DFW Dating

Now that I have had my LBM and finally realised the extent of the mess I am now too embarrassed and fearful to get into a relationship. I think that I consider myself an irresponsible person now and don't feel worthy of anybody, and also dating is expensive - new undies ;), dates etc! I think there should be a DFW dating site for us likeminded people!
Second and final LBM 01/01/11 Nearly got there but fell of wagon. HAVE to do it this time :mad:

  • Squirrel - I'll bet DFW dating is more fun than clubbing/expensive meals/clothes etc. Best things in life are free an all that.
    Plus honesty is admirable thing and I'll bet many would prefer that than the fast lane.
    Just the witterings of an' oldie..

  • Hi Squirrel I know exactly how you feel. I have just entered a new relationship and we've only beet together 6 weeks and I'm absolutely terrified to tell him about my financial situation. I've managed to pay off nearly all of my credit cards but I have a secured loan along with my mortgage that i'm paying each month. My repayments are manageable but I'm still ashamed of this secured loan. I took it out to repay debt some years ago and then run the debt up again (pre LBM).

    I was on my own for 5 years and know exactly how your feeling. This man came into my life when I was least expecting it and has made me happier than I have ever been. We haven't had any expensive dates yet, we're quite happy eating fish and chips in the car, or going for walks or just staying in with a chinese and cheap bottle of plonk. As for the undies - Peacocks and George have some real bargains!!!

    Don't ever feel that your not worthy of having somebody. Big hugs
