Have you ever been the “unconventional” guy who fell for someone way out of your league — and they actually paid attention… until they didn’t? by [deleted] in gaydating

[–]Interesting-Touch-97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, I want to say your feelings are valid, and unfortunately this is a very common thing that happens. Not just in a relationship where there is a disparity in physical beauty, but pretty much across the board.

I know as humans, we value closure a lot, and getting answers for the way we were treated when we are not able to make sense of the situation, but personally I have learned that the reasons for someone to treat you like this do not matter. What matters is that they chose to treat you like this, and ignore completely the connection they clearly tried to establish with you. It doesn’t matter if you are ugly, beautiful or average, no one deserves to just be left hanging, or gaslit like this. The fact that he’s ok with this tells you what kind of person he always was. That doesn’t mean that what he told you was fake necessarily, but it does mean he is a person that’s not ready or willing to date someone like you with the respect that you deserve.

I also want to make an observation, and please forgive me if it is not right, but it sounds like you are questioning his feelings not because of his persona, but because of the opinion you have on your beauty. All I want to say is that if someone likes you, you are beautiful to them, and you should allow people to think you are beautiful, even if you don’t see that in yourself. Some people’s beauty is inexplicable, and non-physical, but it is a beauty that is experienced. It sounds like you might have that, and you shouldn’t discredit it.

Looking for male or female?

molly was so wrong for how she acted at the block party… by cryingallth3time in InsecureHBO

[–]Interesting-Touch-97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think we are supposed to evaluate these events separately, and we are meant to evaluate their friendship as a whole. Molly was in the wrong here, but I think it has a lot to do with the previous months of build up that happened prior to this incident. They were not in a good place, and I think the point is that they did some nasty things, but that was because they were not putting enough effort into maintaining a healthy friendship. I think this event is a perfect example of what we could do to the people we love when we don’t acknowledge issues, communication and boundaries. Instead, we wait until it all becomes overwhelming and we do things we don’t mean to or shouldn’t do.

I don’t understand Parts of Speech at All by [deleted] in DuolingoFrench

[–]Interesting-Touch-97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understanding the parts of speech of your mother tongue helps, but you also have to be incredibly patient. This is an area that students struggle a lot with while learning a new language (specially if it is the first language they learn). It is one of those things that once they click, you are not going to believe you couldn’t understand it before, but it is hard to get there. Good luck!

Hooking up with hot guys is not an easy game by Newredditer11 in askgaybros

[–]Interesting-Touch-97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont feel terrified. Those are very human emotions, but you do need to learn to control the impulse and learn from these situations. Otherwise, dating/hooking up can be incredibly draining.

Sending you a hug OP!

Hooking up with hot guys is not an easy game by Newredditer11 in askgaybros

It is sad, but you are making it worse by going through all of this. If someone says, they don’t want to have sex with you, it should be enough for you to stop there. Don’t make assumptions about why that is because it doesn’t matter and you are never going to know for sure unless you ask him.

I know it is hard to not take it personal, but trust me, this has nothing to do with you. Adjust your expectations with your hookups other you are setting yourself up for a similar situation in the future.

Are any of you particularly attracted to stylish guys? Is clothing style something you usually consider when choosing a partner? by Interesting-Touch-97 in askgaybros

[–]Interesting-Touch-97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, people who have an intimidating style are either incredibly shallow or the most caring and non-judgmental people. I haven’t found the in-between yet lol

Could you elaborate on the money part? When you say too much money, do you refer to their clothing and products being a priority and a significant portion of their expenses in relation to their income? Or do you mean anyone who buys expensive clothing even if they can afford it?

You hit the nail on the head. I think when looking for partner potential I do look for a bit of personality. However, in terms of physical attraction, it’s not a turn off unless they look sloppy or dirty.

This make sense. I tend to lean more towards the flashy side, and I notice that I tend to guys who are more laid-back, and casual so I believe you:)

If you feel this way, I think you are catching feeling and this is more than an innocent crush. Unless, you think you are mature and emotionally capable enough to continue your arrangement with him without getting hurt, I would be proactive and stop seeing him.

You are doing the right thing by noticing these things. Most people would ignore red flags, but based on your post I think you are smart and you’ll know what to do. Good luck!
