.


Indeed I have been away from any contribution from the thread (if you observe) becz I have been busy dating another interesting guy already. I just spent one day to forget him. This jerk was nothing to me.


But thanks for the contribution

I totally agree with Selda.For these kind of jerks they play games to get you in bed then dump you whenever he feels like to. I had bad experiences twices with a same guy. I am so stupid at that time to believe what he said (all lies)and done (introduce me to his best friends and even attend his business dinner and company annual dinner.) so what---- he built up my trust on him again and cruely disappear again. There is nothing i can do to ease my anger at that time. I even think of go to his office and confront him in front of his staff. Of course i dont have that courage and I just move on.

Hi ID,


Your words are too heavy. I know couples married through internet dating, some are seeing someone for years known on the Internet.


It's like any channels of knowing someone (from work, from learning something, from joining assocaitions, from friends, ...etc.), you can meet good guys, and jerky ones. My friend also met a jerk in her MBA class who messed up in China alot. You may need to meet lots of ppls before you meet someone who worth you, or you may be lucky to find someone worth you at the very beginning without the need to meet a lot of guys (no matter through internet or non-internet channels). But internet dating just accelerate the process.


My 2 cents!

hi Glowac,


NO need to struggle with jerks, just move on..and you will find more beautiful trees in the forrest. Keep yourself in good shape to have better catch. Not worth foregoing other beautiful trees by preserving one dead tree.

hi to all,


so i am a men in this forum. first i like to agree that sometimes men they have crazy ideas. speciall many men from europe they are thinking asian ladys are a little stupid and you can have them easy and fast for sex. and i can agree also this its my own experiance. i am not married so i can play with ladys but - i am not prommissing them any times, that i am really interested to get married. but some ladys they are hoping this even you are telling this to them honest, so what a man can do ?

the second is, sometimes the men he need to decide after the first sex if its possible to stay together with this lady or not. dont forget there is a different between men and ladys . ladys they always invest feeling and expecting, seldom that they are willing only for adventure.

but men the most time they are looking for adventure and using a lot of list. and then if he is really interested for a relation in a lady and this lady she is doing her best to show him that she can be also a "wild one" in sex, it can easy happen, that the men he start to think, " oh maybe i can not fulfill the sex appetite for longer time to this lady, its better to stop already now before i will invest too much feeling for this lady even she is nice" . believe me many mens they have low selftrust in sex !

i only want to explain some thinking of man. the cases are always different, so i think its not fair to blame always the men, the ladys many times they make it too easy for the men to get them only for sex, ladys they need to be more careful in believing what mens are saying. its much more easy for men to say "oh you are so nice, i really love you" than for ladys.

take good care to all of yours.

I would never regard as a jerk someone that after meeting you decides that there is no spark. I wouldn't even think that sending emails to a stranger is a form of dating. In my opinion a bad Internet dating experience is something else. You establish the connection, you meet, the interest is mutual, the emails and phone calls that follow the first meeting create a deeper connection, other dates follow, and one day you realise that the object of your passion has misrepresented himself, mislead you either by lying about his life, or marital status. It could also happen with someone you met in a bar, at a conference, on the plane...the Internet just provides another avenue for predators. It makes it easier for someone to lead a double life, create a new identity etc.

You can meet some very nice, genuine people, but it's hard to tell them apart from the jerks who are married, or are dating 5 women at the same time, or those who just want to get laid and disappear into thin air once the thrill of the chase is over.

I have already discussed my bad experience, but as i found out reading other threads, i could have met the same type of man on a business trip. I mean the type who one day claims that he has finally met the woman of his dreams, and the next day doesn't even take your calls, and refuses to explain what happened. I was so furious at this man's behaviour that i thought the most brutal rejection would have been better than the silence.

Luckily i had the chance to meet a very nice guy through the same dating site, so the bad experience was overshadowed by a very good one.

But for HK CHinese girls, it may not be what you think all fancy a western bfs. There are two extremes. Some of my local friends fancy to have a westerner bf. But the majority of my local gfs prefer Chinese.


However for those who are very typical local girl, they'll go to places or hang out where gweilos won't go. THose who admire westerners will go to all places where gweilos hangout. So the westerner may run into very easy girls, but they can never meet those real local CHinese girls


For me I did have experiences intimacy coming too soon or too late when dating CHinese or gweilos. How soon I find the right chemical reaction to have intimacy is determined by the person, not by the race. I did have experience of dating a westerner for 2 months, almost seeing 3 / 4 times a week, but still not yet to bed, and bored him to quit (as I found myself still not yet ready)


So you don't really get the full picture of the dating scene here. Don't think all of us are easy s-toys

hi cute_sense,


the central issue of the problem is not where your dates known from the Internet or not. As I said my friend also ran into freaks in her MBA class. THis is a man's nature to play dating games, and won't value something too easy to get, or many men just simply value the process of chasing or hunting. THey are hunters in nature. Although many men say they like simple, easy going (not easy) girls, many turn out be together with women who can play mind games with men. That's why someone wrote a book called "why man fall in love with bitches"

Yes true,

If you pretend high profile and difficult to get, even if you are ugly and non-eligible, you will get a catch.

In defense of (some of) the Western guys out there, I'd like to comment on some of the posts I've read here.


First, not all Western guys are looking for "easy" Chinese girls, nor do all Western guys wish to have a quick play with a girl sexually and then cast her aside. Yes, perhaps this is true of many Western guys, but this type only succeeds in making it more difficult for the decent Western guys to break the "playboy" stereotype.


My gf is Asian NOT because I have some Asian fetish nor because I wish to have an "easy", docile gf (though most make this assumption), rather because I feel that my personality meshes much better with the Asian cultures than it does with the Western cultures. But it had been difficult for me to meet a decent Asian girl because the assumption by most Asian girls is that, simply because I am a Western guy, I must therefore be a playboy and only interested in sex.


Actually, without a deeper understanding of one another's culture and language, it seems difficult to make a go of a cross-cultural relationship. Because many playboys have little interest in learning about culture and language, their reasons for dating an Asian girl often have much more to do with the novelty of dating an Asian girl and a misunderstanding that all Asian girls are docile and sexually easy, and less to do with a true interest in who she is as a person, her culture, etc. The same can be said about the girls who end up with these types of Western guys - they are often the girls who date Western guys just because it is novel or different. Both get exactly what they've asked for and deserve one another.



But there are some Western guys out there who are looking for a genuine relationship with a decent Asian girl, not a quick fling. They're perhaps just a little more difficult to find.


Yummy cake, it's nice to hear that you base many of your relationship decisions upon the guy instead of stereotyping him because of his race. I do hope that you can find a good guy who will treat you with the respect that you deserve, whether he is Western or Chinese. :)

It's always the case where good girls end up with bad dudes and good guys ends up with bad chicks, why? Selfishness perhaps?

Hi yummy, sorry to hear about your dreadful experience. I've felt used before, but they were both asian, not western guys. One was long distance and I flew twice to see him only to be treated like sh*t


Basically while i believe they were actually looking for a relationship (they were much older than me), they realised that I wasn't the one they had in mind quite early on but wanted to have sex anyway.(I was young and naive (stupid) then). The way they ended things were very cruel, without consideration of another human being's confusion or frustration of unreturned calls or rude stony silence, without clear explanation that they didn't want to see me again.


My anger was a slow boiling one. First, I took the zen approach to live and let live but it did not help me to overcome my hurt, even though I had accepted that things were over much earlier on.


Well I wont state exactly what I did, but it involved the internet and journal writing...It brought me immense satisfaction. I wont call it revenge, but it is a step away from revenge.(I am not advocating this but it was just something I needed to do then)


2 years and 3 years later (respectively), both got in touch with me. 1 pretended nothing happened and wanted to 'hang out' and I politely informed him never to call me again,(before that I told him he was a massive jerk and a**h** and he even apologised! Surprise surprise).


The second one wrote me an email gloating about how he just got married bla bla bla (like I was interested)and asked if we could be friends and he also apologised for treating me badly at the end.


Now that I older (and wiser, I hope), I realise that I had a part to play as well. i was too naive/stupid and did not know how to protect myself. I find that sometimes women get played or taken advantaged of because they let it happen. It might not be a conscious thing, but once you've really learnt your lesson, you'd find your experience with prime jerks actually help you weed the rest out later on in your dating life.


cheers and be happy :D

YC,

I did not have sex with my man until two years after. Even then, I was afraid that he would just goal and leave. It is not about how soon, but about whether you've built emotional bond.

Hello! Girls, I'm very sorry to hear that. In my opinion, almost of the guys date girl from Internet with one purpose, SEX! After sleeping with them, they use lots of excuse to leave you. So, I advise the girl if you want to meet the guy who know from Internet, pls don't except too much and protect yourself well. If you just want causal relationship, it's okay. But don't play too long time.

purplestar, I really dun think all guys on the Internet are for sex. I really know some real live cases that it end up to a marriage or a relationship which lasts for years.


I think you can have bad guys anywhere, I also know some bad guys in joining some sports activities.


Solo, I think having sex after two years of going out will be too long. Even if I were a guy, I would quit.


HOwever for those with a stable relationship now (definition: Be together for two years or more), would you do a poll there telling me how soon you guys get to bed, on which date? or after how long (days / weeks / months)?


Although I agree to selda's viewpoint of following the heart, I think the guys are not paying-heart-animals. And so many bad guys out there, I need to be more cautious, but I don't want to be too cautious to lose a chance, and I want to find a balance

Say what? Internet dating smacks of "loneliness" and "desperation"? I've known more than a couple of girls and guys who lead very busy lives and feel that Internet dating is one legitimate way (of several) to meet people of the opposite sex. Some of them have had successes, some have not. But I wouldn't describe any of them as "lonely" and "desperate".


Certainly the guys that I know are not trolling the Internet dating sites, looking for a quick sexual fling. Perhaps you're hanging out with the wrong crowd, I don't know. I find it hard to believe that I just happen to only have male friends who fall within the "less than 5%" who are not, "at least initially, in it just for the sex".


While I completely agree that it's best to establish an emotional foundation before jumping into bed, and that a decent guy would treat a girl with respect and not rush her into having sex before she is ready, I think that much of what was written above is a bit of an overgeneralization....

Hi Fatkid,


As a woman having lots of hurting experiences in dating, I wholeheartedly buy in your words that men are generally bad in nature.


They would like to testify and set up traps for women and asked them to bed at the very first. Once women thot they just followed the hearts and agreed, they would use and badmouth them afterwards.


Therefore men 's name is called axxhole.
