I am also a middle aged woman with many positive qualities and yet, for whatever reason, I am not trying to meet a man. I figure if someone ends up in my life I’ll take it from there. Since I am recovering from a my first odd EUM encounter, late in life, I certainly will be aware of the signs so as to never get involved in that scenario again.
I am sure there are some good guys on dating sites, but the middle aged men I know who who have tried it are looking for easy, no trouble women, usually for fun. One man I know actually gleefully described online dating as being in a candy store. I was stunned, it sounded so juvenile.
Obviously if these guys you meet say things are great and they can’t wait to see you again….and then don’t….they are not exactly men of their word. NIce that you found this out early on, I think dishonesty is one of the trademarks of the EUM. Either their original words of interest were not true, or they don’t have the guts to speak their truth and let you know they are not interested in developing a relationship. I bet some don’t really know what they are hoping to find.
I would not take their behavior personally at all. No need to be validated by guys who make glib statements of intent and flake. My guess is you might be a bit too mature for the fun and games many of them are looking for. I also bet your confidence is a bit intimidating to some. In my book there is nothing to be done about any of that.
I don’t know why but I cannot imagine trying to meet someone from a dating site. For whatever reason, maybe hope and faith, I fully expect that I will meet a good man in the normal course of my day to day life events, without trying.
Just keep doing what you love, be kind to yourself and to others, and don’t let ” fading” men influence your good opinion of you.
@ Millionaire Matchmaker,
I have read that what you say is true – that being and appearing confident opens doors and reaps rewards.
So, how does someone feel confident when those around them belittle and abuse them? How do you appear confident when you are afraid of upsetting someone in your household? How do you get dangerous people out of your life when you don’t feel in control?
How do you guide yourself from misery and depression to “The sun will come out tomorrow??”
How do you explain to someone alone and hurting that they need healing and rebuilding, that simply getting introduced to a millionaire or other attractive mate won’t solve all the problems, all the excess baggage?
Just guessing from your name, Millionaire Matchmaker, and looking at the sunny post – this seems more like a promotional blog entry for yourself. And it almost looks like you failed to identify who your audience is, or what we need most.
Thanks for the ray of sunshine, though!
