You just need like a decade of counseling.

That's pretty much all you should take from everything you write.

I hope he simply means reporting her to HR or consulting a labor law attorney, like he should have in the first place I suppose.

I was talking about in the context of dating. I thought that was pretty obvious given that the thread is about dating. You basically sound like you want to punish future dates for what past dates have "done" to you . My point is that you are only hurting yourself for sure - because not all of your future dates will allow you to hurt them.

Look - you asked for advice. We gave it to you. Now it just sounds like you are looking for a fight - about ANYTHING. You are trying to turn dating advice into an argument about bullying.

If you can't go into a situation with a positive attitude - you should wait to put yourself into that situation until you can do so. I don't understand why you would continue to date when it sounds like you are just angry at dating.

I wouldn't even consider bullies a life changing event, let alone something to have a bad attitude about for 15 years.

Bullies are everywhere, it's a part of life. Some are much worse, some just try.....

I'm trying to relate to your mindset, and honestly can't. I can't see how you can have a healthy relationship with a woman with your outlook on life.

It doesn't sound like you have a healthy relationship with yourself.

im not angry at any of my dates , I liked those women and they were not only beautiful but great persons , I hate that I wasn't enough for them but that's my fault , the reptile of an evil creature I refered to from my past is a whole other story , I could never do enough to them to balance out what they did to me , would not have brought the monster up if a " victim blaming " style comment had not been trotted out


the point of the thread is to explore the idea of being completely upfront with someone so as to protect oneself , I cant take anymore rejection so I might ask the next girl I go on a date with if she sees anything happening between us , if she says no , that's completely fine , one girl I dated three months ago emailed me afterwards to say I was a nice guy but she didn't see things going anywhere , that was fine and tbh , I wasn't really feeling anything for her despite her being great fun to hang out with for three hours or so

ive met with girls and not talked to them afterwards as their was zero chemistry , things were civil but the girl would have been in no doubt that their would be no further meetings , its the ones who give the impression they want to perhaps make something and then pull the rug who I have difficulty with
