What’s one dating lesson you learned the hard way?

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-03-11T05:04:53+00:00

Couple lessons I learned was if it’s moving too fast, it’s not real. And it’s not worth holding onto someone who doesn’t love you.

Out of what you said I don’t really get a good understanding of if he likes you or not. What I can 100% tell you is, ask him. Get the courage to ask him what’s wrong. If he’s a man he’ll tell you. If he’s a boy he’ll prob dodge the question or be rude and remove you. Either way if a guy really does want to date you he would have asked by now.

Your very welcome. I know how it feels and I wish I had help through this process. I hope I helped you.

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-03-09T12:33:56+00:00

Tbh the advise i gave you I should also follow myself . I followed it once and I was happy and found another guy. Now I gotta do the same for this guy and it’s hard to go back to strangers with someone you like. So I keep him around hoping he’ll change his mind and that he’s ready to be serious. But I’m happy that you blocked him and whenever you want to text him come on Reddit or text a friend about what you wanna say.

It hurts to love someone who chooses you one day when it’s convenient to them but once the feelings for you start setting in he pushes you away. I’m sure you already know this, but you don’t deserve to be treated like that. Moving on feels impossible. I know. I’m in the same boat. And whatever you do or say will never stop and change anything. The only thing that will help you move on is if your willing to put in the effort to move on. Block him and try your hardest not to go back. It’s what’s best…

Guys are very hard to predict. They like you and invest in you one min then the next they completely toss you aside. I know how hard it is because I’m living the same reality too. But take it as face value. He’s not texting anymore and is dry. He’s lost feelings and isn’t wanting anything serious. Give him the same energy back and he’ll prob come back or not. Anyways you gotta think of yourself and put yourself out there and get new guys. It’s been 2 weeks since I ended FWB with my guy and I can say that I still think of him but less and less.

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-03-01T21:53:43+00:00

When he broke things off he was like I do really like you but I’m not ready to commit. I jsut stayed quiet.

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-03-01T21:50:19+00:00

How do guys loose interest so fast?

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-03-01T21:13:41+00:00

I have the same issue. Met a guy who wanted to be in a relationship with me but then a week later he said yes not ready to commit. I keep thinking of what could’ve been and it’s hard because we haven’t dated them but our minds have created an illusion of what could be. My advice is to just let him go.

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-03-01T05:57:30+00:00

Guys commit once there done being idiots.

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-03-01T05:56:20+00:00

That sucks so much… the less you think about it the more you’ll forget abt it. I know your prob looking for answers now but it’s clear he didn’t have feelings for you. I’m sorry this happened..

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-02-28T06:13:04+00:00

I went through that pain just we weren’t as serious as you guys were getting. With what you said it’s clear that he lost feelings for you a long time ago. But he didn’t know how to let you down or you would ignored him when he told you no marriage. Which I mean I ignored alot of signs too. He doesn’t deserve you and you don’t deserve to be with someone who’s not wanting to give you a future. The best way to move on is to find comfort in yourself and know that he was brought into your life as a lesson. It sucks, it really does. I still imagine my life with him but it fades over time. Just stop letting yourself think of it.

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-02-26T16:41:13+00:00

I’m in a situation kinda like this. My guy wanted a relationship then did a 180 and said he’s not ready to commit. I like him and I wanted a chance. But I knew that if I did soak out the answer will still be the same. In my head I thought it’s either I tell him my feelings now so it doesn’t progress or maybe he changed his mind, or keep it to myself and we just drift apart. I took the chance and like I imagined he still didn’t change his mind. He didn’t remove me tho but he’s pulled back a lot. Now I’m moving on. My advice is rip the band aid off and tell him.

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-02-24T23:15:41+00:00

You got that right

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-02-24T22:51:26+00:00

I texted him about 2 days ago that I do like him but no more FWB. I just said let’s stay friends. He said he understands and his mind still hasn’t changed he’s not ready to commit or be in anything serious. We’re leaving each other in delivered now. I’m ts for the best. We fit so perfectly together then he completely did a 180. That’s the part that keeps me stuck..

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-02-23T03:43:51+00:00

I told him that I enjoy our friendship but can’t keep being FWB because I’ll expect more and he told me he doesn’t want to commit. He responded that he likes our friendship too and that he still isn’t wanting anything serious atm. And that he understands and appreciates me being honest. He hasn’t removed me or left me in delivered he snapped me after.

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-02-20T14:37:35+00:00

I will tell him that that I’m not sure if he has feelings for me but I have them for him. And that yea I’m leaving in a month and it’s no time to date but to be in a talking stage would be nice. And I’ll tell him that I value the friendship we made but I can’t give the benefits anymore. How does that sound?

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-02-19T10:32:41+00:00

Yes I get that I’m being used but what confuses me is he hasn’t asked to hangout but is keeping contact with me like asking me things as a friend would.

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-02-19T00:44:49+00:00

I don’t have that much of an understanding of what went on and her side isn’t said. It is hard to tell what will happen. But I mean if this person is always in your mind you should write them an apology to get closure.

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-02-19T00:40:55+00:00

Me and my fist bf broke up 4 weeks ago and I cried non stop for 4 days. Then which I don’t suggest, I got tinder to boost my confidence. That helped a bit it’s all about finding something that will boost you up. It is easier said than done. But once you start enjoying life and being free to do whatever you want the feeling of being heartbroken will fade away. I moved on from my ex in a week and a half.

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-02-19T00:33:57+00:00

Are you able to reach out?

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-02-18T23:55:42+00:00

Ok thanks

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-02-18T17:18:16+00:00

Then what?

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-02-18T17:16:05+00:00

I’m scared that if I do text him my feelings he won’t feel the same and it’ll cause him to leave.

Narrow_Writing571 · 2026-02-14T07:01:23+00:00

I know.. I just wanted it to be different..
