Now I'm thinking of all the things I've said or done that could have been seen as annoying.

Dating is like walking on eggshells. One wrong move and you're out of the game. You are the weakest link goodbye.

Haha! It does feel that way. I feel like there is a lot of trial and error, and I'm essentially started over with each new attempt. I don't mean that to sound defeatist, just that it can be so confusing. I think the easiest ones were those which, looking back, had AS traits.

If you suggest going bowling, you won't have to walk on eggshells.

It's also an opportunity for a man and a woman to assess whether they're attractive to each other.

Does the woman, say, like it when a man "positions" her before she takes her first shot?

Lol I think that only happens in movies kraftiekortie

OK, I've managed to talk myself round. Highlamas point about putting things in perspective and looking at who someone really is makes sense. Maybe this chap isn't such a perfect match.

I used to know someone who I had a better rapport with. Unfortunately he moved away and we lost contact, but remembering that makes me realise the current guy is probably not as good for me as I was hoping. He was just affectionate with me for a while and I really wanted that to last.

Aaand now I'm missing the old guy. Looked him up on social media and there's not a trace of him. We used to have really good conversations. We could sit and talk for hours. I miss that. I wish we'd kept in touch.

I'm feeling a lot better. Been spending some time with friends and feel much better about myself.

I don't think it's me, I've just had bad luck in the kinds of superficial guys I've met or they just we guys who didn't want a commitment.

Someone pointed out to me yesterday that living in the countryside means I've not actually met a huge range of people. There's a whole world out there of people still to meet.

I tend to avoid people who make we walk on eggshells, they aren't worth it.

Real friends see the real person, and a mate should be similar. We all wear mask, but we have to take them of at some point.

I was being a bit dramatic. I don't mean walking on eggshells as in I'm scared to make a squeak in case this person gets upset, I meant when you are just getting to know someone and they don't really know your personality yet you can say something silly out of nerves and come across all wrong. They think, hmmm, I don't know if this is worth it and don't persevere and get to know you better.

It's easy for people to be too judgemental and think, I give up, someone better will come along, when the perceived problem isn't a red flag at all.
