BloomAllhoney!
Great balls of fire! What a horrible experience. One moment you're feeling safe, relaxed - your guard is down and you're enjoying the moment - and then creepy! I mean, why couldn't he have just said, "I find you very attractive and enjoy spending time with you." Surely that would've provided a better outcome than "I want to rip your clothes off and fuck you." What a let down!!
One thing to consider is whether you're emitting some vibe toward men that provokes them? I'm a girl - so trust me - I'm not blaming you or accusing you of being a prick tease - at all!!!! But, if you come off confident, straightforward, outgoing - maybe men think you can handle (or even prefer) their directness? You don't sound desperate to me, so I doubt that's the vibe. Maybe next time you meet a nice guy and get to the second or third date - tackle the situation beforehand by telling him you're interested, but need to develop a mental/intellectual connection before becoming physically intimate. This will either weed out the losers or set expectations for the good guys. Just random advice....I'm not exactly a seasoned dater!
I don't know anything about the legality of mace or pepper spray - but if you're out there actively dating you may want to carry something in your handbag that will add another layer of protection - should you need it. When I was in my early 20's I knew several people who were slipped "roofies" (I think that's what they're called -- the date rape drug)....including my boyfriend at the time (though I think it was meant for me and we inadvertently switched drinks) multiple acquaintances and I was slipped something while I was on a date (though I don't think my date was the one who actually spiked my drink). It's been over a decade since I dated but I imagine not much has changed regarding the availability or use of date rape drugs.
Dating sites! Oi Vey! I created a Match account in November and KNOW I signed up for the 3-month option. After many ridiculous Talk Match messages and one bad experience I decided to cancel my subscription. Match had me signed up for 6-months at $120.00 and will NOT reimburse the unused portion. I guess I should've read the fine print! In addition, my DB ex-husband is on Match (awkward) AND even though I cancelled my account I'm still being barraged with emails from Match with "Daily Matches" and apparently my profile is still visible because I'm receiving winks and member messages, too. It's all such a scam - drives me nuts!!!!
My therapist told me about a local club that hosts events - and you can pick and choose which activities you want to participate in based on your interests. I don't recall the name but she was very anti-Match.com and recommended this group as a better alternative to meeting people. She had a lot of good things to say about it - I'll ask her what the group is called and PM you the information.
Good luck out there AllHoney. Stay safe!

Good for you honey! All it took was a little straightforward communication to get you to where you're at. Maybe I'll take your lead on that. ðŸ˜Bloom
You are definitely in my head...lol. So I did something I have never done in my dating life. I called up the guy I referenced at the start of this thread. I told him to tell me why he brought up sex so soon and did I lead him on some sort of way without realizing it. Well his answer shocked me and to be honest, I don't know whether to flattered or offended. So here is what he said
I did nothing that made him think I wanted sex, however he told me I am incredibly beautiful and perky and what guy doesn't want to "bang" a hot chic and after meeting so many debbie downers who go on and on about how bad men have treated them, and have these entitlement complexes. He said it's refreshing to be with a positive woman who is just all around fun. This gets the juices flowing and made him think if I'm this perky then I must be great in bed.....um yeah...weird huh?...maybe I'll never understand men. He also mentioned something I had never heard before. He said he'd always heard women who wear glasses (which I do) are great in bed................I'm like wtf....really. Maybe I need to pop on my contacts a bit more...lol
Long story short we had a good talk and I let him know that he made me feel like a whore so he apologized and asked if we could start things over. So I agreed and we are dating again now and to my surprise he is quite the gentleman. I haven't been on here as much because we go out quite a lot. Actually we agreed to just go ahead an be monogamous but take things slow and go at a pace I'm comfortable with. He doesn't pressure me and that's good thing. So as of a few days ago, I'm off the market and have a boyfriend.
Thanks for all the comments and if anybody has anything to add, please feel free. I'm always open for discussion on this topic
And yes.........I have my kratom for those who know what kratom does to me!
Yeah it certainly can't hurt. I'm still a tad bit shocked myself but it's certainly freeing to have answers.Good for you honey! All it took was a little straightforward communication to get you to where you're at. Maybe I'll take your lead on that.

I couldn't have done it without you guys....thanks!That's awesome Honey! Happy for you! Brave of you to pick up that phone, girl!
Well, there certainly is that stereotype of the prim and proper secretary /clerk who wears glasses, and becomes a pure sensual hottie just by taking her spectacles off.Am I the only one who's never heard the whole thing about women who wear glasses are great in bed?
I asked a girlfriend of mine about this cause I thought he was being silly but she said she had heard it too.
I'm not believing glasses can lead some guys down horn dog lane...no way!
Ahhhh yeah you are right. Then there's the naughty glasses wearing librarian (funny I was in college to become one until the program lost its accreditation), how could I forget this stuff. Oh okay, it all makes sense now.....my gawd!!! Now I'm thinking of Thomas Dolby's She Blinded Me With Science video and the woman is indeed wearing glasses.Well, there certainly is that stereotype of the prim and proper secretary /clerk who wears glasses, and becomes a pure sensual hottie just by taking her spectacles off.
LOL! I've reached my like quota for the day but I had to give you thumbs up for this!Hehe you said "hard" and "throttle". Hehe
