I made a mistake tonight

Men are ******** pure and simple, you just have to find the one that you can live with, its tough. AB

AmyBeth-shame on you!  (I've always wanted to say that, heh heh heh).

I don't think men are ******** but I do honestly and truly believe that they are fundamentally different from women.  The best any of us can do is decide how we want to be treated and avoid those who can't comply.  I have this vision of some man somewhere typing on his computer "Women are soooo demanding"

Ok, back to my earlier disclaimer, I suck at relationships so I will shut up now.  I really take to heart the old saying, don't go away mad, just go away.......

Deb, No I have had men who are friends flat out tell me that guys are and to watch out!  I always trust them and then get let down.  The sad thing is I agree with the how we get treated but you can't give someone a heart who doesn't have one, I can't tell you how many times I have met a guy told him I can't take anymore hurt been there and done that too much and darn if they don't turn around and slam ya in the face too! It gets old really really fast! AB

PM'd you-but in case anyone else misunderstood, I wasn't asking AB to go away....

 

Thanks Amy we love you too.

Sorry can you tell I am a little pissed, sent you a PM.  All they do is play with your emotions, some send you mixed messages about your beauty and wanting to spend time with you and then drop you like a hot potato when something else better comes along!  They tell you they want to spend time with you and then never show.  I know how Liz feels in her post the other day and I was not kidding it doesnt get any easier after WLS.  Some people forget how you were there for them too and it hurts. AB

Everyone above has given you great words of advice. I can't top what they have already said. I just want to offer understand, hugs, and to let you know that you have a bright future full of things to enjoy! I've got you in my prayers ... and go smoke that lab final!!! : )

I can't add any better advice than you have already gotten in here. Just remember YOU are a wonderful, unique individual who deserves the best in life. Hang in there. It'll get better and when you least expect it, BAM...there you are. As the old saying goes, you gotta kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince. It's true. Besides, you don't need a man to validate you. You want a man to cherish you..and the right one will.

I was burned badly twice before meeting my DH...and he's worth it all.

Michelle... For starters... Sorry, I'm late to the ballgame on this one, but **hugs**.   Two, dating after WLS is hard, too.  Dating before was hard, dating after is hard, dating is hard,  I think you're a beauty...  I think you're gonna make someone really happy and I hope you don't stay down and depressed over your ex, hon.  I'm here to talk to you anytime...  I'm probably close to correct in assuming we're around the same age.  I've been divorced and thrown back into the dating game and I know it's hard.  You get less trusting after a bad split... I know it's been over a year, but if you need more time, then that is what you need.  If you want to move on, then I'm full of suggestions on ways to lift your spirits and do it.  Feel free to PM me anytime or heck, ask me for my number and call me if you ever want to talk.  I'm always all ears, girl!

What I would do, and it's just because I am kind of a Smarta$$, wait a couple a months, get all dressed up, go out with somefriends, and accidently run into him.  Make him eat his words for hurting you. Thats just me though
