Sorry to hear this - that sucks, but in the long run I think it's better to know than to be left wondering. Unfortunately I think part of gaining dating experience is gaining experience of handling rejection - allowing it to sting for a bit and then moving on to try again. Like many things, I think it gets easier with time.
OK. It sure is painful right now (sends comforting hugs). But thank goodness the "i" are at least dotted now and there seems to be no agonising ambiguity about what he may have meant. Right now - off to the gardens with him, good riddance and toodle-oo (don't unfriend him on FB as yet, he may come in useful later for networking, etc.) - next audition, please! Think of yourself as an American Idol judge: you've just seen off an audition that is probably too watery to make it big as a pop idol - so you are calling the next number waiting, and the newest pop sensation may just be waiting and loitering outside! Take this as valuable learning experience dating-wise, and on to the next one! You might need to work a bit on the confidence and self-belief, just so as to make the whole thing easier! You said you used to like soccer - looks like a great place to start anyway (maybe new friends too!). And a couple of new items of clothing or a home spa day when you got a day off never done any harm to anyone either! :)
Best of luck, and hang on in there! You will succeed!

ReplyDeleteSorry that it happened, but glad that you got closure. Better to get that than to be left hanging and wondering.
