foolinlove79 Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 For anyone on here who has moved on from their ex to a new partner how did you meet? Do you think there is any truth in that you will meet someone when you least expect to? Im feeling like i will never meet anyone i like again...
central Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I met people when I was looking, and open to meeting someone. I met my current partner via OLD.
JFReyes Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I met my ex on OLD and were together for 10 years. About a year after getting dumped I met my current girlfriend of 1 year on OLD and things are going great. I reckon one must put effort into finding a partner, luck alone might take a long time, if ever.
PegNosePete Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 OLD for me too. And no I don't believe you find it when you're least expect it. I believe you reap what you sow. 1
d0nnivain Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Although the saying is that you will meet somebody when you are looking, it means that you will meet somebody when you aren't desperate. I met DH at a business networking event a few months after I made a commitment to myself to really put myself out there & take steps to expand my social circle. I made a commitment to do at least one social thing per week, besides those things that I had always been doing like having dinner at my parents' club, attending my business group & hanging out with my friends. So I was actively looking for a relationship when I met him but it was from a place of peace, strength & confidence. I new I was bringing value to a relationship. I just needed to meet a quality person. Ironically when I 1st saw DH I though he was a player & I was OK with that because I hadn't had a truly sweep me off my feet romantic date in a while & I thought under those circumstances a player would provide that, NSA One of the reasons nobody good is coming into your life right now is that you are not ready yet. You are still heartbroken. You are still licking your wounds from your break up & you are not balanced enough inside your own heart & soul to be open to a quality new relationship. Take some more time to heal & explore who you are. When you find inner peace you will find love. 1
Mrin Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I met her via OLD (Match). Truth be told I probably went out on first dates with 30 women in my OLD career. Only half of that period would I say I was serious about finding a relationship. Of those 30 I probably "dated" 15 or so (multiple subsequent dates). Of those 15 I seriously dated maybe 7. I will say this - when I met Her I knew I had met someone so profoundly different and special that comparison with anyone I had ever dated in my entire life was silly and pointless. And I had been in relationships with some amazing women. I hear what you're saying - that you doubt you'll ever meet someone so special as your ex. All I can say is that it is a big big world out there and if you go forth embracing the possibility that someone truly amazing and profoundly different and special exists - you just might find him. 1
aloneinaz Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 It's such a common theme for someone fresh from a broken relationship to state "I'll never meet someone as great as the ex", especially if they were dumped. I met my now 2 year GF OLD after getting dumped by my BPD ex who despite how poorly she treated me, I really loved. I started dating a couple months after and had probably 10-12 dates with different woman. Some I dated a few times and others for a month. None of those woman where rocking my world so I kept having dates with new woman. This is when I met my GF.
