On Thursday I went on a first date with a new guy from a dating app, it went really well and we messaged after. It felt so amazing and perfect at the time, I honestly thought it was going to work out in the future after going on more dates and getting to know each other better. I was genuinely happy and I thought he was too. He said he wanted to see me again and we even made future plans to hang out. All I saw was green flags, we had a great day together. But literally the next day he didn’t reply to any of my messages, he ghosted me but he looked at my stories. I asked if he was ok, I wasn’t bombarding him or sending angry messages, I gave him plenty of time and space to reply but he just didn’t at all. He just randomly blocked me on everything for no reason, I’m so hurt. 💔😭 I know I didn’t do or say anything wrong on Thursday or Friday, I was just being myself. I was being genuinely kind and caring and making sure he was ok and comfortable being with me. He kept saying he liked me a lot and he even showed signs of that too so I definitely got that impression from him. I said sorry if I talk too much because of my ADHD just tell me to shut up (in a jokey lighthearted way), he said he didn’t mind me talking a lot and liked listening to me. He gave me lots of hugs and kisses throughout the day, he was being so nice to me. What happened? I’m so confused. 😭 It feels like he lied to me and lead me on on Thursday, then Friday he ghosts me. I told him to be honest with me and he said he was being honest. I really liked him and saw a future with him, he definitely showed through his actions that he felt the same way on Thursday.

Unfortunately things went downhill on Friday night when I was about to go to bed, I knew at this point he was definitely ignoring me and blocking me, I knew something was wrong. 😔 I called him on No Caller ID because he blocked my number, I tried a few times but not loads of times in a row, I did space them out. I messaged his friends just asking if he’s ok and what happened which none of them replied to. I messaged him on a different *** and *** account but he didn’t reply or block those accounts (yet). I am going to leave it now and not try messaging or calling him again. I know that was harassment and I want to stop. 😢 I also called my baby dad last night who I’m not supposed to have any contact with at all, just because I wanted to have a go at someone and I felt lonely. I feel like no one likes me or wants to date me and he’s someone I’m familiar with even though he is toxic and abusive and we can’t be in contact.

I feel like I’m failing as a parent and the way I’m behaving isn’t safe around my children just because of a stupid guy who blocked me! I know I need to be strong and not react like that, I need to think of my children! I need to put them both first, not other guys.

I know I don’t need him. There were 3 things we didn’t have in common anyway so maybe it’s a good sign he blocked me. 🤷🏼‍♀️ He smokes weed, he likes BDSM, we have different tastes in music. I don’t like any of those things and I definitely don’t want to date a smoker in general especially around my kids.

🥺

Im sorry he gave you mixed messages and wasnt upfront and honest instead of ghosting you.

No judgement but never doubt your worth.

Never waste time messaging someone that doesn't want the same , or their friends or leave any messages. Don't stoop to their level .

You matter.

You deserve to be happy.

Alot of people can be fake and tell us what they think we want to hear, that's a reflection on them, not you.

Dont let a bad date ruin anymore of your day 💜💕

How disappointing to have a great date, for the other person to just disappear on you. Such a huge let down. I can understand why you are upset. It hurts.

But I think you already know that it's time to pick yourself up and move on. However unfair this was, nothing you can do will fix this. You're right, the best thing you can do is care about yourself and your children. These are what is important.

Take care.
