I'm sorry that your date didn't go well, but I wonder why you took this persons comments and turned them around to say you were all of the negative things you posted you were. Did your date say exactly that to you? If not, it seems you are putting your shortcomings on him and then it turned into a tornado of sorts with all your emotions and feelings.

So many people these days are anything but upfront and honest with one another. I think your date did more of a service to you than a disservice in that neither one of you will waste your time on each other and you are both free to look elsewhere.

It's hard to find our special companion. Most of us will have many many dates with people before we find the one that "fits like a glove".

Of course we all have baggage. There is no one on this earth who hasn't felt the pain of a lost love or being physically or verbally or emotionally abused in some way shape or form. But, I think we owe it to ourselves to own our issues, work on them and do the best we can do. There is always hope. Each thing we go through in life is a learning experience. We do ourselves a huge service when we learn as much as we can from those experiences and apply them to the present.

I do understand that you may be feeling hurt right now and I'm really sorry for that.

Please take good care!
