Don't Date Cliff Nelson in the Navy in WA!!!

[Ready4ARealMan]

I want to put a warning out there to any woman who might be so inclined to give the tall, handsome Cliff Nelson in WA state, originally from Dickinson, ND a try. He is quite the charmer, and will talk a fine line to you like no one's business. But please, bear in mind, that it is all talk. As soon as you want to spend more time with him then maybe once a week, he gets all freaked out and calls you crazy! With me, we started getting to know each other while he was in Iraq, and let me tell you, he really layed it on thick! He painted a picture of himself as the total dream, fantasy man, and when he was going to come back home, it was all going to be romance, lots of sweaty sex and sharing lots of activities out of the bedroom as well. He was going to be my dream relationship! Well, I saw him a total of 3 times, and his phone calls dropped dramatically once he got here. I had re-arranged my schedule so I could spend 2 days off with him right after he got home, and instead he high-tailed it up to Canada with his navy boys and didn't call me til he got back! And then I had to work 7 days in a row! For nothing! I was so excited about him, told friends and family about him, and even a few co-workers. Can you imagine my total embarrassment when this whole thing just fell through? I finally broke "it" off with him after not seeing him for 4-5 weeks and only hearing from him a couple of times a week in that time. Like a fool-hardy idiot that I am, I recently tried contacting him again, hoping to find the man I thought he was, and instead got a reply from the arrogant, selfish, ugly asshole he really is. I am sorry I ever met him, I wish I had never wasted any of my time on him, and I now know to never give a man who has majored in theater the time of day again. And, I will never date a military man again ,either.

As it stands, I am afraid to trust again. Granted, it will be easier to trust a man I actually meet face-to-face first, then start building something, rather than the other way around like I did with Cliff. But I am so gun-shy about the whole "dating" thing that I don't know what to do. All I can attract on a consistent basis is ick. And dont tell me to give ick a try. The ex-husband of my good friend is not worthy of my time. I am just so done with stupid boys who do nothing but waste my time. If I could only meet a real man who wants to build a real relationship and not get freaked out by my wanting to spend some time with him. I mean really, WTF?
