I'll probably get shot down in flames for this but.....
PP – While I agree that it was wrong of him to be pushy I also think it was wrong for you to lead him to think it was going to happen.
I completely agree that no should mean no but you told him that you were falling for him, that he was ‘the one’ etc and you hadn’t even been on 2nd date yet then on 2nd date you invite him back to yours for the evening… of course he’s going to try it on!!
It was after the second date!
I didnt tell him i was falling for him! Or that he was the one!
He was the one who said that he was falling for me!!
I invited him back, cos i have lodgers here, so I knew I was 'safe'.
I had made it clear before, that i wasnt ready for anything physical...“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning,
but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”

You see, that's what I'm getting at.
That's always been the case with the offside rule.
i get the offside rule...
You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have.
The female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with desire.
Both of you have forgotten your purses.
It would be totally rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes.
The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.
Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma.
She prepares to throw her purse to you.
If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes.
At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and, *whilst it is in flight* you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes.
Always remembering that until the purse had *actually been thrown* it would be plain wrong to be forward of the other shopper.0 -

Felt that amazing spark.....hadn't felt that with n e of the other guys I spoke to on POF!
We moved on to chatting on messenger and it was great.
On one occassion we said goodbye and neither of us wanted to go...so it took us an hour to finally log-off! LOL!
(Smiling now - thinking about that).
Another time I said "Bye honey, will miss you.."
He said "I am missing you already"
We met up for the first time and had a great time..just chatting and cuddling. We held hands as we walked down the street and it felt so natural.
After that the long chats continued...he even said he was falling in love with me. Really felt like I had met 'the one'
Second date..he was different. Went for a drink and he seemed to be in a hurry to leave the pub.
Got back to mine and he was all over me. I just wanted to chat and hold hands and cuddle, but wasn't ready for anything else.
He was pushing it though.
I felt pressurised and we ended up having a bit of a tiff over it.
He went home and thats the last I heard.
Apart from a quick text earlier to say he had just woken up and was on his way to work (he works nights). Still got xxx's on the text msg though.
Feel that he was just after one thing..
My lodger (also my friend) said "Sounds like he was just grooming you for sex"
Totally agree, he was just after one thing, I've had this numerous times, even on a first date! they expect to be invited in for a "coffee".
Don't despair, keep fishing!Be who you are, say what you feel, those who mind don't matter, those who matter don't mind.They say that talking to yourself is a sign of mental illness. So I talk to the cats instead.0 -

Yep, the more I think about it the more I think that is the case...just after one thing.
Thank you for your words of encouragement! x“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning,

I found one in my local rag...sounded really good! But I am in East Mids, so no good to you...sorry!
Spice are national..you could try them. It's more a social club, but it's a good way to meet people.
