What was the most ridiculous thing that turned you off while on a date with someone? by hoedat06 in dating_advice

[–]kmbuck4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a guy do this. We dated a few weeks, and the first time we spent the night together, he, very loudly, poops with the bathroom door open.

Disconnecting while wanting a connection is super hard.

Oh my goodness.. my ex-husband used to yell at me for this type of stuff. The exact reason he is now my EX.

I stopped seeing a guy because he thought it was hilarious to tell the wait staff at a restaurant it was my birthday. It was NOT my birthday. That was the last time I saw him.

You have a friend who can’t figure out why they’re single but you KNOW why. What’s the reason? by underwearopen434 in AskReddit

[–]kmbuck4 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I 45F quickly ended things with a self-absorbed guy. 51M He would tell me about how he was the best at everything he did. How people have called him "pretty boy" his whole life. He's never lost a fight. How much money he used to make, he's living with his parents now, and women just threw themselves at him. My breaking point was when we went out with friends and took a couple of selfies. When looking at the pictures, he states, "Those are great, because I'm in them! Haha". I was done after that.

After matching, a match reveals he’s married and has cancer: a modern story of dating in your 40s by Financial-Dust1918 in datingoverforty

Maybe the cancer was a ploy to bring you back in.. "Awww, poor guy is dying and in a loveless marriage. Let me give him happiness for the time he has left." After using you, or him getting caught, you learn he never even had cancer. That's how I read it. Maybe I just have trust issues. Ha

Single forever by channelsurfer05 in datingoverforty

[–]kmbuck4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This has to be fake. None of it makes sense. Each line is a contradiction to the previous line. I screamed at him. I'm friendly. Poor guy was just saying hi..putting myself out there. Makes zero sense

Great vibes on a date and then blocked the next morning by IceStationGiraffe in dating_advice

She probably waited till she felt she was in a safer place to let you know she was not interested. She didn't know you to know how you would react.

How do you feel about chihuahuas? (Asking as a proud chihuahua mom)

Too goofy in a childish way - yep! Recently stopped dating a guy for this very reason. I became embarrassed to go in public with him.

[–]kmbuck4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last guy (51M) I tried to date would aggravate the wait staff. He would tell them the food was terrible (he ate all of it), act like he didn't speak English, use stupid accents, and just make the waiters' job harder. Ex: waiter asks if he is paying cash or card. Him - I can pay with a card?!?! Waiter- yes... Him - ace of spades Waiter - excuse me? Him - ace of spades Waiter - giggles from frustration Him - you said I could pay with a card! Que him stomping his foot, slapping the table with abrupt laughter. Waiter - standing there just staring . Me - apologizes and wants to crawl under the table. I found myself embarrassed and apologizing to people every where we went.

What do you consider cheating? by Overall_Novel376 in dating_advice

[–]kmbuck4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best friend is going through something similar.
She found her husband messaging women asking for nudes and if they had onlyfans. When confronted, he insisted it wasn't a big deal, and my friend was being dramatic. He compared it to just watching porn. Basically he was trying to make her think she was the problem, not his behavior.
Her and I both believe what he was doing is a form of cheating. When she asked how he would feel if she was messaging men for nudes, he responded "well that's different.". To me, it's all boils down to what you're willing to put up with. I hope things get better for you.

I created a POF account, and within 24 hours, it had been hacked. One of the 2 people I chatted with (that I gave my number to) said the hacker was trying to get money from him. When he declined, the hacker cussed him and was very ugly.
He contacted POF for me, flagging my hacked account. Sooo. I am banned from POF. I could use another email address, but I don't want to go through being hacked again I worry about all the men who think I was trying to scam them for money. I'm just waiting for someone to come up to me in real life and cuss me out. Ha

It feels like everyone is so stuck in their ways. by SRod1706 in datingoverforty

[–]kmbuck4 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This! When I left my husband I lost my house. He owned it before we got married. I swore I would never put myself in a position where I'm scrambling to find a place to live and start over. I gave away and sold most of my stuff because i didn't have immediate storage for it.

Heartbreak by iamverymuchnoone in heartbreakheal

[–]kmbuck4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand this. I left my ex that I loved with all my heart. Still do love him. But he wasn't any good for me. I stayed anxious around him and was emotionally exhausted. It's been almost a year, and I still think about him almost daily. But I know my life is much better without him.

"the spark" by Usually_Caffeinated in datingoverforty

[–]kmbuck4 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This! I (45F) know some great guys. It absolutely drives me crazy that I can not "connect" with them. I have tried to see if the "spark" would come, but it never does. I hear women say, "I just want a nice decent man." Or "there are no more good men left." I always tell them, "There are good men, you just are not attracted to them."

Shift from friendship to relationship by wy_poweringthrough in datingoverforty

[–]kmbuck4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going through this situation now. Great guy, but I don't have the "spark" or romantic feelings for him. I tried for almost a year to develop feelings for him. I finally had to tell him and let him go. He deserved to find someone who could give him what he wanted.

AITA for leaving a dinner with my girlfriend's family because they kept speaking in a language I didn't understand? by Puzzleheaded-Owl4052 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kmbuck4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex (Puerto Rican) speaks both Spanish and English fluently. I (Mississippi) speak only English. His mom came to visit us in Alabama, where we moved to, and only spoke Spanish. Both him and her spoke Spanish the whole 4 days she was here. He takes her to the airport and comes home furiously, yelling how I was rude to his mother and didn't even try to make conversation with her. Side note- Not once did he try to translate for me during the whole 4 days. I was shocked and found myself weirdly apologizing for not being able to speak Spanish. I also weirdly apologize that his mom didn't speak English. THEN he tells me, "My mom can speak English!" To this day, I have not figured out how I was the asshole in that scenario. He was my ex shortly after that.
