Around 3 years ago, I met someone from a dating app (I’m a lesbian 26 and she is 25). She was my type physically, and she was the one who asked me out and was interested in me first. It felt like a scene out of a movie. She told me how she only wanted me. I thought it was so cute. We were texting all the time and went on two other dates. She paid for everything and got me gifts. I was so nervous as it was my first time being in love with someone, and I never kissed anyone before. While she didn’t reveal until later that she was previously engaged and also was in a psych ward after their breakup and got diagnosed with bipolar 2. I really didn’t care about any of this as I liked her a lot and she was medicated.

I didn’t know she was hooking up with others, and that upset me. We weren’t exclusive though, so it’s okay. Eventually, she changed and told me she wanted to be friends or friends with benefits because she’s leaving the country and dating isn’t a priority.

That really affected my mental health and didn’t have any guidance or support on what to do. I said I didn’t want to be friends because I thought she didn’t like me anymore but immediately regretted it after she was upset that I didn’t want to be friends. I kept on breaking up then getting back even after she invited me to her new apartment and I declined (I regret not going) until she said she’s over my mood swings and blocked me everywhere.

I went on many other dates, made so many new friends, but I keep thinking about her and comparing them to her. I know she’s not the best person, but she made me feel good. I feel like I didn’t get the closure I need, which is hard in my healing process. I was specifically excited to take her on a date but it never happened (she didn’t like me paying for her so she didn’t want). I wish we could just talk one last time because it will make me realize how she’s not worth it, or at least end things on a good note.

Although she mentioned she didn’t want me to think she was using me or think badly of her, my messages afterwards and mood swings will make it seem like I’m the bad person when they were just a reaction to how she treated me.

How do I move forward from this when I still feel she’s the only person I ever liked and I liked the way she loved me even though it didn’t last long

How do I move forward from this when I still feel emotionally attached because I never got closure?

l’m traveling from vancouver to LA and found booking with flair airlines hotel and flight as a package is cheaper than booking the hotel and flight separately by more than $200. Should I book it as a package?

I’m a female solo traveler visiting LA in September for 3 nights, mainly to relax at Santa Monica Beach. My budget is around $250 per night and I’m looking for a comfortable/safe hotel close to the beach.

I’ve found some hotels in Santa Monica that I like, but they’re above my budget. I’m open to staying in a nearby area if it’s convenient for getting to the beach. Any recommendations?

I’m a lesbian and I dated someone diagnosed with bipolar 2, 3 years ago, and I’ve dated many after her. But she was my first love, and I’ve loved her the most. She was actually interested in me first, and I loved the attention. Everything was perfect until she suddenly went through an episode and discarded me. She was perfect, so I never expected her to change. She basically came up with excuses that she’s moving to Europe so we can’t be in a serious relationship but would’ve loved to be friends or friends with benefits. She also said I can come over whenever. I still regret not agreeing.

I blamed and still blame myself. I was thinking of what I could’ve done so she stayed. To be honest, I was so upset and got too confrontational and blamed her that I felt used. But she was so cruel and mean and blocked me everywhere. I couldn’t believe this was the same person who loved me first. It ended, and I’m over it. I dated many people after her, but for some reason, she is still memorable. I also thought I’d give it some time and message her after months because she was going through an episode, but still, she was mean. Could I have changed anything? Or will everything have led to the same outcome?
