A couple of years ago I met someone I thought was very special. We had an amazing and magical first date after which I called my mom and friends and gushed to them about this incredible guy who was unlike anyone else I had ever met. We had many more dates in the months that followed at which time things changed and the last minute cancellations with lame excuses began. Shortly after this, I discovered his wedding registry and website on the Internet. I learned that he had proposed to his fiancee the week before our last date.

After getting over the initial shock of his engagement and confronting him about it (he denied it at first), I began having a very hard time trusting the men I dated. The past two years have been difficult and I am constantly shocked and saddened to learn that men I had thought were “good guys,” can put up a really good facade.

In case you’re wondering, SpeedDating Guy did not call as he said he would. Again.
