DontBreakEven Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 I just need to vent. I am almost 5 months post BU ... About a month ago I started feeling better. I started feeling okay again and laughing and happy. I decided to dip my toe in the dating pool for a second just to see how it felt. To my surprised, I actually found someone really cool and it felt great. Only major problem was, she is 5 hours away, and we have completely opposite schedules. But we arranged to meet. The meeting went great, we had an amazing time. We kept talking afterwards but I could tell something started being off as soon as I left, so I asked, and she basically said that the reality of the situation is that we are both set in our careers and locales, and neither of us will ever move (which is probably true -- but she kinda just assumed it for me -- didn't really ask me). Anyway, I could tell I just needed to bow out at that point because the last thing I need is to get further in deep only to get hurt, and it looked like it was heading that way. Sucks, because I already am hurt. We talked everyday for a month, and we spent 2 really nice days/nights together when I went to visit. I wasn't the only one having a great time. I originally looked in other locales because the online dating within 100 miles of me is a cesspool ... but now I'm thinking that was just a foolish idea. Oh, and to top it off, when I went to check out another dating site today just to see if maybe there was ANYTHING else to distract me from this recent disappointment, I saw my ex on there. Oddly, I'm really kind of more upset with the most recent situation ... but none of it is a terribly amazing feeling. Just having a major setback and feeling awful.
