Lonelystar Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 I have been broken up with my ex for about 5 months now and I have been through the emotional cycles of being sad, and then being okay, and being sad again. There has been other men who have asked me out on dates but I just don't feel connected or feel like going. I know maybe I should, but I'm not excited about meeting other men. I'm not completely over my ex but I am no longer extremely sad about it, and have been to live a normal life without him. I just don't know if it is weird that I am not interested in anyone. Eehh am I in a funk?
Porn_Guy Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 na...just chill for a few more months and you'll be ok
D-Lish Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 It took me five months to think about putting myself back out there again. I'm pretty much over my ex, but it took a while. We dated for a year, and I just wasn't ready to date again until recently. Just take your time. When you're ready- you'll just know it. I don't know how it happened for me, I just woke up one day and felt a lot better. Dating has been a pain in the ass. The games, the BS, the players... It's no wonder you're in no hurry to get involved in that! When you're ready, start off slow. Just remember- going on a date doesn't mean you are going to end up marrying that person! Just think of it as socializing. D
Porn_Guy Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Dating has been a pain in the ass. The games, the BS, the players... isn't that true? but still westerners make fun of the arranged marriage system. So they hate dating but don't want the alternative either.
shockandawed Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 So true PG, I am not so sure whether it is a certain time frame, or just when you meet someone you may be interested in. I have been broken up from my ex-fiance for nearly two months. I have casually dated the last couple of weeks. Online, setups, etc...like you, I was strictly going through the motions. I looked at it as just trying to get out and make a friend. Well, Friday I grudgingly go out to do it again, nearly called and cancelled. Anyhow, she turned out to be quite the date. We really clicked and it was a great evening. I am having many thoughts of the ex still but I just think if things were to start to work out with this new girl, I might could move along. Who knows...but I don't think it would hurt you to just go out and meet people. Make that the only objection.
Author Lonelystar Posted January 29, 2007 Author Posted January 29, 2007 Thanks everyone for the advice. I think I am going to wait a little more and then make an effort to see new people. School started for me so that is keeping me busy which is a really good thing. I just hope this funk goes away soon. I don't want to think about my ex every time another guy shows interest in me.
