UPDATE: he did write back and was very nice about it.
Last summer I had been on a few dates with a really great guy. I started seeing Dave because we were further on in our dating relationship and dating more than one person makes me nervous. Instead of being honest with this guy I dropped off the face of the planet. What a horrible thing to do! I hate when a guy does that to me and I did that to this guy. I've actually thought about him quite a bit lately, I still have his number in my phone. I can't just text him out of the blue though. But today I saw that he's doing online dating again.
I panicked. I felt guilty all over again for what I did. So I decided to suck it up and send him a message on the site. I didn't make excuses I just told him that I was sorry and it was really horrible of me to do. He probably won't respond but I at least hope that he knows how bad I feel. I know if the situation were reversed I'd be like "screw this person!" I vow to never do that to a guy again. EVER. I'm sure I ruined my chances with him which sucks because we got along so well. Live and learn right?
I will never do that again. I ruined something that could have been great. I will not fall back into old patterns. Nice guys don't deserve that.
We all do things we later regret, and sometimes it just is like that , and sometimes we get over it and sometimes we don't. But shit happens, and now you know to not do it again.
ReplyDeleteDon't beat yourself up, we all make mistakes. I think being honest was the best decision. :)
ReplyDeleteyeah, you've probably blown it, but at least you messaged him without any excuses and owned up to your mistake. that takes guts.
ReplyDeleteDon't be too hard on yourself, doing the right thing later is better than doing the right thing never, amirite?
ReplyDeleteThank you for apologizing. I know we all do things that we don't mean to do, and don't beat yourself up -- but this is one of my ultimate dating pet peeves. It just sucks, and gives you the whole "what's so wrong with me" complex.
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea how much I appreciate this.
Well I'm glad you apologised if you felt bad over it. Also that you had the chance to. Some people don't get that.
ReplyDeleteEven if he doesn't respond, it always helps to get things like that off your chest! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteWell done on apologising! That takes balls sometimes. I hope he gets back to you. x
