Yeah, that's exactly the kind of person scumsuckers look for and target .

I'm a bit older now and far more comfortable with myself so I'm no longer like that.

I like giving people chances...and that usually backfires.

I've stopped with the chance stuff... if someone irritates me or does something that irks me, I'm over it immediately. I don't have room in my life for 'energy vampires' or mean people. I *may* have met someone but I'm keeping it fairly mum because I'm not sure it's going to go anywhere. So...we'll see.

They have names for guys like that.

They are called d*ckheads.

I won't really know until next week...he has some school stuff to finish up, but his final is later this week and after that his schedule will open up since he'll officially be a graduate. I have a weird feeling he'll disappear because that's what my track record is thus far, but I've still got my fingers crossed. We met through a dating site and he hasn't logged in since we met so I think that may be a good sign

Her problem, not yours. Be glad it's not you. People like that tend to be real jerks. I know believe me!!

Exactly what I was thinking. Why turn what could otherwise be a nice evening into a drama-fest? He seemed like he was desperate for some sort of power over her. Like he wanted to dominate the interaction no matter what.

If so, it could be possible the woman questions herself and has not felt that good or confident about herself for sometime. She would be feeling worse about herself after that dinner.

What would be more sad--or angering--is if she had been looking forward to that evening. You can beat people up in other ways besides hitting them. The invisible wounds can be the deepest and most scarring.

I don't care if she was a prostitute or a homeless prostitute. He could have given her that dinner and her place among others in that restaurant that evening.
She was not overweight in any way. The guy was just an arrogant d*ck. She seemed perfectly pleasant and normal. He came across as full of himself, which is always a cover for major insecurity.
