I met a man on match. We emailed back and forth for a while, then talked on the phone a few times. Rather than letting me get to know him, he spent most recently of the conversation complaining about out match dates. We finally agreed to meet for coffee.At 9 am the day we were supposed to meet, he called to reschedule. When I sounded less than cheerful , he said i was not supportive. Then I asked him to select a different time and place to meet, he was not able to ‘come up’ with a place. Even though we never met in person, his body language was coming through loud and clear.
I share this to help to remind everyone their attitudes and self confidence, or lack thereof , come through with what you write, how you speak and how you hold yourself in person. I won’t share the details of his nasty gram that followed. I will share I’ve got a date with a great guy with self confidence tomorrow evening.
So when that bump in the road happens, just let it roll off of you and keep on going.

Yep, surprising how many folks do this. Met a dude who decided upon a spur of the moment trip to my town (probably for ulterior motives it turned out) who was a good 40 lbs heavier than his pics and was gobsmacked that I actually looked like my photos. Like your dude he became extremely nervous, kept promising to loose weight, then drank too much, twas the very last I saw or heard from him. I realize my body is far from perfect but let the guy be the judge also knowing that men are far, far, less observant of detail than are we women.
