New guys ex

elainer1

I was dating a guy recently ..went on 4 dates and I really liked him.i thought it might develop into something so was a bit upset when he texted to say his ex was on the trip they were on recently and they were giving it another go. Two weeks after that I heard from Him again to say it hadn't worked out and could we give it another go.would I be a fool to go back?

Well what happens if he texts the same thing again?

I wouldnt do it again. Too much stress.

YES!!! After 2 weeks it didn't work out with the ex - and now he has decided to hook you back in.
My ex and I are giving it another go is the oldest line in the book!

Steer clear OP.

Oldest line in the book?as in you reckon the situation with the ex might not have been genuine and there's something else going on?

I have to confess having used it myself when I don't want to see someone any more

So: he may have got back with the ex for the 2 weeks or he met someone else and wanted to see how that worked out and it didn't. Either way OP you were second best - never be second best.

This hits the nail on the head. Whatever the actual circumstances, I wouldn't bother seeing him again.

Hi OP,

just to reiterate what's being said, I have a similar story for you.

Recently I had a situation with a guy who acted all interested, was flirting with me on nights out etc, and I really, really liked him. He's chatty, witty, well read - all the things I like. So I thought - ooh, this looks promising. But the next thing I knew, he was suddenly all over a particular very beautiful, statuesque girl in the company, while completely ignoring me! I was stunned, and very disappointed, as well may you imagine.

What happened the very next time I saw him, though, is things obviously didn't go well with the other girl and he was right back around sniffing after me! Well, very far from feeling happy or relieved, I just felt humiliated and even further disappointed in him. The whole things puts him in a very bad light. He's still the tall and witty guy I met, but I could never, NEVER have any respect or attraction for someone who behaves like that, and neither should you.

Trifling with people like that is a just a huge red flag for anyone sensible or, dare I say it, self-respecting.

I don't think you should be in a dilemma right now, I think you should feel disgusted and doubly glad to have seen the back of him.

Best wishes.

Really? People actually do that? If I met someone else, I'd usually tell the first person. I mean, it's only fair and honest ...

Back on topic, absolutely don't go back to him. He had his opportunity and he's wasted it.

OP, Run like hell and dont look back.

Hey OP,

Agree with the above posts, do not give him another chance and cut him out of your life. You do not need the hassle. The total cheek of him, you should never sell yourself short.

Completely agree with Dovies, never, ever be second best.
