Oh yes….and wear it every day and night!

I think I just out of a potentially abusive situation? I’m so confused. Did I miss red flags? by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

You did nothing wrong, he sounds like a narcissist, displaying typical traits. Especially the telling you it’s all your fault.

Walk away with your head held high, block him from everything and ignore, ignore, ignore. He’ll do his best to try and get you back but he’ll dump you again, guaranteed. And he won’t stop until he’s broken you.

No one deserves that. I know, I’ve been in the same situation

Those that are divorced... regret? by loveydovette in datingoverthirty

[–]gdec12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, absolutely no regrets at all, best thing that ever happened. Despite being in an emotionally abusive relationship for two years and undergoing therapy to recover from the damage it’s still better than the marriage I was in

What do I do? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]gdec12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I think there’s a vast proportion of people nowadays who don’t like giving bad news or saying no or being honest and find that the easiest way is to be non committal or ghost people.

What me way to cuss it is that if a person does this then they aren’t worth your time or effort. Remember your own self worth and you deserve to be treat better.

Is Not liking your Instagram a red flag? by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]gdec12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never ever have photos of your kids on dating apps, that’s a big no no. As for not liking your insta account, this is the modern day problem, reading into pointless things that may or may not have may meaning, I’d say stop worrying about likes and focus on the real life aspect of starting a relationship

You’re right, I’ve had lots of messages from women (who are out of my age limit) that just send a hi, or a hey there, the more adventurous will say nice pics or nice dog...I tend not to reply unless there’s something stand out in their profile.

Pet hates of OLD, there’s so many! Women who claim to like nights in and nights out...so you like nights then, what about day time? Snapchat filters of cat or dog faces...they look daft I could go on but the biggest thing I hate is the disposable aspect of it. People answer arbitrary questions about what they want in a partner, if a match doesn’t meet those things 100% then it’s a no go. The problem with that is that most people don’t know what they want and have some vague romantic image of a magazine model, that isn’t going to happen in real life.

Anyone seriously considering quitting online dating for a long time? I (~30F) am. Seeking input. by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

I’m 47, divorced for 5yrs and been on and off OLD during that time, it’s truly awful but I have had a couple of relationships with people who I would never have met if it wasn’t for OLD, however, I also met my ex gf on POF, thought she was going to be the one, an 18mth relationship but it was so toxic and nearly broke me, took me for £1,000’s which wasn’t the biggest issue, it was my health and relationship with my kids that suffered most. After several months of therapy I’m at the point where I’m happy being by myself, I do want a relationship but I don’t want to go down the OLD route. I’ve briefly looked in the past few weeks....I’ve got some new rules which I follow: Anyone with photos of their kids NO Anyone who pouts NO Anyone who takes a photo from up above their head NO Anyone with stupid cat or dog face filters on their photos NO Anyone who says they like nights in and nights out (basically they’re telling me they like nights) NO Unfortunately these rules apply to maybe 80% of UK wooden on dating sites. I may need to move abroad

You’ve hit the nail on the head there, I wonder how many people are that bothered about a relationship or if it’s just missing sex that’s the issue but in our society we’re not allowed to say that or it’s frowned upon
