Next time, don’t beat around the bushman

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I fell in love with a beast of a man who was probably twice my size. We had a great time in bed and I thought he was falling for me. I couldn't imagine he got a lot of women falling at his big feet, as he looks like a bushman. Last night he shocked me by telling me he had to break up with me because he had a "backlog" of women from Plenty of Fish who were bugging him to meet them, but he had stayed true with me the time we were together. Really! What an honour. I met him on Plenty of Fish and got a lousy month of his charm.

He said it was “only fair” to tell me he would never get serious about me, and he was going to date other people. I was shocked. I thought he was lucky that I wanted him. He’s not exactly a looker, and has got hair on his back. Who does he think he is?

— Got Dumped by Him, North Kildonan

 

Dear Got Dumped: Well, I guess Bushman is getting so much online action, he feels like a prince among men. Maybe you made a mistake by not talking about the situation ahead of time before you gave him a month of your charm, including hot times in bed with you. It sounds like he kept up his email campaign with these women, and perhaps talked to them on the phone as well. It’s not exactly cheating.

Get yourself checked out by a doctor for sexually transmitted infections. Then start online dating again, but this time be open about your intentions with a man and your dating style. Stay out of bed with him until you declare yourselves an exclusive couple. Because you didn’t discuss your setup with this guy, he was dabbling with others while he dated you, but you were on a whole different plan— exclusive and feeling bonded, all by yourself.
