...when he can't get it up? When he seems so very willing and eager...when his desire is evident by all that he says. How should I take it (as a woman) when he can't cash the check?

If you truly care for him, give him a credit.

Still sorting out how much we truly care...this would have been the first time. Didn't happen. Don't know how to take it.

Nice. I know you're kidding, but I am serious here. And I would never say anything emasculating.....ever....no matter what.

So many reasons as to why it would happen. The worst thing to do is blame yourself. What ever the reason, don’t go that rout.

You might want to try a one on one deep, meaningful and honest chat about what’s going on.

He left. Mortified, I think, though I did my best to keep him from feeling that way. He had been pursuing me for months, which may be part of the problem. When the rubber hit the road (so to speak), I think he was just a bit overwhelmed (not by me..I am not so egotistical as that...but by the circumstances).

As Rick had suggested, there can be many reasons for this.

The pride of the man will play a (forgive me here) huge role, of course. My thoughts are, um, try try again...tip hat

Is he just a random partner or your significant other? Either way, does he know that his (most-likely-acute) ED is being discussed on a dating website?

uh oh

2 answers...
"random partner"...no. I don't really do random. OK, so there are those that ultimately become random, but not from my choosing. I don't like one-nighters, yet have had quite a few over the years. I can't control what happens the next day.
And, for the second answer...he does not know that I have raised this question, but I would never divulge who he is and he is not on this site, anyway. He is completely anonymous and unknown to anyone but me.

How does one approach these situations.roll eyes

I had it happen with my last girlfriend, but not because I couldn't function, but because I didn't trust her. Funny how the body reacts to some situations.laugh I felt a lot of different emotions at the time but it had nothing to do with me physically.
It does happen, and you shouldn't take it as an affront to you. Maybe you're too much or too beautiful for him to know how to accept the fact that you're there with him.
I dunno, it can be so many different variables that one answer or even many might not be the one that explains it correctly.

I will say it's not likely you as much as it is him. Either way, I hope you didn't terrify the poor feller!laugh

Does this thread, conceptually, have any relationship to the "Why Men Don't Smile" thread? confused

They are moments when pay day seems to be a very exciting day. Many look forward to seeing the cashier. Then all of a sudden, WHAM! The mind goes on a blank. Stress hit’s a whole different plateau. Some women can be a little too much for a man.

In situations such as this, who really feels worse? Either way, our egos are involved. I would certainly give him another chance, but I m certain I won't hear from him again....and after so many attempts to connect with me, too. No, I know he is a goner. This is what I don't really get. I wasn't avoiding him or playing hard to get or something; I just had conflicts from work and such that kept me from accepting his invitations in the past. Then we finally went out a few nights ago; and again last night. Then, tonight, he wasn't physically able to take our potential relationship any further. And now I know I won't hear from him again. And why??? Now I feel like crap and I imagine he does, too. Such a shame.
