First date with a seemingly nice man met through Hinge. The pre-date texting had gone well, he was smart, articulated, kind, great career, lots of things in common. He organized a nice dinner date at a lovely restaurant. So far so good.

10 mins into the dinner, he casually mentions that this marriage ended a year ago after his ex-wife discovered YET ANOTHER affair of his after a string of infidelity. His ex-wife left him and he couldn’t believe it as he thought she would never be able to live without him (quoting his words). She has quickly moved on with another man and he is all bitter and hurt about it. He then tried to get together with the latest affair partner but she rejected him and stayed in her marriage. So he is now all alone, poor booboo.

After his revelation, I did not react, I calmly finished my meal and then left with an excuse. He has since been texting me no stop asking me to go out with him again and saying how much he liked me.

I am speechless.
