Re-entering the dating scene can be fun and exciting but it can also be tough, challenging, frustrating, and depressing. A recently divorced woman I know shared some of her dating experiences with me. Amongst her many stories was one recurring theme which I found particularly interesting. It seems there are a lot of men out there who think they’re David Copperfield, they like to just disappear. My friend has had it happen to her on several occasions. It happened after dating a guy just a few times, after many times, and it happened after being in a relationship for six months. In each situation, everything seemed to be going great. With the six-monther, he had even professed his love for her but suddenly the guy was gone, never to be heard from again. I know what you’re thinking, it’s her; she’s misreading things, she’s probably getting too needy or demanding. That’s what I thought, too. But I’ve spoken to many other women and it’s happened repeatedly to them as well. One woman told me she’d been involved with a man for 14 months and he pulled a David Copperfield!! What’s going on? Do men get more selfish as they get older? Ruder? More cowardly? I vote for cowardly—-what do you think?
