Tried dating for the first time this year and met this guy I really liked. He took me on dates and I thought he liked me too. Then he started going days and sometimes a week without talking to me. I didn’t block him because i’m dumb and unfortunately still liked him. A month later he started breadcrumbing me on different social media apps. He eventually reached out a couple months later like nothing happened ….and I replied. I know, It was dumb. We talked for a couple weeks and then he started going silent for days/weeks and would come back like nothing (shocker!). I tried convincing myself to be okay with it because I thought I could do casual but I cant. I still wanted more and he did not want that clearly. I blocked him on everything a few weeks ago and it was hard at first. I will never make the mistake of letting someone back into my life after hurting my feelings. Never do it. :/

A few months ago a guy rejected me after five dates and said he met someone. Then he said he would be open to seeing me again if things don’t work out. We didn’t talk for almost two months and then he randomly messaged me the other day. This is embarrassing to admit but I was kinda glad he reached out because i missed him….until I realized he has a girlfriend. Then he started saying sexual stuff. I regret allowing him to contact me. So many people told me to block him back then and I didn’t listen. I feel so ashamed. :/

A couple weeks ago I posted in here about my first dating experience and how a guy rejected me in a messed up way so he could pursue someone else. I was honestly pretty sad because it was my first time ever having feelings for someone. He reached out recently and said some things that completely erased any bit of sadness I had. I feel bad for his girlfriend and I cannot believe I wanted to be in her place at one point. Looking back to how sad I was when I made that post compared to how I feel now is crazy. Rejection truly is protection sometimes.

i guess i keep trying to make myself feel better by thinking that if i got treated that poorly by a fuckboy/player then he will eventually do that to the new girl, right? or is it just me and the fact that he just didn’t like me? it hurts to think that i was treated that way and she wont be. it’s hard to not take it personally. :/

i’m new to dating, i went on my first date ever with a guy and we continued going on dates after that. i also lost my virginity to him (not right away). i really liked him, he pursued me first, he was super nice to me and made me feel good about myself, always complimenting me, etc.

a week after our fourth date he told me he met someone so good for him and wants to see how things unfold so he has to put things “on hold for a bit” with me. then he followed up saying he wants to see me if things don’t work out with her.

i looked into it and found out that he’s actually been seeing this girl for months and they went on a trip together earlier this year. he told me she was a friend. two hours after he told me he chose her he continued to text me like nothing happened. he likes and replies to my instagram stories still. nothing like this has ever happened to me before and it honestly hurt more than i expected. i’m sensitive and i find it hard to not be sad about it lol. is this normal with dating? am i likely going to experience this again?

it’s been three weeks since we’ve talked. this was my first time “dating” someone. my first kiss, lost my virginity to him, he took me on my first date ever. i think that’s why it’s taking so long for me to get over it. after multiple dates, sleepover, etc he told me he has to “put things on hold for a bit” because he met someone so good for him and wants to see how things unfold with her. then he continued to text me a couple hours later…and the next day too.

the last time he talked to me he replied to my ig story. i found out this girl he claims he just met he’s been seeing her for months and they went on vacation together five months ago. i never even had a chance because she was his priority even when he pursued me. he knew this was my first dating experience and he still did this to me. it hurts.
