Spinster Yet Again

K broke up with me this evening. I am still in shock. How is it that one minute a guy is sending you roses for no reason and the next minute claims to not feel any spark?

Last weekend we were out with friends and K introduced me as his girlfriend. Yesterday (Saturday) he backed out of plans we had and today told me that he just didn't feel a spark.

I am so in shock and so hurt. I did not see this coming. Well, actually since Wednesday I've felt something was up because he just suddenly became uncommunicative. However, I just thought maybe I was being paranoid because no person changes his feelings about you so lickety split.

By now you would have thought I'd learned to trust my intuition. Unfortunately it's never been wrong about anything.

The thing that really bothers me is that I was the one who didn't feel a "spark" at first. How dare he use that line on me now after we've been pretty involved with each other for the past three months?

He hasn't had much dating experience, and it really shows. He handled this whole thing pretty immaturely--like a high school or college guy.

Maybe I need to go back to dating older men instead of guys my own age.

I just hate the fact that as soon as I finally allowed myself to open up to him, he hurt me. I'm sick and tired of that happening. I look around and see so many other people who have no trouble meeting someone they really click with. Why do I have such a difficult time?
