Bad online dating experiencePosted : 22 Apr, 2012 01:46 PMI have tried online dating, but haven't ever been successful with it. I had a bad experience recently and it hurt me. I met a guy from another Christian dating site that said he wanted to get to know me and was interested in me. We talked for a month and half. We actually had a whole lot in common. We talked on the telephone a few times and had a lot of laughs. There were times when he would not talk to me for days, but he would always come back and say something to me. He would call me beautiful and say sweet things to me. He actually called me the girl of his dreams. Then, suddenly, he does not send me messages or calls anymore. I sent him a message telling him I was worried about him. He replies back when saying "Quit talking to me." He said it was not anything to do with me. He does not want any relationship. I kindly said I would be his friend after reading his message. He never relied back either. |

Bad online dating experiencePosted : 22 Apr, 2012 04:11 PMI can only guess at his reasons, and not knowing either of you, your guess would be better than mine. Sometimes things blow up in your face for no apparent reason, and if you know you didn't get it wrong, and he's saying the same, there's not really a lot you can "change" for next time... |

Bad online dating experiencePosted : 22 Apr, 2012 06:18 PMI'm sorry that happened to you. I don't think there is anything you can change that will guarantee that this won't happen again. You just have to move forward and realize that online dating is not so much different from real-life dating...you'll still meet jerks, you'll still meet creeps, you'll still meet frauds, and you'll still meet some really great guys too. |

Bad online dating experiencePosted : 24 Apr, 2012 05:35 AMHi there. I just read your message here and I had bad experience too. It's hard to trust men nowadays. I only want to meet friends at the moment. But let's put it this way: We may not understand why things such as that are happening when we know our intention here is purely to be loved and to love. But let's wait for the right. In God's perfect time. Things happen for a reason. |

Bad online dating experiencePosted : 24 Apr, 2012 09:19 AMHow curious. Do you really believe everything happens for a reason? I find that many people say this as though it is encouraging, but I worry that it causes people to become very passive. |

Bad online dating experiencePosted : 26 Apr, 2012 06:40 AMMeeting someone to date on an online dating site in some instances don't work out in many of us favor. They are good people everywhere, even online, and people online do date, fall in love, and get married. However, this isn't the case with everyone. Everyone experience is different. Most people may not find the ideal person to date or the "love of their lives" at an online dating site. You could be the nicest and sweetest girl in the world but this doesn�t exclude you from running into losers. It is part of life. You're going to meet some really nice people online and in person (offline). If this man doesn't want to talk to you anymore, "let him be." Don't try to be his friend. Move on. Try meeting more men offline at social events or the church as more men of character may be in those setting. Good luck again. |
