Feeling_Blue Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 I'm 27 and was with my previous boyfriend for 7 years before I broke up with him in December. It was a long distance relationship and it was making us both miserable so it was definitely the right thing to do. I was upset despite the fact it was my decision but I think the whole thing was made easier by the fact the relationship had probably been over for a long time. After a few months I decided to give the whole online dating thing a try since I hadn't been single since I was 19 and the whole scene seemed to have changed while I was with my ex. After a few rubbish dates I met a really nice guy and we were seeing each other for almost two months. Everything seemed to be going really well, we had lots of fun together and, as far as I was concerned, there were absolutely no problems. We didn't have a single disagreement or awkward conversation. He even arranged for us to spend my birthday together and got me a really nice present. After that day though his texts became a little less chatty and the next time he arranged to see me (on Tuesday) was to break up with me (apparently there was no spark which he finds very frustrating because he really likes me). I suppose my issue is that I feel absolutely gutted despite the fact that we weren't seeing each other very long. I don't feel like I can tell my friends and family how upset I am since we were only together for such a short period of time and they will think I'm being silly. I don't know if it's just because this is the first time I've experienced this in my adult life or if it's because I liked him more than I realised. I feel a really stupid for letting myself like someone and letting myself get hurt. I also really want to see him or speak to him but I know this is a really bad idea and probably not something he would want. I can't stop thinking about it and getting upset. I don't really know what I'm expected to get from posting this thread but I guess it even just helps to write it down since I don't feel I can say it out loud. Any advice will be gratefully received!
