Got to agree with what everyone says.

I would add that you have to wise up to men, dont let a man treat you with this contempt. If you are not good enough to tell the whole world you are his georgous girlfriend, then i'm afraid he would be booted to the curb.

If they stand you up, or you have to do all the chasing, get rid of them. There are plenty of men out there, dont settle for less.

I knew all this deep down, which is why i only saw him at weekends when my kids were with their dad. Theyre my priority n i refused to let him be here when kids were here cos they dont need to see that. They know him cos of my brother n he lives on same street as my parents. Im not in love with him or anything, but i do like him. Oh well plenty more fish in the sea and all that lol xx

Yes there certainly are, and perhaps you could save yourself grief and embarrassment if you wait a few months, rather than a few weeks, before you sleep with one.

Just accept it for it was- a bit of fun for both of you- and move on. Don't beat yourself up about it- he certainly won't be fretting.

im now wondering if i should just be honest with him and tell him that i really like him and i dont care who knows

Unfortunately I think you've already made that perfectly clear, and by backing off as he has, he's made it perfectly clear he's not interested in taking it further. 'Being honest with him' now would just be embarrassing for both of you.

please read two books - I recommend them to all my single friends..

One is called - he's just not that into you
the other is 'the rules'

These will be real eye openers for you and will hopefullygive you guidance in the giddy world of dating and new relationships,

Enjoy dating someone - you are worth more than an occasional shag!

Hey, look at it this way, you got to shag a hot 20 year old a couple of times. Result!

Now move on.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say this is exactly what you need right now. Rebounding is dangerous, and it's that that made you think he might be boyfriend potential, when he very clearly wasn't. Relax. Don't try to find a partner/boyfriend. Date several men. Don't get your emotions involved. Just have a nice time - with nice men, I'm not saying go and find sleazebags for a series of one night stands. Get it out of your system and then when the right chap does pop up one day, you'll be emotionally ready for it.

Agree with here to learn - accept it for what it was and don't try to read anything into it. Best of luck - I wouldn't want to be out on the dating scene now - its all changed far too much. Lots of love - think what advice you would give to your friend. And treat yourself accordingly.

Another that agrees with the rest. Hes 20, he wants fun, maybe hes trying to keep you sweet in case he fancies a bit.

Move on hun. x
