shakenbake9 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Hey all--- I know there is probably this very thread somewhere in here, but thought I'd start a new one and tell you my dating history. It has been a history of let down. I graduated college a few years ago and did not date anyone until my last year of college. I moved a few hours away and we decided to do the long distance thing (mistake if you both don't put in work). He ended up breaking up with me via txt message. He of course came back (a year later, too late buddy). I then didn't feel the need to date and focus on my work/master's program. My family and friends were all telling me to start online dating. I was very hesitant, but I did it. I went on MANY dates, good experiences overall. Some were just down right hilarious (one guy refused to pay for my two beers, alriiiiight buddy). I met one guy and went out on a few dates and texted/talked all the time. Then one day said he met someone else (mind ****). I gave up for about a month after that, then decided to get back on the site. Then I met one great guy (that's what we all think isn't it?). We hung out CONSTANTLY---literally 5 out of 7 days of the week. It was so easy hanging out. He met my parents, things were going great. Then he got a job offer to move a few states away. He went from telling me "I really like you" multiple times a day to cold-hearted. He all the sudden needed space. Then began talking to me again and wanted to hangout.Then dumped me over dinner one day (about two weeks later)---and insulted a family member as well. I could not have been more hurt. So he tells me that he needs to focus on himself right now and that it takes awhile to develop "true/strong feelings" and they weren't there. Then WHY continue to lead me on and ask to do things together??? What I want to know is why does this keep happening? I have my "****" together, great family, always caring, honest, etc., blah, blah. I seem to always get my heart broken and not see this coming.
Weallwalkthelongroad Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I would also like to know the answer to this question. I don't date much because I usually end up heart broken. I try to protect and look out for myself but it never works. I can honestly say I have no idea how to make a relationship work.

Hi Weallwalkthelongroad, I read your story and I can sense the disappointment you feel. Try going on this dates with a different attitude, because you go on them as if you know that they will never work. Never give up, you are a nice person and your other half is waiting for you just around the corner.

Never give up, you are a nice person and your other half is waiting for you just around the corner. The disappointment you sense is definitely there. I really liked this one and I'm still not sure what went wrong. I've accepted that this one wasn't right and ultimately it was me that cut off contact with her. I don't want someone that only wants to be with me when it is convenient for them. I also don't need someone who verbally abuses me just to make themselves feel better. I like to believe that someone else is waiting out there for me but the constant heart break wears on you after a while.
