(Reasons We're Probably Not) Dating Or In A Relationship Thread NSFW • Page 277

The story gets weirder, a friend just sent me a photo of me and this girl together a few years ago.

 

so are you actually talking to her or what

 

No. I sent her a message, she replied, I replied to that, and that's all.
A friend of mine works in the same office as her, and apparently she's a bit of a knob, so I'm not particularly bothered. It's just a pretty funny scenario.

 

The idea of having to start over and try to date other people again is absolutely terrifying and it's been stressing me out lately

 

Damn, so I take it you guys broke up then? Also, I totally agree. I was ready to settle down with my ex tbh, no doubt in my mind. The thought of like....meeting someone and then having to meet their family and all that bullshit...sounds exhausting

 

Yeah, I moved all of my stuff back home recently, and she hasn't talked to me in a few days now. I really didn't think I'd have to go through the whole process again, and it's extremely intimidating to think about.

 

I went through this almost two years ago now and I'm still wading through all of it. Best advice is just take care of yourself right now. It's gonna be hella lonely and fucking depressing for a while, but you'll get through it. Now is the perfect time to pick up a hobby or join a club, organization, rec league in your city. Pick up something that keeps you active and lets you interact with other people. You'll find someone again, I wouldn't be worrying about it right now

 

Things have been going super great with this girl i've been seeing for about a month except for her incredibly childish and abusive ex. She's blocked him on everything and last night he passive aggressively liked and unliked one of my instagram posts. I've never met this dude but he seems like a manipulative sociopath and i have no idea how to handle this situation.

 

The thing which is harder to see when it all breaks down is that all of those things you're talking about develop gradually. Right now is going to be really shitty, but you don't need to be intimidated by meeting someone new and doing it all again, because it will just roll along naturally. You shouldn't think of where you were as one step. it's culmination of many smaller ones.

I second the idea of looking after yourself and doing some things just for you. It really does help.

 

My date last night went really well (ended up drinking cider in a boat). Although it's strange being out during the week in such a studenty town. It gets past 11 and you suddenly feel ancient.

Fun part is, that we were hoping to do something tomorrow too, but her work has sort of scuppered us going out again, so I'm going to collect her from the station and we're going to just hang out and watch films or similar. Might be doing something over the weekend too if everything falls into place, so I'm rather happy right now.

 

I really appreciate the kind words and advice. I'm going to start jogging tonight to help get my mind off of things. Part of me knows that it's better we aren't together anymore, but it's still extremely difficult. I've been seeing my friends a lot the past few weeks to help out, and it's been nice. Small steps, but I know I'll be okay.

 

what hair product do you use?

 

Seeing that she's already hung out with two of her exes since we broke up really hurts. Stupid to get bummed about, but here I am.

I'm sorry for bringing this thread down

 

Do you have her on social media or how do you know that? If you do, remove her/block her until after you've moved on if you even add her back at all.

Absolutely no reason to apologize, this is exactly what this thread is for.

 

Girl I met over tinder came over tonight. Expected to mainly just hang out and maybe hook up a little, but we really connected in a way I haven't with anyone in a while. I don't see it becoming anything serious but idk, I just felt really good right now

 

I'm not sure if this is a serious question or not...

 

Yeah, I still do. The plan was for us to still stay friends, which had been going decently up until this week. I probably should remove her for now until I'm better.

 

Haha, no I was serious. I have something now that is just okay, but everything I switch to is horrible and doesn't keep my hair up like yours. They just end up loose throughout the day.

 

I've been using this recently and it's great.
I tend to find though, that whatever you're using, if you use a bit more than you feel you should, work it through your hair, then work some water through it and then use a hair dryer to dry it all, it all seems to stay in place.

 

I'll try that second part you mentioned first. I currently use this, seems to work well, but by 5PM it seems to lose its hold.

 

So, things are moving very quickly now. Last night was pretty amazing, but it turns out that we've both been invited out for drinks by a third party (they didn't know that we'd started to go on dates) tonight, so we get to see each other again. On top of that, we're meeting up with some people tomorrow to dress up as zombies and walk through the city.

I'm a bit shocked, firstly to have met someone I have real chemistry with, but also that it's rolling along quite like this.

 

I've lived apart from my ex for almost 3 weeks now but kept in semi contact and saw them last weekend for a Halloween party. Last night she texts me and asks if I'd wanna go to dinner tonight. To say I'm over analyzing would be an understatement.

 

last night my girlfriend went to cuddle me in the middle of the night and I responded with "hey there, Delilah." Her name is kelly

 

I hope you just started singing Plain White Tee's. Did you date a Delilah before? Where did that even come from?

 

I was asleep so I have no clue if i sang it to her or just said it. I found out I did this through text lol. I'm a very active sleeper so shes had worse. never dated a delilah or have even heard the song recently
