How to Declutter after a Heartbreak

Read some coping strategies that may help you after a breakup.

Change Your Environment To Help You Move Forward After A Breakup


Moving on after a heartbreak is difficult when you’re still surrounded by everything that reminds you of shared memories with a former lover. It can be especially hard if you’ve lived with them for a long time. You may find yourself unable to continue with your life after the heartbreak. In this case, changing your environment may be the solution you need to get back on your feet.



Removing the physical ties that still connect you to your past is a good first step to moving on. If you can afford to do so, go on and start planning a redecorating project. But something simple like getting rid of tangible remnants of a past love can substantially help you take that first crucial step to healing.


Hide Them


If you have just broken up, purging the things they owned or once shared with you may not be very easy to do. You may be tempted to keep some of them, and that is totally acceptable if you are not willing to do just yet.


But you can let go gradually by keeping them in boxes and storing them out of sight. This way, you don’t have to mistakenly throw some memorabilia that you may want to keep once you are ready.


Clean Up, Clean Out


You don’t have to pressure yourself to throw out something you know you already should. You may decide to hide it for a time. But ultimately getting rid of these items will be most helpful in your way to moving on.


If you find yourself needing to get rid of a bunch of stuff that are still useful, you can donate them or put them on sale. You can always hold a garage sale where you can include a bunch of your other stuff, or you can sell them online.


Selling them online would be a smart move especially if you’re holding a prized collectible or item.


Give Them a New Look!


Throwing out a bed or a couch is mighty expensive. It’s understandable that, even if you’d want to do so, you may not be able to for the meantime. In this case, it would be more practical to look for more creative ways to dress up the space around it, move it around, or just give it a new look!

For example, you can choose to buy new beddings or sofa covers. You can try putting up tapestries behind the couch or buying a new set of extra punchy pillows.



To freshen up the mood, you can always add a new layer of paint or hang a funny artwork! It all depends on your creativity. Go bold, and have fun reclaiming your space.


Formally Say Goodbye


Not necessarily to them. But you can hold a small personal goodbye ritual for yourself. Saying goodbye is a way of acknowledging that the relationship has ended, that you did what you could, and that it is time to move forward with your life.

There’s no one way to say goodbye. Some consider purging out shared objects as ritual enough. Others burn pictures. Some may not even see a point in it at all. But many others find their own rituals helpful, and if you have not tried it before, this may work for you as well.

Self-Love



It’s easy to lose yourself after a breakup. The ending may have made you feel inadequate and unwanted. This can cause a spiral of negative feelings toward yourself. However, there’s no better time for self-love than when you’re feeling down.


So make a point to go to the spa, get your hair done, relax and unwind for a day, or go on a trip out of town. Spending time with yourself to process what has recently transpired in your life can help you internalize the lessons learned from these events and accept it for what it is.

How To Be Bald And Confident

 
How to be Bald and Confident By Frank Kermit



Old photos show your great grandfather was bald. Your grandfather was bald. Your great uncles were bald. Today your uncles are balding, your father is balding, and your older brother has a receding hairline. You still have a full head of hair, but for how long? You know that your genetics are working against you when it comes to your hair.  Baldness is coming.

Right now you would rather focus on just trying to get Suzie, the woman you are attracted to, to agree to meet you for a coffee date. 

Like many people, you unconsciously run your fingers through your hair, especially when you are feeling stressed. You do this now, and wonder if once you start losing your hair, will it be even harder to get women like Suzie to want to date you?

What if your hair loss starts at the top of your head? You know that Vertex hair loss is the most common. You cringe thinking about styling your hair in the “comb over” like your uncles.

You are concerned about male pattern baldness genetics given your family history with hair loss, and rightly so.

However, before we get into that discussion, let me tell you a little story about a guy named "Monty" and his sudden hair loss.




Monty's Hair Loss Story  


Monty is a man who was a rebel in his youth; some called him a bum because of his style of dress with his 80s rocker hair and the fact that at 18 he devoted so much time to fixing his beloved car.  

When it came to women, Monty was a ladies man. 
He was the quintessential “bad boy”.
Women loved him!
They also loved to hate him, torn between love and hate for the irresistible tramp he was.

For years, Monty was an adventurous playboy who never any problem finding new women to bring into his life,

until one day when

Monty started losing entire clumps of his hair.



The neighbours who loved to gossip started talking about him even more:

 "It’s because of those drugs he did as a teenager!”
exclaimed one neighbour, and so the rumours began to circulate the neighbourhood.

"Maybe he is having cancer treatments? It must be!"
said another neighbour.

"I have a cousin who said she found out his fiancé was cheating on him! He must be traumatized so his hair is falling out.“
said another neighbour.

"I bet he is pulling it out himself.
He always liked getting attention. It’s not natural",
decided yet another neighbour.


Concerned about what was happening to him,
Monty sought out medical help. 
Doctors initially thought it might be Alopecia Areata (AA),
where the hair loss is in patches on the scalp.
Monty continued to lose hair so the doctors then decided he had Alopecia Totalis (AT), which is total hair loss on the scalp,
and only the scalp.
While struggling to accept this diagnosis,
Monty also started to lose hair everywhere.

It’s called Alopecia Universalis (AU).

His hair began to fall out not just on his scalp,
but over his entire body as well.  

Within less than 1 year, all of Monty’s hair was gone. His facial hair, his eyebrows and eyelashes, his armpit hair and his “manly” chest hair and all the other hair on his body fell out.

Monty looked into hair loss treatments.
He researched male pattern baldness,
and tried to find out if it was possibly due to genetics?  

He experimented with every hair loss remedy
that he came across.

5 Mistakes That Men Make That Contribute To Hair Loss
**Visual supplied by forhims.com, a men's wellness company 



He was looking for a hair loss cure. He subscribed to every hair loss news feed he could find. Finally, he discovered a method that seemed to have limited results. Monty found that cortisone injections taken regularly (that were somewhat expensive) would allow him to experience patches of hair that slowly grew back, but as soon as he stopped the injections, so would the hair growth. 

In his research Monty found that in some cases of Alopecia the person's hair could grow back. Unfortunately for him the odds were against him.  Hair regrowth could happen in 8-10% of the cases where there is only a small area involved.

However, the more extensive the hair loss, the less likely it is to ever grow back. With limited success in further hair loss prevention, Monty decided to discontinue any further treatments, and accept the consequences of his diagnosis.

Before he lost his hair Monty was a very confident man who attracted women easily and had a wild sex life.

Since he was already an Alpha male, his hair loss wouldn't affect his confidence, would it?





Well, actually, it did.


One of the things that made Monty feel so confident with women is that he was always able to feel masculine with them. He was cocky, he knew how to have a good time and he had a full head of rocker hair! 

When Monty lost his hair, he was shocked.

He always associated his masculinity
with his rocker hair and wild bad boy image
.

When he looked in the mirror, he didn’t see the man he used to know. He was worried that women would reject him because he no longer had the hair he used to have. 



what men want
What Men Want And Don't Know It
In my book “Mastering The Emotional Needs of Men: Ally vs. Enemy” I teach that one of the Emotional Needs of men is Masculine Identity. 

This is how each individual man defines his own masculinity.


An Emotional Need is what a person emotionally responds to, NOT what they think.

This means that while a man might intellectually understand that he is more than just his hair, his emotional reaction can cause him to withdraw or lose his sense of confidence from hair loss.


For many men, having hair is part of their Masculine Identity Emotional Need. 


When Monty had hair he never cared what people thought about him. He was confident, arrogant, willing to make the first move, and loved to pursue women. He was envied by men, and sought after by women. He was sure of his Masculine Identity.


After his hair loss, Monty felt like he didn’t know himself anymore. 


He became afraid, as he was convinced that people were looking at him, talking about him, and laughing at him. He could hardly bring himself to leave his home because of his fears. He felt that he had lost his Masculine Identity with the loss of his hair.




Now let’s go back to your story.  How does this relate to YOU? You are attracted to Suzie and would like her to go out on a coffee date with you, but fear your genetic predisposition to male pattern baldness or total hair loss will keep you out of the running.


THE TRUTH IS THIS:

It was not Monty's hair loss that caused him to lack confidence, just like it is not about your receding hairline that is stopping you from asking Suzie out.

It does not matter that Monty had a reputation for being a “ladies man” and the experience to back it up.

It does not matter what you have going for you.

If you have a hard time accepting yourself, it will be even harder for you to put yourself out there and risk rejection, when you express your interest in someone who might not want you back.




Women Who Reject Balding Men

Are there women who find balding men less attractive?

Yes.  

There are also women who say that bald men are sexy.

There are studies that show that some women prefer balding men, and other studies that show that women love a man with a full head of hair. Many of these studies are tied into selling products, so buyers beware.


No matter what the issue is: whether it is baldness, height, weight, finances, etc. there will be women who love it, women who are not bothered either way as long as their other criteria are met (sense of humour, honesty etc.), and there are women who will hate it to the point where no matter what else you have going for you, it will never be enough to compensate for what you are “lacking” in their eyes.




charming man traits
Learn Social Cues so Hair Loss Will Never Stop You

In my program, “The Art of Calibration Program: From Creepy To Charisma”


I discuss this concept and assign a percentage to make it easier to understand.

So now to explain further, we will examine the topic of hair loss in men and apply randomly chosen percentages of 15%, 70% and 15%.




alopecia dating siteThe Emotional Needs of Men and Women Audio Set

For the 15% of women out there who love bald or balding men:

There is nothing for you to worry about. These women are ready to love you for the way you look right now. Be enthusiastic to meet them, and when you do focus on addressing her Emotional Needs.


At the same time, you will be challenging her to address your Emotional Needs as a man.

The women that already were attracted to Monty loved him for being Monty (not because of his hair) and would have continued to want him if Monty had only continued to purse them.

Just like if Suzie already likes you, then all you have to do is make your move and ask her out.





For the 70% of women who are neutral about bald or balding men:

This is the group that you can influence the most.

They will look to you to set the example of how you want to be treated.

If you fully accept yourself and you ACT like your hair condition (whatever it may be) is not an issue for you, they will follow your example, and not make it an issue for them.

If however you do not fully accept yourself, and act like your hair loss is a big issue, they will also react to you as if it were a big issue.

Monty would have lost this group and it would not have been because they cared about his hair. Monty let his hair loss affect him so much, it was to the the point that he was no longer open to female attention, and the women picked up on that message.

That is why he would have lost this group.


Just like YOU who are too preoccupied with your thinning hairline!

Suzie is going to sense that you are not really present with her, and she is going to feel (your lack of being present) enough not to go on a date with you, if you ask her.

Dating a Younger Woman

For the 15% of women who already dislike bald or balding men:

Your best bet with this group is to cut your losses and move on.

The person Monty was before his hair loss never cared what this group of women thought because he was too focused on having fun with the 85% (15% plus 75%) of women out there (the majority) that either already liked him, or that he could influence into liking him for a date!

He didn’t care about the women that would never accept him, until he reached a crisis moment in his life where HE stopped accepting himself.


If Suzie (or any other woman) really hates bald or balding men balding, then it is best to find out as soon as possible. Move on to someone who either loves it, or is neutral about it.

Never is the real issue hair loss, or going bald, or considering yourself to be the newest member of the follically challenged community.

The issue is NOT your hair loss.

The issue is how you deal with it that matters.






Dealing With Going Bald


The Franktalks.com coaching philosophy is this:
IF THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF
THAT YOU DO NOT LIKE


YOU MUST OWN IT


To OWN it, means to either:

A) Accept it as part of who you are. If it is not going to change, work around it as best you can and do what you want to do with as little compromise as possible

or

B) Do something directly about it to change it.







A) Accepting Hair Loss 

Accepting hair loss comes in different forms:

For some men accepting hair loss means learning to be okay with it, accepting the fact that some women will have a problem with it, and being okay with that.

For some men, accepting hair loss means they shave their heads and feel they are taking an assertive step towards the situation, rather than let the hair loss and possibly eventual balding happen on it's own.

For some men, accepting hair loss means never letting it stop them from doing the things they would have done if they had the hair.

Hair loss is an opportunity to self-actualize (self reflection) of what going bald means to you.


If hair loss or going bald means that you see yourself as no longer young, virile, or adept at attracting women, it will influence the way you feel about yourself, likely in a negative way.


The way you feel about yourself is a key element in the world of attracting a partner.


If hair loss or going bald holds a different meaning for you such as:

*The privilege of growing older (When you appreciate your age as you begin to attend funerals of those close to your age)

*A sign of wisdom that comes with maturity

*You just don’t have to care anymore what other people think about anything you do.

It will influence the way you feel about yourself, most likely in a very positive way.

The way you feel about yourself is a key element in the world of attracting a partner.




Acceptance:

Being okay with something by not letting it turn into a problem that hinders you from doing the things you want to do with your life.

By accepting you find a way to get your needs met, even if you cannot have everything you want. 

It has nothing to do with giving up.




B) Making Some Changes

If you have accepted that this is your situation, and instead of working around it, you want to try to change your situation, the next step is to look at the options available to you.

This requires research and some experimenting to find what works for you. Just as not every person can follow the same diet plan, not every person will want to follow the same hair loss solution.

There are many causes of hair loss, and one possible cause is stress.  If you feel that your hair loss is from stress, it may be time to re-evaluate your lifestyle and seek ways to make it less stressful.

This might mean some sacrifices that you did not anticipate making.


For example: It might mean a change of employment for you to something less stressful, but that also might mean a drastic pay cut. Looking at hair loss causes is just one step in the process. This is one possible solution if you are suffering hair loss from stress.


Next, have a look at other solutions that may work for you. Some men opt to wear a wig, an artificial hair piece (toupee), or other methods.

When it comes right down to it, the opinions of others do not matter (including the opinion of this author). What matters is that YOU are comfortable with the solution you seek, and you are comfortable with the risks of being exposed if you keep some of these methods a secret.


Currently there is no cure for baldness (at least none that I know of, and if someone reading this article has knowledge of such, please leave a comment to share that knowledge with men who may want it.)

Knowledge Is Power

Do NOT be in denial of what is happening to you.

Denial instead of acceptance tends to lead to poor choices. Denial of any issue that is affecting a man's emotional well being will cause him to make questionable decisions in many areas of his life, including what to do about hair loss.


An example:

A man works a job in an area of industry that is declining. He is in denial about the longevity of his employment. He decides to increase his expenses and in turn acquires debt. Contrast this with another man who also works a job in an area of industry that is declining, but who has accepted the truth of his situation. He wisely curbs his spending while seeking out knowledge on alternative sources of income. 


Your inability to cope with your hair loss will result in your eventual violation of a woman’s Emotional Needs.

Why?  

The longer you date the same woman, the more she will get to know the real you. At that point, the truth will be harder to deny.

The truth about your hair loss is sure to come up and she will be concerned that you kept the truth from her. This may make her wonder what else you are not telling her.

The issue is trust not hair loss.

How To Make Balding Look Good



If you are in the position where you are in the process of balding, whether you have vertex baldness, a receding hairline, or you are anticipating hair loss and want to take proactive self-care steps,

there is nothing wrong with seeking out some advice on the subject.

Hair loss and confidence are tied together for many men who see it as part of their Masculine Identity emotional need.  




True confidence develops as a result of the actions you take.
If your appearance is what you are worried about
(and you consider your hair to be part of your appearance)
then take action! 

Put work into your overall appearance.
Look your best and carry yourself in a way
that displays your pride.

There have been studies done on men’s online dating profile photos. The studies found that the photos of men, which received the MOST likes, were the photos in which the men expressed PRIDE in their faces.

The facial expression of feeling proud was interpreted as CONFIDENCE.

change your life in 90 days

For over 15 years I have coached men about dating and relationships. In that time the message that I have received over and over again is that men really do not feel they should ask for help.

It is part of many male cultures to be an independent achiever. What we as men must remember is that even the most accomplished men have a team of coaches, mentors and advisers.





Clients who have taken action and asked for help have achieved great success in their lives.

In 90 days Adult Male Virgins who were never able to admit they even had problems with sex and dating, found themselves with multiple girlfriends!

They found confidence through their actions. They developed pride in their appearance (and yes many of these men did have hair loss concerns).

If YOU are embarrassed about your thinning hair, don’t be.

Take action! Ignoring what is happening to your hair, and being in denial does not help you in the long term.

The worse thing you can do is try to hide your concerns,
and end up trying untested methods
which could harm your remaining hair,
and possibly your health.


Accept your hair loss situation.

Own it.

Love yourself regardless of it. 

Be PROUD of your appearance as it is,
and know that you can do something about it
if you want to change it.

Seek out some those who can help you
to keep your confidence up.





Remember Monty? 

It took a little longer than expected, but with the proper coaching and guidance Monty was willing to go out in public again.

Eventually he remembered everything that he still had going for him before he lost all of his hair.  Monty took action and found the pride in himself that he had lost.


He even went back to his playboy lifestyle for a time until he met a woman he really adored. The married and today they have a family together.

Monty now plans to teach his son everything he learned.



Now back to YOU.

Do you want to take action?

Find your PRIDE and CONFIDENCE.

Work on what is holding you back
and find the confidence to ask out your "Suzie"

36 reasons you got ghosted after a great first date
36 Reasons Someone Ghosts You After a Great First Date

by Frank Kermit



You go out on a first date that goes incredibly well. There is great music, a proper mood, great talks, laughter, and physical contact including passionate kissing, and you maybe even had sex!

Things are going so well that based on the way you are connecting, you both make plans for a second date. Then the next day, the person contacts you and says that they are not interested anymore and did not feel any chemistry. Why would anyone go through the motions of an entire first date as if they are interested only to say in an impersonal communication the next day they did not feel any chemistry?

Actually, it could be a number of reasons. It really depends on the overall context. As a coach for dating and relationships, I have come across more than my fair share of reasons why people disappear (Ghost) after a great first date.

Here are some possibilities and reasons that come directly from my experience as a coach, working with people who have dumped someone after a
great first date.:


conversations book cover
What to Say - Book Cover

When It is Because of You
(You did something that turned them off)

Each person has emotional needs. If you did not satisfy the emotional needs of the person you dated they will have no motivation to date you again. Maybe you seriously violated the person’s emotional needs. If you did not violate an emotional need, it is also possible that you simply did not address them and were neutral.  When someone tells you “no chemistry” it is possible you killed the chemistry yourself.



1. Something you said/did on the date turned the other person right off. The person could not react in the moment, (for example: During the date you made insulting jokes about a particular group of people and the person is related to someone of that group) so instead of acting in the moment and revealing private personal information, the person chose to act as if everything was OK to protect their privacy for the rest of the night to be safe.


2. You’re just a little too boring. The person sensed that you generally have a good heart, but they simply are not into you as much as you are into them. The person liked you a lot, but not as much as you liked them, so they decided it was best to cut you loose before you get more attached and got really hurt. The person might be trying to be ethical after all, but has chosen a less than great way to do it.

3. You love too much drama.  The person is more sedate and seeks a calmer companion, but everything about you screams drama-drama-drama, from the things you like to talk about, to how you handle common situations that came up on your date.  Maybe you acted too immature, like a child. The emotional range that comes with high doses of drama can in fact be a lot of fun in the short term, but can be very draining for others in the long term. After that first date was over the other person decided that you were too much for them.

4. You did not stand up for yourself. I hear this one quite a bit. Sometimes your date will test you to see if you would stand up for yourself, and when you didn’t, it was a turn off. Some people just do not want to date a mousy person. They seek out someone that isn’t afraid to be assertive, and are willing to speak their minds.  Ever had that gnawing feeling that you should have said something at some point on the date, but held back because you were trying to be too nice and too polite?  That might have been the moment you failed a test for assertiveness.






5. You came across like you were going to dump them. You gave the impression that you were not serious about seeing the other person again, so the other person decided to dump you first, before you had the chance to abandon them.  Did you make the person feel they were unique to you? Did you give the impression you were the type of person that could commit long term? If you did not do these two things, the other person has no evidence to take you seriously when you say you intend to see them again. Very few people are going to stick around for a second date with a person that comes across as wanting to be independent of them.

6. You came across as untrustworthy. If the person you dated felt you could not be honest with them out of a fear of conflict, or if you came across as someone that could not be honest with yourself, they simply will not be able to put faith into anything you say or do.  Trust is a key factor for any relationship.  Violating a person’s sense of trust will not get you a second date, even if they decided to have fun with you on the first date.

7. You don’t make people feel safe with you. Maybe the person looked you up on the Internet after the first date and the searches revealed lots of information about you from your professional work profiles, and your social media. With the mystery gone, (and perhaps finding out things about you and your worst moments and traits), it was a no-go from there. Maybe you are friends with someone that is an ex lover of theirs, or they do not like the social circles you keep. Maybe they just did not feel safe with you, either physically or they worry associating with you will hurt their reputation. Perhaps you publicly shared too many things that your date would rather keep private and they worried you are not a good secret keeper. The bottom line is that even after a great first date, if a person does not feel safe enough with you, there will be no second date.

8. You’re a lousy kisser and/or lover. I am sorry to say this, but just because you really enjoyed yourself on that first date, it is not a direct indication that your date enjoyed it too.  Even if your date had an orgasm, it may have less to do with your efforts than you might care to admit. This is not about just being sexually incompatible (see further down the list when that comes up). This is about you just not being any good.  Sexual skills are just like any other skills. You can develop a better skill set, if you are willing to learn, experiment, and are open to feedback.  However, unless you make it clear that you want feedback to help your date enjoy being with you, your date might assume that you are just going to be this lousy on an ongoing basis, and rather than tell you the truth, they would rather just avoid having to be physical with you again.





9. You come across too happy being single. You are not relationship minded enough.  You said that you wanted to see the other person again and you really meant it, and the person believes you meant it as well. However, the question becomes are you capable?  Not everyone knows how to act in a relationship.  This comes up a lot for people that have either never had a relationship, or people that have been single for so long that they have forgotten the nuances of how to take another person’s involvement into account. A person who acts too happy being single, might give the impression they would rather not be in a relationship.  If you expressed how much you rather enjoy doing things on your own that the other person would rather do as a couple, you aren’t going to convince anyone that you are seriously interested in a second date.

10. You would rather be with a different gender/sexual orientation. Believe it or not, just because you are willing to date someone of a certain gender/sexual orientation, it is not enough evidence you actually want to be dating a person of that gender/sexual orientation.  Sometimes the frustration that you feel towards the dating scene and specifically the gender/sexual orientation of your past dates, might come across that you would rather date someone that is the opposite of the gender/sexual orientation of the person you are currently dating.  If you are giving a vibe that you may not be fully comfortable in your own skin, or if your frustrations get misinterpreted as hate, or lack of attraction for the gender/sexual orientation of the person you are currently dating, it is unlikely that they will want to have a second date with you, even with the first date ending OK.

11. You are missing something they want. Some people do not want to bother with a second date if they do not see a definite future with you. If the other person is looking for someone to back them up for the long term, they will be looking for things like: stability, if you can support their lifestyle, and their social environment. Can you hang with their social groups, and at least equal or better their own current status. If they already have elements of a life plan in place and they do not see you fitting into their plans, a great first date, might also be the last date if they cannot envision a future with you being part of their life plan.

12. You are too needy.  Perhaps things were going really well until you went a little too far and gave the impression that you were just too needy. This means that the other person did not feel that you wanted them because of the commitment they had earned from you; they felt you were so desperate for any companionship that you wanted a second date because it is better than being alone. Sometimes a needy person comes across as way too compliant; lacking any personal boundaries who might one day lash back because they do not feel they are getting the same level back from the other person that they are putting in. The scariest thing about getting attached to a needy person is that a needy person can go to one extreme and get obsessive, or go to the other extreme where since they no longer feel needy for you, they can dump you unceremoniously. Why chance any of that with a second date?








When it is The Other Person
(You did nothing wrong)

In the next cluster of reasons we are going to look at reasons you were Ghosted that actually have nothing to do with you, but have everything to do with the other person.  In this section, it is clear that you did not do anything wrong, or incorrectly.  It is just a matter that the other person was the direct cause of you not getting a second date, and possibly involved in a situation that you may not have been aware of. So when someone tells you “no chemistry”, maybe there wasn’t any, or maybe there was, but it wasn’t enough.






13. The person was using you to pay for the meal and lavish date, or using you to get into a venue that you have access too. Once the person got what they wanted in exchange for a little compensation touching, they moved on to the next target.  You never actually had a chance for a second date, because dating you again was never the goal. The goal was to use you for the experience of a date.

14. The person is running scared. The person did not expect to like you so much and wasn’t ready for the potential connection that seemed to be developing, so they ran away from you using any excuse they could think of. (Run Forest Run!) Some people really have a fear of intimacy and you came across too good to be true. For example: Your date was a virgin (or very inexperienced) and did not know how to process intense emotions that comes after having a great first date. That person does not want to feel pressured into going on a second date, as they were not ready to experience the next level of intimacy that a second date may represent. (This is assuming that you did not have sex on that great first date.) The pressure that a virgin feels to perform sexually on subsequent dates can be more than enough to cancel any possibility of dating you in order to avoid that pressure. At the same time, they do not have to be in a position to admit to being an adult aged virgin (which can be stigmatizing for some).

15. The person is trying hard to date someone (i.e. you) who is not their type BUT isn't willing to push through the next level of a second date. You weren’t the type they were normally attracted to and they were looking to be open-minded on a first date, but could not fake it enough to make a second date happen. Sometimes people date as part of an experiment to try putting themselves out there in new situations to learn about who they are (self-actualization). This could involve dating someone they weren’t really attracted too in the first place.  Usually, this kind of self-actualization process requires the person to give people like you an honest chance with a series of dates before calling it quits, but not everyone has that level of resolve.

16. The person lied on the first date about something, and is worried they will get found out.  You got dumped before you even have the chance to dump them later on when you would have found out the truth. People who lie on a first date are not usually expecting to have a second date, or subsequent dates. It can happen that they realize they really like you, but they know that they have already ruined their long-term chances by lying early on. In most cases the person in question might be self-sabotaging with this kind of behavior pattern as part of a fear of intimacy, which helps keep them out of any potential serious relationships. A person that lies so much might have incredibly low self-esteem and figures that you will eventually end it when you get to know them, so they dump you first even though they actually want to date you. They feel it is better to dump you now instead of you abandoning them later, and justifying their low self-esteem.   







17. The person was a professional (sugar baby/sex worker) looking for you to pay money for companionship on an ongoing basis.  They discovered through the process of the date that you were either not wealthy enough or not willing to accept such an arrangement. Rather than try to change your mind or reveal their true intentions, they would rather focus on recruiting an easier client and cancelled any second date you tried to set up. This gave them the ease of not having to reveal their true intentions if they wanted to keep their economic interests a private matter.

18. The person was running a bet or taking part in a contest with some friends. Maybe it was who could they get to date them? Maybe it was how many first dates could they get, or how far they could get someone attached to them who wanted a second date? This one is cruel, but it does happen. You might have been a target for someone else’s participation in a contest or bet that had nothing to do with you. One such scam I came across in my coaching practice involved getting the “targets” into heated text messages after being dumped and insulted.  The texts would then be posted online as a means of ridicule. Very cruel indeed! If something like that ever happens to you, as much as you are being baited to write back hatefully, try as much as possible to walk away. The person you think you are cursing out might not even be the one writing to you.

19. The person wants to play a mind-game with you to see if you will chase them. Some people are legitimately interested in you, but the way they react to any attachment/attraction is to push that person away really hard to see if they are going to “prove” themself and chase them. Some people will have no interest in you at all, but they love the attention you may shower on them by pushing you away, and having you come back to chase them again. Some of these people could be suffering from a mental illness of some kind, while others are just malicious. Either way, if someone pushes you away that much, accept it and move on.

20. The person was a people pleaser. Fear of conflict makes some people act completely agreeable during the first date to the point of misleading you to think you actually stand a chance at a second date. They hide behind a polite façade to the point of aggressively going along in the moment with anything someone presents them with, to the point where they react with a backlash the next day with a rejection. It might be a good thing that you did not end up dating that person more than you did!





21. The person was cheating on an existing partner (or attempting to cheat) They decided against it and ended it before things got out of hand. In this vain of thought, if the person was actually trying to cheat and got caught (or almost caught), it would make sense to end it quickly before you sent a series of text messages that the cheaters partner may come across. When someone tells you “no-chemistry” most people will back off at that point, which is what the cheater counts on.

22-The person has a sexually transmitted infection (STI).  I have come across difference cases of this as a coach. Some people with an STI desire socializing, even limited physical touching, but cannot risk giving into the impulse to have sex, so the person cancels any potential future dates where sex could happen. Instead of wondering why someone broke your heart, you might actually consider being grateful that someone may have just spared your health without you knowing it. It is easier for an infected person to dump someone than to expose their health status to a relative stranger.  In other cases, a person with an STI rather than deal with being in a relationship may go out for anonymous sex without ever telling their lovers of their condition unless directly asked about it.  It is easier to simply disappear after a first date sexual encounter, than to go on subsequent dates where the person would have to reveal their status of their STI, which they would rather keep private.

23. The person is just not ready for something serious. It is very possible that the person really liked you and really thought about getting more serious with you, but then decided that you were too a good a distraction and did not want to be tempted. Some people need to be hyper focused on things like getting an education, establishing a career, or even raising kids, and are just looking to causally date and have fun.  However, they met you, and really liked you and even considered allowing themselves to break their own rules, which explains why the first date was so great. However, realizing that you really are the right person, but at the wrong time in their lives, it can be easier for some people to let you go completely instead of continuing to see you and be tempted with a strong distraction from their previous set goal plan. Others may or may not agree with this decision, but the issue is not whether it is agreeable; the matter is what it is.

24. The person is Immature. Very sad to say that at some point, it really can come down to a simple matter of a lack of maturity.  The inability to know what they want, getting swept away in the moment of the first date, then making the snap decision to recant and disassociate without the benefit of a more personalized goodbye. It has nothing to do with you, and everything to do with the person being too immature to take any accountability or responsibility for their own actions, or for leading you on.
 






When it is Neither of You

Lastly, in this next section are situations where it is not you, or the other person that is at the source of you not getting a second date, but some real possible situations that people find themselves in, or issues of compatibility that has nothing to do with how a person feels. Rather than discuss the real reasons, it is easier for people that do not know each other beyond a great first date, to simply cite “no chemistry”, so that they can end this particular stage with you, because it is just easier that way when life happens.





25. The person was hit with a crisis situation that required all of their focus and attention, and simply was not in a position to even entertain getting into a relationship much less date. A personal medical diagnosis, sickness of a family member, the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, and any other major sense of loss that a person would have to cope with. Tragedy can kill any feeling of chemistry that may have actually existed, and the person would rather set you free than to be honest and risk you wasting your time waiting for them. Tragedy changes people, and the person they become might not be a good dating partner for you in the future anyways.

26. The person could have been triggered by a past trauma and just cannot date you. It has nothing to do with you personally. It could be that you remind the person of someone that hurt them; or it could be the feeling of connection and chemistry that triggered them; and they associate good feelings with a core hurt. It is easier to dump you than to deal with past trauma.

27. The person was struggling and/or questioning their sexual orientation.  They decided to try to date someone like you to see what it would be like, to either prove, confirm, or disprove something. Sometimes you are just someone else’s experiment while questioning.

28. The person really liked you and intended to date you again, but felt their friends and or family would not approve of you so they dumped you. Family and friends can be very important factors in deciding whom a person continues to date. It is interesting to note that seeking the validation of friends and family approval is why some people will continue to end up perpetually single.



29. The person was seeing multiple people at the same time, and someone made the move before you did to earn a monogamous commitment. For this reason the person had to dump all the other people they were dating.  I have witnessed how dating another person can motivate an admirer to pursue someone.  It is a common enough occurrence that as soon as someone starts going on dates, others who worshipped from afar, or who were dating casually until now, suddenly feel compelled to make a move and secure the affections of their would-be lover. Sometimes people can date you just to make someone else jealous for exactly this reason.

30. The ex of the other person came back into the picture between your first and second date. It is easier to tell you that they felt no chemistry, instead of telling you the truth. With that said, if the communication is happening right in front of the newly returned partner/formerly ex, it would make sense for the person to completely downplay any chemistry that might have actually existed. There is nothing quite like seeing the person you like dating others to light a fire of motivation to aggressively pursue (whether out of jealousy, or a legitimate belief that they should be together). 

31. Off Limits. After a great first date, the person comes to identify you as an “Off-Limits” person.  This means that they came to realize that you were someone they never should have had a first date with, or they already had such a hesitation, gave into temptation, but afterwards came to their senses not to pursue you any further. Perhaps you are a co-worker and they do not want to complicate anything by putting their careers in jeopardy if things go really bad. Perhaps they realize that they were romantically involved in the past with one of your friends or a family member (or vice-versa), and would rather follow a rule of non-fraternization. Putting someone in the “Off Limits” category is about avoiding dating someone who, for reasons that have nothing to do how you feel about the person, could complicate other areas of their life.

32. Different stages in life. After a great first date the person goes home and recognizes that you are both at very different stages in life. For example: One of you wants the lifestyle that comes with retirement, while the other to seeks a lifestyle that is just starting out with a family or new career.  A great first date can reveal the awesome potential you may have as a couple, but if your lifestyles are incompatible because of the different stages you may be at, those incompatibilities may be more than enough to end things before a second date ever gets started.






33. It’s about the kids. This reason lumps together all the cases having to do with having kids. Perhaps it is that one of you wants kids, and it comes up during the date that the other does not want, or cannot have kids. Perhaps is it a matter of one person never wanting to be a parent or step-parent, only to find out the other is a single parent already. It could be that one person is not interested in helping raise younger children, and the other person has younger children.  It can be politically incorrect for anyone to claim they are skipping a second date, after a great first date, because of the issues surrounding having children. There is no fault, blame or judgments here. Just people that went on a date who are not compatible for a long-term involvement because the issues surrounding having kids will eventually end the involvement regardless of what a great start it had.

34. Incompatible pasts.  Each day of our lives we all make choices, and with each choice we make there are consequences. We do not control what those consequences might be. Whether it is a series of choices that leads to having a criminal record, choices affecting your health today, choices about the education you opted for, or the job environments you had to work in, or choices in the people you have dated in the past, each of us has a past built on the choices we made, both good choices or bad choices.  Not everyone you date will be able to handle or accept your past, just as you will not be able to handle the past of everyone you ever date.  There is a difference between being non-judgmental about someone’s past, and getting romantically involved with someone with a past that you would not want to be associated with.  When getting more serious beyond a first date, it is important that you are with someone that can fully accept your past. If someone does not accept your past, or you cannot accept theirs, then it is best to end it.  Again, no fault, blame, or judgments here. Just people that went on a date but are not compatible for a long-term involvement.

35. Sexually incompatible. This is different from a person just being lousy at sex.  The issue here is that you were not compatible. For example:  If the other person was just looking for a one-night stand and you did not make the first move or give them a sign, it is not just an issue of not having sex, but an issue of having different sexual values. Perhaps there is nothing wrong with your love-making skills, but you just aren’t used to going at the pace as your lover, it does not mean you aren’t good, it just means that you are not seeking the same kind of touch. Some people like a really gentle touch, while others like it more rough. There is nothing wrong with either. Even if you had sex on the first date but the sex was not what the other person is used too, or hoped for, and there was no sign or discussion that you have similar sexual values as the other person, then a lack of sexual compatibility can be classified as a lack of sexual chemistry.

36. There actually is no chemistry.  The date came across as just two good friends hanging out but nothing more. It is good to get along with your date, but if all you do is act like good buddies, it may not be enough to help generate attraction.  And yes, even if you had sex on a first date, friends can experience casual sex together and enjoy their time together, but still lack the chemistry necessary to take it to the next level.  So when someone tells you that they did not feel any chemistry, it is possible they are lying for any number of the reasons listed above, or maybe they are being rather truthful, in that they just did not feel what they needed to feel to see you as anything more than a friend (that they were willing to try having sex with).




Conclusion

Chances are, that in reading these stories from my years of coaching, you might see yourself in one of them, or even come up with a few more possible reasons on your own.

Regardless of the reason, you might just be better off without a person that would Ghost you to begin with.

You are not in control of others rejecting you. You are only in control of how you come across. If you are coming across in ways that unintentionally turn people off there are things you can do to change that. Just do not give up. Even with the odds against you, you can still find what you are looking for, as long as you are willing to put in the work. With that said if you continue to have no second dates, you may want to sign up and see a dating coach, before no second dates turns into no first dates either.

25 Reasons You got Ghosted Dumped After a Great First Date

11/18/2017

25 reasons you got ghosted dumped after a great first date
25 reasons you got ghosted dumped after a great first date
by Frank Kermit

I recently came across a question about a particular dating dilemma. You go out on a first date that goes incredibly well. There is great music, mood, great talks, laughter, and physical contact including passionate kissing. Things are going so well that based on the way you are connecting, you both make plans for a second date. Then the next day, the person contacts you and says not interested and did not feel any chemistry. Why would anyone go through the motions of an entire first date as if they are interested, only to say in an impersonal communication the next day they did not feel any chemistry?

Actually, it could be a number of reasons. It really depends on the overall context. As a coach for dating and relationships, I have come across more than my fair share of reasons why people disappear after a great first date.





Here are some possibilities and reasons that come directly from my experience as a coach, working with people who have dumped someone after a great first date:



1-The date came across as just two good friends hanging out, but nothing more. It is good to get along with your date. But if all you do is act like good buddies without any sexual tension, then kissing may not be as passionate for the other person as it was for you.


2-The ex came back into the picture between your first and second date. It is easier to tell someone that they felt no chemistry, instead of telling you the truth. With that said, if the communication is happening right in front of the newly returned partner/formerly ex, it would make sense for the person to completely downplay any chemistry that might have actually existed.


3-The person was cheating (or attempting to cheat) but in the end decided against it and ended it before things got out of hand. In this vain of thought, if the person was actually trying to cheat and got caught (or almost caught), it would make sense to end it quickly before you turn stalker-like and send a series of messages that the cheater partner may come across. Hard to keep pursuing when someone tells you “no-chemistry”.

4-The person has a sexually transmitted infection (STI) and desires socializing, even limited physical touching, but cannot risk giving into the impulse to have sex, so the person cancels any potential future dates. Instead of wondering why someone broke your heart, you might actually consider being grateful that someone may have just spared you life without you knowing it. It is easier to dump a person than to expose themselves by revealing the true nature of their health status to a relative stranger.


5-The person was using you to pay for the meal and lavish date, or using you to get into a venue that you have access too. Once the person got what they wanted in exchange for a little compensation touching, they are moving on to the next target.


6-The person really liked you and intended to date you again, but felt their friends and or family would not approve of you so dumped you. The validation of friends and family approval is why some people will continue to end up perpetually single.

7-Something you said/did on the date turned the other person right off but the person could not react in the moment (for example, during the date you made insulting jokes about a particular group of people and the person is related to someone of that group). So instead of acting in the moment and revealing private personal information, the person chose to act as if everything was OK to protect their privacy for the rest of the night to be safe.


8-Each person has emotional needs. If you did not satisfy the emotional needs of the person you dated they will have no motivation to date you again. Maybe you seriously violated the person’s emotional needs, or you simply did not address them and were neutral.


9. The person is a virgin (or very inexperienced) and does not know how to process intense emotions that comes after having a great first date and does not want to feel pressured into going on a second date. Not everyone is ready to experience the next level of intimacy that a second date may represent.

10-The person is trying hard to date someone not their type BUT isn't willing to push through the next level of a second date. You weren’t the type they were normally attracted to, and they were looking to be open-minded for a first date, but just could not fake it enough to make a second date happen.


11-The person could have been triggered by a past trauma and just cannot date you. It has nothing to do with you personally. It could be that you remind the person of someone that hurt him or her; or it could be the feeling of connection and chemistry that triggered them; and associate those good feelings with a core hurt. It is easier to dump you than to deal with past trauma.


12-The person lied on the first date about something, and worries they will get found out. So you get dumped before you even have the chance to dump them later on when you find out the truth.

13. The other person was just looking for a one-night stand, but was waiting for you to make a move or give them a sign. When you did not, the person lost interest. If someone is just looking for a one-night-stand, they are not committed to anything they say in the moment, because the current moment is all that interests them. They were never interested in a second date. They just wanted sex that night, and when the moment passed, they aren’t interested in giving you another chance to waste time.


14-The person was a professional looking for you to pay money for companionship on an ongoing basis, but discovered through the process of the date that you were either not wealthy enough or not willing enough to accept such an arrangement. Rather than try to change your mind, or reveal their true intentions, they would rather focus on recruiting an easier client.


15-The person was seeing multiple people at the same time, and someone made the move before you did to earn a monogamous commitment and thus the person had to dump all other people he or she was dating.

16-The person was running a bet or taking part in a contest with some friends, about who they could get to date them, or how many first dates the person could get, or how far they could get someone attached and wanting a second date. This one is cruel, but it does happen. You might have just been a target for someone else’s participation in a contest bet that had nothing to do with you.


17-The person was struggling and/or questioning their sexual orientation and decided to try to date someone like you to see what it would be like, to either prove, confirm or disprove something. Sometimes you are just someone else’s experiment while questioning.

18-The person was hit with a crisis situation that required all of his or her focus and attention, and simply was not in a position to even entertain getting into a relationship much less date. A personal diagnosis, sickness of a family member, the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, and any other major sense of loss that a person would have to cope with. Tragedy can kill any feeling of chemistry that may have actually existed, and the person might rather set you free than to be honest and risk you wasting your time waiting for him or her. Tragedy changes people, and the person they become might not be a good dating partner for you in the future.


19-The person sensed that you generally have a good heart, and that they simply are not into you as much as you are into them. The person likes you a lot, but not as much as you liked them, so decided best to cut you loose before you get more attached and get really hurt. The person might be trying to be ethical after all, but has chosen a less than great way to do it.


20-The person looked you up on the Internet after the first date, and the searches revealed lots of information about you from your professional work profiles and on your social media. With the mystery gone, and perhaps finding out things about you and your worst moments and traits, it was a no-go from there. Maybe you a friends with someone that is an ex lover of theirs, or they do not like the social circles you keep.

21-The person was a people pleaser. Fear of conflict makes some people act completely agreeable during the first date, to the point of misleading you to think you actually stand a chance at a second date. They hide behind a polite façade to the point of aggressively going along in the moment with anything someone presents them with, to the point where they react with a backlash the next day with a rejection. Might be a good thing that you did not end up dating that person more than you did.


22-The person has incredibly low self-esteem and figures that you will eventually end it when you get to know them, so they dump you first, even though they actually want to date you. Better to dump you now instead of you abandoning them later and justifying their low self-esteem.


23-The person wants to play a mind-game with you to see if you will chase them. Some are legitimately interested in you, but the way they react to any attachment/attraction is to push you away really hard to see if you are going to “prove” yourself and chase them really hard. Some have no interest in you at all, but just love the attention you may shower them with by pushing you away and watching you chase them. Some of these people could be suffering from a mental illness of some kind, while others are just malicious. Either way, if someone pushes you away that much, maybe you should just accept it.

24-The person is running scared. The person did not expect to like you so much and wasn’t ready for the potential connection that seemed to be developing, so they ran away from you using any excuse they could think of. (Run Forest Run!) Some people really have a fear of intimacy and you came across too good to be true.


25-Maybe the person really likes your company in the moment but does not see a long-term future. If someone is seeking out a serious long term partner, they may not want to spend their time with people who they are interested in, but do not believe will be there long term. Maybe the person really liked you and you read all the signs correctly. However, after the first date, it is possible the person reflected on their life goals and realized that they need to focus on dating people that have a serious long-term relationship candidacy and felt you did not qualify for that. Chances are, that in reading these stories from my years of coaching, you might see yourself in one of them, or even come up with a few more possible reasons on your own. You are not in control of others rejecting you. You are only in control of how you come across. If you are coming across in ways that unintentionally turn people off there are things you can do to change that. Just do not give up. Even with the odds against you, you can still find what you are looking for, as long as you are willing to put in the work.

Suggestions For Couples Who Are Going Through A Rough Patch

7/25/2017

4 Communication tips for couples are highlighted in this contributed post.
​

A rocky patch in your relationship can cause distress to both sides. It can affect your work, your social life, and your family life too, especially if there are children involved. While it may feel like your relationship is coming to an end, ups and downs are very common in relationships, and you may be able to work through your issues to make it out the other end happier and more content. Take a look at some of the solutions below that could help you both work through your issues to get your relationship back on track.

Talk

Communication is key to a healthy relationship. However, this is one element that many people struggle with, and it’s poor communication that can ruin a relationship. Talking through your issues is difficult, but if you can do so in a way that is non-argumentative and simply expresses how both sides feel, you may find that there is an easier solution to your problems than you realize. Take some time to really talk to each other about the things that have been bothering you for a much healthier relationship where both sides feel heard.


Counselling

You may not really know much about couples counselling, or feel that it is not for you, but it is something that helps thousands of couples each day to enjoy healthier, more honest relationships. Whether you have problems communicating with each other, you suffer from sexual intimacy issues or anything else that may be causing your rough patch; couples counselling could be the thing that brings you both together again in a safe and open space.


Get away from it all

Sometimes it’s outside factors that cause our relationships to suffer. If work is affecting your relationship for example, or even one person having a much more active social life than the other, then a vacation could be just what the two of you need. Putting physical distance between the issue and your relationship could be beneficial, and a vacation will give you both the chance to relax without distractions to leave you both feeling much happier when you return. A vacation will also help you establish some perspective so that when you return, you can find ways to manage your workload better or prioritize your relationship over late nights with friends to help you refocus on your relationship.
​


Spend more time together
​
Sometimes the issue can be that you’re just not spending time together. It can be difficult if your schedules clash, or you’re in a long-distance relationship, but these are issues that can be resolved by spending more quality time together. Try to spend time together, enjoying date nights that are free from distractions (that means keeping your phones away!), that let you both catch up on how you’re doing and enjoy each other’s company.

Relationship issues can be difficult, but for many people, they are a phase that will disappear with a bit of work. It’s important to remember that love is not a power play, so it’s important to treat your partner as an equal and ensure that they do the same in return. It’s difficult to deal with issues, but tackling them head on will benefit your relationship and make you both stronger for it.

Surrounded by our family and friends, I looked at Matthew and felt certain I had met the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with.


Quite simply, he was my soulmate.

40+
one time happy couple
It all seemed so simple to my naïve, 19-year-old self.

​I was, I smugly told myself, the girl who had it all.


So why, 20 years later, do I find myself  single, childless and tormented by the fact that I have thrown away the only true chance of happiness I ever had?


Eight years after that wonderful engagement party in 1989,
I walked away from dear, devoted, loyal Matthew,
convinced that somewhere out there,
a better, more exciting,
more fulfilling life awaited me.

Only there wasn't. 


Now I am 42
and have all the trappings of success
- a high-flying career, financial security
and a home in the heart of London's trendy Notting Hill.

But I don't have the one thing I crave more than anything:

a loving husband and family.


'My father warned me not to throw this love away. But I was sure I'd find Mr Perfect around the corner'


You see, I never did find another man
who offered everything Matthew did,
who understood me and loved me like he did.
Someone who was my best friend as well as my lover. 



Today, seeing friends
with their children around them
tortures me,
as I know I am unlikely ever
to have a family of my own.

I think about the times
Matthew and I talked about having children,
even discussing the names we would choose.

I cannot believe I turned my back
on so much happiness.



Instead, here I am back on the singles market,
looking for the very thing
I discarded with barely a backward glance
all those years ago.


I know I can't have Matthew back,
and it hurts when I hear
snippets of information
about his life
and how content he is.

Fifteen years after I ended our relationship,
he is happily married.

​

At this time of year, so many people will be assessing their lives and relationships, wondering if the grass is greener on the other side.

Many will mistake contentment for boredom, forgetting to cherish the good things they have.

I would urge those who are considering walking away from such riches to think again.

How different things would be for me now if only I'd listened to Matthew when he pleaded with me not to leave him in 1997,
tears pouring down his face.

I was crying too,
and it tortured me
to watch the heart of the man I loved
breaking in front of me.

But I was resolute.


'One day I might look back and realize 
I've made the biggest mistake of my life,'
I told him as we clung to each other desperately.

How prophetic those words have proven to be.

'I will always be here for you,'
Matthew promised.

And I, arrogantly,
thought that somehow
I could put him on ice and return to him.

Matthew and I met when we attended the same comprehensive school in Essex.

We started dating just before Christmas 1987 when I was 17 and studying for my A-levels.

By that time he had left school and was working as a motorcycle courier.

We got on like a house on fire, and our  families each supported the relationship.

Before long, we had fallen in love.

Matthew was romantic but incredibly practical, something that would later come to annoy me.

​His gifts to me that Christmas were a leather jacket - and a pair of thermal leggings.

Two weeks later, when we'd been seeing each other for less than a month, he proposed.  

We were in my little Mini Clubman when he shouted at me to stop the car.

Scared something was wrong, I braked in the middle of traffic and we both jumped out. 


Then, oblivious to the other drivers beeping their horns, he got down on one knee in the middle of the road.

'I love you, Karen Cross,' he said.

'Promise you'll marry me one day.'

I laughed and said yes, thrilled that he felt the same way that I did.
 

In the summer of 1989, while out for a romantic meal, Matthew proposed properly with a diamond solitaire ring.

​Two months later, we held our engagement party for 40 friends and family at the little house we were renting at the time.

The following year, we bought a tiny starter home in Grays, Essex, which we moved into with furniture
we had begged, borrowed and stolen.


We giggled with delight at the thought of this grown-up new life.


I was in my first junior role at a women's magazine
and Matthew worked fitting tyres and exhausts,
so our combined salaries of around £15,000 a year
meant we struggled to make the mortgage payments.


But we didn't care,
telling ourselves that it wouldn't be long before
we were earning more
and able to afford weekly treats
and a bigger home
where we could bring up the babies we had planned.



But then,
the housing market crashed
and we were plunged into negative equity.



Struggling should have brought us closer together,
and at first it did.

But as time went on,
and my magazine career - and salary - advanced,

​I started to resent Matthew
as he drifted from one dead-end job to another.




I still loved him,
but I began to feel embarrassed by his blue-collar jobs,
annoyed that,
despite his intelligence,
he didn't have a career.


Then he bought a lurid blue and pink VW  Beetle. 



Why couldn't he drive a normal car?


Things that now seem incredibly insignificant began to niggle.


​
I began to wish he was more sophisticated and earned more.

I felt envious of friends with better-off partners,
who were able to support them as they started their families. 


I stopped seeing Matthew as my equal.

I stopped seeing all the qualities that had made me fall in love with him - his fierce intelligence, our shared sense of humour, his determination not to follow the crowd.

Instead,
I saw someone who was holding me back.

I encouraged him to find a career
and was thrilled when he was accepted
to join the police in 1995.

It should have heralded a new chapter in our lives,
but it only hastened the end.

We went from spending every evening
and weekend together,
to hardly seeing one another.

Matthew was doing round-the-clock shifts,
while I worked long hours
on the launch of a new magazine. 


Our sex life had dwindled
and nights out together were rare.

I stopped appreciating little things he did,
like leaving romantic notes on the pillow
or scouring secondhand bookshops
for novels he knew I'd love.

He was my best friend,
yet I took him totally for granted. 



After festering for weeks about his shortcomings,
I told Matthew I was leaving.

We spent hours talking and crying
as he tried to convince me to stay,
but I was adamant. 


My parents were horrified
that I was walking away
from a man they felt was right for me.

My father's words to me that day continue to haunt me.

'Karen, think carefully about what you're doing.
There's a lot to be said for someone who truly loves you
.'

But, I refused to listen,
convinced there would be another,
better Mr Right waiting around the corner.


I moved into a rented flat a few miles away
in Hornchurch, Essex,
and embraced single life
with a vengeance.

By now I was an editor on a national magazine.
Life was one long round of premieres
and dinner or drinks parties.


Matthew and I remained close,
even telling each other about new relationships.

But though I'd dumped him,
I never felt the women he met were good enough.
I can see now I was acting out of jealousy.
I clearly wanted to keep him for myself.



Our closeness was,
however, called to a halt in 2000
when he met his first serious girlfriend after me, Sara.
 

One night shortly after his 34th birthday,
I phoned to ask his advice about something. 


Matthew was unusually abrupt
and asked me not to call him again.

'Please don't send me birthday or Christmas cards
any more either.
Sara opened your card last week
and was really upset.
I have to put her feelings first.'



I hated the fact Matthew
was suddenly putting another woman before me.

How dare she come between us!

Over the next few weeks,
I'm ashamed to say
I vented my spleen at both of them
in a series of heated phone calls. 



I was completely irrational.

I didn't want Matthew back,
but felt upstaged by Sara.  



Unsurprisingly,
after one particularly nasty argument,

Matthew put the phone down
and refused to take any more of my calls.

I didn't realize it at the time,
but I would never speak to him again. 



Shortly afterwards,
I met Richard.
It was a whirlwind romance,
and within a year we were engaged
and buying an idyllic farmhouse
in the Norfolk countryside
while I continued my journalistic career,
commuting to London. 


He was a successful singer
and, as we toured the country,
I thought I had finally found
the excitement and love
that I craved.



But Matthew was never far from my thoughts,
and Richard complained
that I often brought him into conversations,
even comparing them both.


They were so different.

Although outwardly romantic,
Richard was repeatedly unfaithful,
and I never felt secure enough
to start a family with him.

Eventually,
after three-and-a-half years together,
he walked out,
having admitted his latest paramour
was pregnant by him. 



My life fell apart.

Over the next year,
I struggled to pull myself back together
and did a lot of soul-searching.

I finally understood what my father had meant.

I realized Matthew was the only person
who had loved and understood me.



When I heard through a mutual friend
that he had split up with Sara,
I wrote to him,
apologising and asking for forgiveness
- and a second chance.

It was six years since we had last spoken,
but naively I thought he would want to hear from me.



What I didn't know
was that Sara
was still living at the house
and it was she
who opened
my very personal letter.

It included my phone number,
and she left me several angry,
hurtful voicemails. 




Yet again,
I had inadvertently caused problems
in Matthew's life,
so it was unsurprising
I never heard from him,
despite writing several times
over the next few months.

In the end,
I left it at birthday
and Christmas cards,
thinking he'd find a way
to get in touch
if he ever changed his mind.



Then, I heard a couple of years ago
Matthew had married
his new partner, Nicola.

For a few moments I couldn't breathe,
then the tears came.



Matthew and Nicola still live in Essex
and, as far as I know, don't yet have children.

That's the next milestone I truly dread. 


It's been 11 years since Matthew and I last spoke,
and I have to accept that door has closed. 


Perhaps he has found what  he is looking for
and I am a distant memory.


I have had one other 
significant relationship since Richard
- with Rob -
but that recently ended after four years.

Rob reminded me a lot of Matthew.
He was decent and honourable,
the life and soul of the party but with a kind and sensitive side. 


But we were each too jaded
by previous heartbreak to make it work.


And while I wanted children,
he had a grown-up son and didn't want to start over again.

So once again I am on my own,
my mind full of 'if-onlys'.
If only I'd stayed with Matthew,
we'd almost certainly be married with children. 


Or, maybe Matthew wasn't the right man.
I will never know  the answer,
but my decision to leave him
has definitely cost me the chance
of ever becoming a mother.


Now I can only look back
and admonish my selfish,
younger self.

When I visit friends and family back in our home town,
I can't help but hope I'll bump into  Matthew.


I'd like to think I'd say sorry.
That I will always be there for him.
But I wouldn't be surprised
if he turned his back on me and kept walking. 


To those out there thinking of walking away from humdrum relationships,

I would say don't mistake contentment for unhappiness, as I did.

It could be a choice you'll regret for the rest of your life.

Coping With Loss: Writing A Book

Coping With Loss:  Writing A Book
by Frank Kermit



Have you ever considered writing a book?

The book could be about the life of the person you lost.

The book could be about your life, and how who or what you lost was a major part of it.

The book could be a cautionary tale about appreciating what you got before it is gone.

The book could be a warning to others so that they do not have to experience the loss you did.

The book does not have to be a serious novel.

The book could be a children's storybook with an important lesson.

That part is up to you.

Books have a page where you can dedicate it to your loss.

Dedicated to Gary Johnson
​​I dedicated my autobiography to my good friend Gary Johnson. I published the book in September of that year. Gary died in December of that year. It means a lot to me that I was able to get a copy of the book to him with the dedication in it, just before he died. I have since updated the dedication page to let readers know of my loss.

There are a lot of ways to keep the memory of your loss alive.

If you like to write, a book is one of them.

You do not even need a publisher. 

You can self publish your book using print-on- demand sites,

or make it a PDF file for people to buy and or download on your own online site. 

Think about it. 

-Frank Kermit

Dedication Page of From Loser To Seducer:
The Story of Frank Kermit

This book is dedicated to:


Gary Johnson

(May 11,1939 - December 18, 2006)


I first met Gary in college. He had come back to school as a mature student (age 50+). Despite the age difference, we had become good friends, and I think of him as a mentor about life, while I was his mentor in school.

He had lived quite a life for himself, as a road manager for an artist named Chubby Checker, and made a living for himself for many years in the downtown Montreal nightlife and bar scene as a club owner and bartender.

When I had met him, he was retired from that life and had gone back to school to pick up what he had missed the first time around.

He gave me an insider’s perspective of his world, with a non-judgmental view of my world.

After college, we ended up in university together in the same program. He had to stop going to school after the first few terms due to ill health that included two strokes.


In September 2005 I went to see Gary to hand him a copy of this book with his dedication.

After that, I moved city. It would be the last time I saw him.

​He died three months later.

I miss our time together.

Coping With Loss: Setting Up A Memorial

Coping With Loss: Setting Up A Memorial
by Frank Kermit



Setting up a Memorial can,
sometimes easy the burden of grief.


It means putting some of your focus on
how you want your loss to be remembered.

A memorial can take different forms.

A statue or shrine in your own home.

A symbol set up at your local place of worship.

It can even be a donation in the name of the loss.


It can also be a very private act,
such as helping a needy family,
done in the memory of your loss.

If you find a way to set up a memorial,
that works for you,
that helps bring you peace and healing,
then go for it.

Coping With Loss: The First Year of Firsts

The Year Of Firsts After Loss
by Frank Kermit



The first 12 months after a tremendous loss is the hardest.

It is the first time you will experience yearly events without the person or element you lost.

Your first birthday without the person.

Your first holiday season without your previous career.

Your first significant day of importance, without your precious pet.

Each time you experience a date of significance, without your loss, it is a hard reminder of the events that lead to the loss to beginning.


It is important to remember that as each year passes,
it WILL get easier.



When they say time helps the healing process,
that does mean that time will make the hurt go away.


What it does mean is that with time
comes experience of being able to go through
each year after your year of firsts.


And with each passing year
you get more experience
at getting used to your life without your loss.


So hang in there.



Expect that the first year is going to be the hardest.

And, over the years, you will have new people, new jobs,
and new pets to cherish and celebrate with you.

Remembering The Dead At Weddings

Coping With Loss: Remembering and Honoring The Dead At a Wedding

Remembering the Dead at a Wedding
 by Frank Kermit


Sometimes, couples who marry want to do something
at the wedding in memory of the people who passed away.
 

This happens, especially when the death was recent.

 
At my wedding, my wife and I did a little ceremony at the reception where we lit a candle and read an inscription, announcing it was in memory of various relatives that had died, who would have wanted to attend. 

It was very short, but it did bring us come comfort, and it was also comforting to some of the attendees who were still in mourning.


 

We all cope with loss differently.

 
It is important for the wedding couple to also remember,
that not everyone will appreciate your efforts
to pay tribute to your lost loved ones.



One of the biggest mistakes I see people make,
is they try to tell someone else that how they grieve is wrong.

 
For example, this story is of a wedding I attended:

A father dies a few months before his son is set to be married.

At the wedding, a special tribute is made in honor of the late father.
The groom and his mom dance to a song that was in memory of his dad.

All the guests were invited on the dance floor to circle them.

 
Then it happened...




at one point, the groom and his mom started to cry a little.
It was not a hysterical cry at all, but the tears were evident.

Everyone around them formed into a circle continued to move to the music.


...except one man.


 
He started to raise his voice to tell the DJ to stop the music.
He was an uncle in the family, and felt that the song and tribute
was making them cry and that it was wrong.

So he made a fool of himself
trying to stop the tribute.

 

Luckily, the DJ and the rest of the guests ignored him.




The uncle was not comfortable with seeing, or dealing with, grief.
He tried to "protect" everyone else from grief as well.
 

That was the worst thing he could have done, and lucky for
everyone at the wedding,
the DJ was smart enough not to listen to him.

 
Make sure that you let the DJ,
or other wedding professionals involved
know about any potential trouble-makers,


and let the wedding professionals also know exactly what your wishes are in case a wedding guest decides to act out.




If you can predict who might be the kind of person to act out, at your wedding, it might be a good idea to let that person know ahead of time what you are planning.


This is not about getting that person's permission.
It is more about letting that person know,
so the shock of surprise
in combination of the grief and mourning
does not motivate that person
into doing something
that will turn your wedding
from spectacular
to a spectacle.
 
-Frank Kermit
