@major disaster I'm so so sorry. I would give you a hug if I could. Same thing happened to me a few months ago. Met him online, thought it was the ultimate success story and that the dating site would want to use our wedding photos in their commercials. Then it just imploded. It's hard. Just take care of yourself, okay?

@major disaster I had the same thing happen on OKC, met and fell in love with this dude who after telling me I was "the one" told me 2 months later he needed some time to think. 2 days later I re-opened my OKC account to find he was already back on! what a douche! it sucks, but time heals all wounds etc...good luck with the process xoxo

I tried out random sites: OK, Match, (even E-Harmony as an experiment hoping for a "the last place you'd think you'd find someone" experience). I was in my early 40's and I kept getting matched with guys 55 and over who had interests and etc so far outside of my own. Almost zero in common except for locale. As a test, I then created a fake profile listing my age as 36. I got matched up with, surprise, almost the same guys 55 and over. Not even one or two in their late 30's or 40's. I deleted all the profiles and now just rely on the "chance and happenstance" method of meeting guys. I'm pretty social anyway so it's not that big of a deal but now I seem to get hit on by mostly 20 or 30 somethings. It's not horrible, but still, a bit frustrating if I think about it too much. Which I try not to do.
