About three weeks ago a guy came into my work-unknown to me he was here to ask me out (one of his friends works with me so I thought he came in to see him) unfortunatly I had to go to a meeting so I only talked to him briefly and he did not ask me out during that time. So his friend came and asked if I would go out with this guy and that is when I found out the real reason he was here. I said sure-three weeks later-I have not seen or heard from this guy..... his friend doesn't know what has happened either. He thinks he may have gotten back with an old girlfriend but is not sure. I can tell you that I have been replaced my whole life with other women whether it be a boyfriend or my ex husband-Why would somebody jerk you around like this after they know you have been through a really rough time? I did not dwell on the events with my ex just told him that he left but he even said then that the ordeal must have been really hard and I said yes but I am making it-I don't think I will say yes to a date again for aloooooooonnnnngggg time. Any comforting thoughts????

First of all, from your post, it isn't really clear whether you had a date or not.<p>But at any rate, you know, guys do dumb things for all kinds of reasons, but mostly for no reason at all.<p>One thing that strikes me as odd is that he had someone else ask you out for him. Perhaps he's shy, or worse, he has no self-confidence. You don't want that.<p>One friend of mine was seeing a woman for a brief period - less than a couple weeks. And one day he told her he would call her and forgot to the next day. Then he felt weird about it and so didn't call the next day after that. And so on and so on. Even he doesn't know why he never called her. And there was no "replacement" either. He just felt weird calling up after such a long time.<p>Is she wondering the same things you are? Not my business, but I suppose she could be.<p>So you never know what the situation is. Don't assume you were purposefully replaced by anyone. You just never know.<p>Good luck, and stay positive!<p>My only other advice is that you try to avoid talking about your ex for the first few dates, especially if you're unable to say anything kind. (you know the old wisdom about that)
