Typically if a man tells you he isn’t interested in commitment, it’s to let you know he’s only up to casual stuff. In addition to acting aloof at public events after sleeping together, including not even dancing with you or next to you at the club (the first time it happened), was a clear message that he doesn’t mind good fun but he’s not interested in anything more and will live his life and you live yours.

You even had to ask his friend if Jay likes you, and that’s after he slept with you! You don’t ever have to ask such thing. You’d know. If the guy sleeps with you but then doesn’t even stand by you at the bar, no second chances. Bye. We’re done. You are too nice and you always give second chances. No need for that. I am p…d off half the time on your behalf reading about these bozos.

Now there’s no judgement as I did same stupid stuff myself! Plenty! But we are getting too old for this stuff. No second chances. No guessing how they feel. No hoping they’ll change. Nope. No second chances. Bye bye
You're right. I had forgotten about that night - early on, when Jay wouldn't dance or even stand next to me at the bar and I had to ask his friend if he liked me.

Thank you for your angry feelings on my behalf... I have to stop being so open minded, and I think that's where I start to bend and flex on issues as they arise. It's great food for thought for me. TY.
