All men suck, it’s official, and not in the good way. Last night was date #5 with Mr Tall. Easy conversation, good cuddles, lots of laughs, but as my fairy tales post suggested, I didn’t quite know where I stood. Mixed messages abounded. We’d had two sleep over dates but no shagging which while a little frustrating, I thought was quite sweet.
Last night he explained why he’d been a bit stand off-ish, and it’s ranking right up there as one of the top reasons for not dating me. Apparently I remind him too much physically of the guy that left his sister at 8 months pregnant never to be seen again. Um what? Someone hurt your sister and I remind you of him physically so you can’t date me? Did I forget to mention this psychologically damaging even happened FOURTEEN years ago?!?! Would it be wrong to suggest therapy for trust and commitment issues?
okay, that takes the cake! i’m so sorry for you but that brought a nice laugh to me on this terrible weathered mornin.
Although justified, yup its wrong to tell him he is one of the most oddly damaged manbois that walks the continent, but I wonder if he is still upset by the fact the guy just ran off or was it that your doppelganger didn’t run off with damaged manboi?
btw “mensuck the social club” is forming and international charters are available.
In my opinion, that’s a bullshit reason. If the resemblance is so uncanny, I find it hard to believe he would have been attracted to you in the first place. Whatever the case, I definitely don’t feel like he’s being completely honest, which isn’t a good thing in the first place.
Brenton,
Something else is going on. The reason is complete bullshit.
He(or it) was trying to break it off with you, for God only knows why. You will never know the truth and you’ll make yourself crazy thinking about it.
Shake the dust off and move on.
I can even smell BS on blogs.
But then it also makes me wonder if I have given BS reasons to guys I do not like.
Better off without him. He was scraping the barrel thinking that one up.
Brenton, it’s an early warnign sign - just walk away. Having been there, done that and ignored the signs myself. Just turn around and move on. I know, easier said than done. but, why damage yourself?
Uh huh. I see. So that’s his story and he’s sticking to it? Don’t walk away, run!
I have learned, by becoming old, that any excuse should be accepted and not questioned. People lie, they bullshit, they are embarressed by the truth, whatever. So, listen to it, say, “OK”, and let him go.
Yes - all men do suck, which is why I have now chosen a life of celibacy and which is why I no longer have any gay male friends. Welcome to my club.
a better man is waiting around the corner for you Brenton! Don’t give up hope! It’s frustrating, but when the right guy happens to come along, we want to know all the juicy details!! don’t wait till the 5th date to post info ;)
No, suggesting therapy would be in order here. Not only will it be a nice way for you to vent; if done properly it may actually help the idiot sap for not recognizing what a great man he has in front of him. Still run away from the bastard afterwards; but, you’ll be helping him, while being at peace & dying with laughter on the inside. Courage is the ability to tactfully take action without regard to honor or shame.
My bad! It is supposed to be glory or shame not honor or shame
This is the “lamest” excuse that I have EVER HEARD! What a loser is this guy. Dump the bum. What a tool! For God’s sake what happened to the saying “to thine ownself be true”? Why couldn’t he just say “look Brenton you are a nice guy but at this stage I’m not up to dating with you. This is about me and has NOTHING to do with you at all”. That would been a better way (more honest) of approaching the matter. Good luck in the future.
I recommend immediate surgery to remove his Bullshit Gland… The risks of non removal leave him wide open for you to leave him when he is eight months pregnant too
Dear Brenton,
I don’t think Rich and I can be friends with you anymore because you remind us of someone we saw on the internet once. That’s all.
Thanks for coming though. You could have been great if only you looked like someone else.

Oy vey, what a douchebag whackjob! You’re better of without him.
