Not quite falling in love but I just got out of a comedy disaterous relationship about a month before Christmas.
Makes me cringe what a fool I was.
We were kinda seeing each other for about 2 months.
Met in the pub (first red flag there).
She likes a drink and so do I, we get on really well, met her friends, all OK.
Got a bit sexual! All OK so far..
Then the ghosting started.. Arrange to meet up, agreed then stood up.
Que apologies that she’s out with work mates etc. When we’d already agreed to meet.
A drunken call saying she loved me.
Another big red flag but gave her the benefit of doubt again.
Had a candid conversation about things but the same pattern repeated.
I then saw she had gotten her nose periced randomly on Facebook, looked OK but her comment on social media was ‘mid life crisis part 2’.
I can only assume I was mid life crisis part 1.
We then basically ‘broke up’ even though we weren’t really together in the first place but dumb ass me had emotional investment by this point. She was cute and very charismatic.
A week or so after she turns up at my local drinking hole (looking for attention I guess)
I kinda ignore her but end up talking..
Just polite conversation.
Then she kept turning up randomly as she knew I go to this particular pub for an after work pint.
I got a bit ansy about the way she was and suggested there’s plenty of other pubs she can go to without bothering me (this is in a city so there’s no reason to keep bothering me).
She told me to grow up and blocked me on social media. OK whatever.
Anyway, she was basically a sociopath.
I should know better as I’m in my 40s, so it wasn’t a pleasant experience.
TLDR: I should be old enough to spot this crap but put up with it as my eyes got all starry.
Foot note: she wasn’t even called Louise!
