Met a woman last week for drinks and hit it off. I liked her and she liked me. She knew I was separated and was fine with it.

After several emails planning a second date she started talking about me being separated and could not date me, said I should work things out. Talking more we realized we were really attracted to each other so today she emails and wants to meet for lunch.

AWESOME! We text back and forth about where to eat and what time. I stop and pick up a single rose for her, go to the restaurant and wait. Ten minutes later I get a text:

"I'm not coming. I'm sorry. Pls don't txt me or email me. This is not the right time for us. I can't do this."


WTF!!!!!!!

Well she's thought about it and made her decision.

to the curb she must go

well...while her timing seriously sucks (she could have told you before you got there *rolls eyes*) at least she did tell you...it's better than some do. Some just don't show up, don't answer the phone, don't text or email or respond to any of the same. My sympathies tho

sucks! sorry

Sounds like she was the game player...I know it bugs you, but sounds like your better off.

That's rough buddy,take yourself out,be happy and move on.

First of all, thank you for being honest and not hiding the fact that you are seperated and not divorced. She has a right to decide whether or not she wants to be involved with that and it seems she has decided not to. She probably wanted to see you again, and really did like you... but in the end, she just couldn't do it.
Move on

I don't know. Why do you keep asking me?

Oh how nice that was to be TEXTED to the curb?... sorry guy BUT no matter HOW she has performed the act, it IS still her decision that she must live with , right ?... hang in there dude

Separated....especially separated with kids....most people think there is big chance they'll go back to their spouse.

Sorry for you being stood up....but better now than after a few dates...
Cheers and good luck...if she appears again....run!!

One thing that bugs me about it is that on her profile she lists separated as being acceptable.

About my date:

Relationships:

* Never Married,
* Widowed,
* Currently Separated,
* Divorced

Question....why is this woman being called a game player, etc? I think there are a lot of women that don't date married men. I admit her thoughts should have been ironed out before you left to go and meet her, but...

Hhhmm, sounds like she's a bit confused, and a tad bit fickle possibly.

At least she let you know that she wasn't coming...that's on the plus side I guess.

Move on, least you only bought a single rose and not a dozen

Hmmm just saw your post about seperated being okay. Have no ideas for ya then.

Ive been seperated over 3 years...would neverrrrrrrrrr go back to him....but makes for difficult conversations. I think she isnt a GAME PLAYER but was playing games with the Yes I will, no I wont after knowing he was on his way. She should have thought enough about his feelings to not even say she was going to show, if she even thought she might back out.

Well you know how women are. We talk things to death. My guess would be she was on the phone with friends saying oh GO or Don't you DARE and she flip flopped on what she should do before finally making a decision.

Let's see... halfway is what? Bainbridge??

How long HAVE you been seperated?

hell go give the rose to your x. lol
