Cupids Dating Blog

Having only met, I knew I shouldn't expect to be the one and only. Besides, despite acting a bit too available, my latest dance floor crush was genuinely attractive so attention from others was normal. Nevertheless, my flirtatious new friend was compelled to reassure me of my special appealing and serious dating potential, claiming the other flirting was meaningless.

Encouragingly, we made plans to see each other during the week. However, when my prospective partner decided to quit a new job, things suddenly changed. Despite my understanding and empathy, I never got my promised date. A couple of my emails and a phone call went unreturned. Anyway, I figured that if I just went to the club where we'd met, we'd cross paths again.

We did as I witnessed my surprisingly upbeat friend in the arms of another man. Not just flirting but also acting as if already a couple. I tried avoiding them, as I felt a bit angry even if I didn't feel I had the right. Eventually, my upset was too obvious so I received an explanation before demanding one directly.

Unbelievably, again I was told that I was so interesting and completely worthy of a long-term relationship. However, with no job and few prospects, the timing just wasn't right for anything serious. Again, I'm told how nice I am.

Sometimes, I find that rejection coming from someone who is not the best match is surprisingly hard to take. This time, as happened with the last unsuitable suitor, my head knows it's for the best but my heart still hurts a bit.

Sometimes, it seems that even when I've dodged a bullet I still suffer a flesh wound but I guess I still need a slightly thicker skin and stop chasing after the emotionally armed and dangerous.
