candles-

Thought i met a good guy, turns out he just wanted to have sex.

I had my first date in the new city i'm living in last night. We have been texting for a week now. Were in the same profession which we both bonded over, he seemed very romantic and a gentleman. It was great the start, we went to the bar and then he showed me his rooftop with the city view. I was having so much fun.

He asked me what i was looking for, and i said i'm open to exploring and trying something more longterm and he said the same thing. I was so surprised i had someone talk to me about my intentions in the first date, it made me feel great hearing the transparency. I always dated boys who i had to wonder "what are we" after every single date.

He explained to me he has only had sex with 2 people, and sex is such an intimate thing to him. I felt amazing having someone explain these things to me. I feel the same way. I am very pro-sex and i enjoy it, but it felt great having a man say the same thing us women feel in terms on intimacy.

We go to his apartment, the drinks were flowing, and we made out. He then took me to his room and we had sex. Everything happened to so fast. I thought to myself maybe he was feeling me, and so was i. It was consensual. I wanted to have sex.

We got done, and i noticed the condom had blood on it. I started bleeding during sex. He got turned off so quick. He went from being a gentleman to be a complete dick. We initially spoke about me staying the night. After he saw the blood, he said he's going over to his friends apartment to go watch a movie, hinting for me to leave. It was so embarrassing. I felt disgusting over something i couldn't control. He didn't even want to walk me out. No after care. No consoling me. No cuddling. No hug goodbye. I cried so much last night on the way home. How can someone be so mean to someone they were just intimate with. I feel so dumb thinking this man was different. The way he carried himself was just to find a way to have sex with me last night.

I realized he blocked me last night. I feel used. I feel disgusted with myself. I feel stupid seeing something in someone. I don't even want to tell my friends about this. I was so excited telling my friends about this date, now i'm scared to interact with me to avoid this date being brought up. I feel like a lost cause in dating, my outlook on it changed overnight. I'm scared. I don't want to ever feel like this again.

Is a little blood such a turn off to a man? Am i valid for being upset about this?
