UPDATE: I blocked him everyone, and I feel so much better. Had a day to think it over and I need to listen to my gut more. He totally threw me! Thank you for your support 💜 I'm so glad FDS is here
So.
I'm in my mid twenties. This guy was in his early thirties.
Rich business guy. Really respectful. Called me a few times prior to a first date. Wanted to do dinner and drinks.
I thought it went well. I didn't put my hand in my pocket all night. He was again very respectful.
Red flags were that he loved to talk about money, business and travelling. It was all about him. He also mentioned his last relationship broke down because he wanted kids and she didn't. Seemed quite egocentric and told me several times his female friends told him that he intimidated women with his charisma etc. He also mentioned he was done for tax evasion, and he used a fake name online 🤦♀️ he also got pretty offended that I mistook his previous profession for another profession.
So I guess he was kind of a dick. But I did feel like the fact I didn't have multiple businesses and hadn't travelled literally everywhere meant we were in different life positions. My job is great and I've travelled but idk what this guy wanted. He knew the basics about me before the date, including FaceTime, so it wasn't my looks...and he knew me enough on the phone to get an idea.
Either way, he blew smoke up my ass that he'd take me to lunch the next day and future dates. I said that would be nice.
Then nothing. The next morning, nothing. I sent one text because I hadn't replied to his goodnight text, saying "hope you're well. I had fun.' then asked him how his day was looking. He sent a noncommittal voice note back and I got the hint.
I feel weirdly embarrassed. He chased me like I was the Beatles and then nothing. I feel like I've been massively fucked with, and I stayed pretty interior/well-behaved. I guess he just didn't see it going anywhere.
I feel awful about it all. The weird rejection, the money power rolling. Talk about a hit to the confidence. I feel like I've been fucked over but I can't quite pinpoint what's making me feel so bad.
