OP Here: I have been avoiding paying for a site because I refuse to believe that at 26, I need to pay to find a date
OP, at 26 you need not to be so clingy and make better decisions including not posting people's names and personal information on a public website. Blabbing about this guy's mental health situation is uncool and you did it to make yourself feel better and garner attention, which I think you really thrive on. Shame on you.

OP, following you since the night you first posted. I have posted my support throughout. It's been a trip. I hope you take a break for relationships, they're really not supposed to be that hard.

But maybe that's not the way to think about it. The free sites are for people who aren't looking for anything real or serious. Hold yourself and others to higher standards.
Or just don't date online. If you have an active social life, it's fine. But if you need a way to meet people, use a dating site that requires payment.
OP here: ehh..i wouldn't say I have an "active" social life. What sucked for me was that I was a nanny for 8+ years which doesn't allow you to meet many adult friends and now that I work from home, I don't have work friends like most people.
Yeah, and it will get increasingly hard to meet people. Try the sites that charge.
Also try to engage in some activities that will help you meet new people in person, maybe once a week at least.

Don't ever tell him about this not the other thread. Not only did you reveal him you also divulged personal medical information which is pretty bad.
I'm going to miss you random 7 and 8 digit numbers to indicate how many times you've had to say something, etc. I love you infinity times 74526348.

OP, thanks for taking us along and being such a good sport. All the best to you from your many fans.

Op. Prior to being married i was on match and okcupid. Many people your age are Esp owning your own business you are tnt going to meet a ton of people at work who aren't clients or in other areas. Don't think of it as paying for a date. Think of it as a way to be exposed to people who you might not otherwise meet

Agreed, sometimes you get what you pay for.

I seriously hope that you'll take all the support and encouragement that was offered here (and ignore the nasty bits) and use that to stiffen your spine w/ SV and any other jerks in your future.
Hold out for a guy who treats you decently and behaves normally. It's so worth it in the end and you need to believe you deserve it.
I don't really understand why you let us all go on this ride with you - it was so painful for you but so endlessly hilarious to us. Thank you for allowing us to see it through!
Jeff - I totally feel like I'm in some permanent club now - love the Woodstock analogy (where I'm from BTW) and the brand new website. You should totally use that for something!
To me she is Natalie, based on her fake Photobucket account.
