Got rejected simply because she’s in the same social circle as my ex
Today I got rejected by a girl that I’ve had an eye for, for over a year. We didn’t start talking until a couple of days ago, and she’s only been aware of my existence for about a week. I quickly realised how she never started a single conversation, but was very talkative and interested once I’ve started one. It genuinely felt like it was going somewhere. Today I asked her if she wanted to hangout on Saturday, and she sent my a message saying «I can’t hangout, because I’ve got plans with (my ex’s full name)», which I don’t believe at all because I know for a fact that they aren’t that close. They do however have many mutual friends. We started talking about it, and I told her that I don’t think that my ex would’ve had anything against us hanging out, which she agreed to, but explained how it still would’ve felt uncomfortable for her. I totally understand it and realise that I have to let her go. It feels really unfair, how a 2 year old relationship which only lasted a couple of months, are still affecting literally EVERYTHING that can lead to a future. I just kinda felt I had to get it off my chest somewhere. Has anyone else been in a similar situation or have any thoughts/advice?
