To recap: Had a second date with this woman, it wasn't great. She was grumpy, upset and in a bad mood. She started crying at one point. When I got home, I had a phone call from her next door neighbour (a woman I've known for over 10 years.) - She told me that I'm a nice guy and I should know that this woman is seeing another bloke. She went to his place for a weekend and slept with him. These 2 women have had a fall out over this.

A few days later to my surprize I get a text from her and she asks me out for this Friday. I said 'yes' - thought 'why not ?'

Throughout the week, I don't hear much from her. I do notice though she is spending alot of time on facebook. (She's going on facebook when she's getting in from work etc. She has very few friends on there, the guy she slept with is one of them.) - all of this made me think that our date wouldn't happen and she would probably go off with the other guy.

Got a message from her today on facebook, date is off, she has to goto the doctors. I wasn't surprized and she came across just the same: she was moaning and complaining about evertything. It's becoming boring and tiresome.

So that's her and as the days go by the less bothered I am.

This other woman: I was in love with her, now not so much. She's got this fella and is living with him. We've kept in touch over the year (We used to work together !) - met her last week for a coffee; her idea.

Anyway found out last week that my big, fat, pig of a boss was screwing her. He's married by the way. There was lots of rumours at work. I always thought 'surely not !' - but apparantly it was true - he was spotted visiting her house during the day when he was supposed to be at work. All I'm thinking is 'what a **** !' - I don't want anything to do with her to be honest but she has been sending quite alot of texts just recently.

So in the end both stories are the same really. The other guy is screwing her while I'm the 'friend' or the 'shoulder to cry on'

A third woman - everybody at work seems to want me to ask her out. I did and she never got back to me. I do have her mobile number and we exchange texts every now and again. I walked her home last Saturday after this works party. She chatted but never once suggested meeting up.

Being just the nice guy has pretty consistent downsides.

Putter I aint no expert but seems to me that you took too long to "make a move". When things take too long the sparck tends to fade away.
 
This isn't just about being the nice guy. It's about selecting the wrong women.
 
Indeed. Notice the judicious use of the word 'just' ;) Its not the sole cause.

I'm not sure.

On our first date she said she had met men who wanted sex on the first date and she wasn't interested.

Just before our date, (literally a few minutes), I was looking on facebook and she was suddenly 'in a relationship' with this guy. On our date she claimed not to know him and he was some random guy who had liked her picture and he had added the 'in a relationship' comment. She had gone along with it for a joke.

After the first date which I thought went well, I asked her out the following week. She said she couldn't because of child care problems. A few weeks after that, we had our second meeting and when I got in her next door neighbour; a woman I've known for years; rang me up and told me everything. She had lied about not knowing the guy on her facebook. She had met on a dating site. The weekend after seeing me, she went to see him (He lives in a different city) and they slept together. The two women have discussed this and have had a major fall out. The next door neighbour doesn't like the way I have been treated.

A few days after that I got asked out but the date got cancelled. She's going to the doctors apparantly. I've not spoken to the next door neighbour since the phone call, I have sent an email asking her if this woman is still seeing the other guy. If she is then I'm not going to bother with her again.

I think the only thing I did wrong was to believe her ******** facebook story about this other guy.

Doesn't it suck that the more you get to know people the more you wish you never bothered?

Yes, I'm glad I went on the date because it was the first in over a decade. But she's become annoying now. I'm not going to send her anymore text messages and maybe she will not bother with me. I don't want to tell her I don't want to see her anymore.

I wanted her to be a nice person, even if it was only friends between us. I feel let down and it feels like a big waste of time. I've spent money on going out clothes as well.

I don't know. Maybe I am been too rash. She says all the right things, sorry, tells me I'm understanding, keep in touch, etc. I wish I could trust her and believe what she says. I saw her first on October 1st, seen her once since for an hour or so. She replies to my text messages quickly and seems to care.

Don't know what I am to her, if she has this other bloke who she see's and screws; why continue to keep in touch with me ?

Don't understand.

 
I felt a bit cheesed off yesterday so on my facebook page I wrote out the lyrics to The Smith's I Know it's over. I've always liked that song and I think it sums up how I feel at times. It was as well a slight dig at this woman I have been seeing. She has this other fella and I thought the lyrics were suited to the situation. It's a triangle and I'm the lowest point.

Daft thing is she came on the chat and said she liked the lyrics and wanted to know where they were from. She said they were very nice. She asked for more lyrics so I posted some more. She liked them as well. She then wrote some lyrics herself and the other guy 'liked' them and said they were 'very sweet' - the lyrics she wrote were romantic and I don't know if they were meant for him. If so, don't know why she is bothering with me.
