Damn. Just damn.

Joei, get a grip and stop allowing strangers to have such power over you. You're out of control.

It just doesn't seem right...I've wore that coat so many times and have gotten compliments from guys. I agree it may have made me look like a WG, but what would it matter to him if I was a prostitute? I know he wasn't trying to marry me

I do not think it was a matter of you looking like a working girl. Perhaps it may have just come off as a bit too ostentatious for his liking.

Just because a guy isn't looking for a long-term relationship doesn't mean he wants a girl to look like a prostitute.

Twas your ego. Now let me ask you deep down inside are you having a feeling of really wanting this guy despite the outward anger? If he had turned out just unbelievably super nice and so eager for you would you have maybe brushed him off instead?

You need to cool off a little. You meet psycho's out there all of the time. That is life. Try to stand back and not take things so serious.

It sounds like it was his issue not yours.

The two are tied into one, but I'll tell you what - just consider each experience practice for the 'right one' and you will be able to chuckle it off easier. You're casting off too much negative energy and it'll only end up harming yourself as it circles back.

No name calling here, but you're young, you need to address your anger and you need to do some growing up. Could he have handled this better? Yes. However so could you. You allowed yourself to get so angry that you nearly ran yourself off the road. If this is how you deal with a small issue like this (yes this is small compared to issues that life throws at you), how are you going to handle something bigger?

First thing to figure out is was getting this angry worth it? Really? What did you lose? A mere few hours of getting dressed, driving and getting turned down? What would you have done had you not gone out? Watched TV or a movie?

Second thing to figure out is what else makes you this angry? If it is small things, then you're in for a lot of problems. Here is something to really get angry about. A 24 year old girl in the next town over from me disappeared one night and ended up in another state dead, her body burned and the killer had been sending texts to her family that the boyfriend did it (turned out to be false on that part). Now that is something to get angry about.

Third, you make it sound like you were owed a few hours of conversation. You can't force others to be with you, much less like you. Is it worth your time and effort to get so worked up over someone who doesn't want to spend time with you?

Now not all people online are losers or out of shape losers. You're angry at what happened so you're taking it out on others. This will definitely drive away any potential good guys that you're interested in.

You're young. You have a lot of time. Don't rush trying to find Mr. Right. You don't want to rush into something only to wind up in a bad marriage and horrible divorce. You need to calm down and rather than act out, think things through.

And I understand that it was not worth it. I know, now...but what made me so upset is that prior to our meet, we 'bickered' over who was going to see who, when then we just decided on half-way.

Now, Im a firm believer in The Rules Book for Online Dating, so for me to break those rules, was like shooting myself in the foot. The lesson learned, never break rules
