I have been on the dating scene for 20 years (uck, ick, horrible), and the majority of the men I have met........it seems they have a pattern love-bombing..you are so beautiful, blah blah blah,and then they disappear....I sure didn't want to be alone at 70, but this is ridiculous. Didn't want to make this about me.....but letting you know what is out there. I am sorry.....The shame belongs to that guy, NOT to you.......I usually ask myself......is this HIS stuff or MY stuff; usually HIS stuff/problem. I like the saying "Don't let anyone steal your joy"---That is hard sometimes, I know.
