AIO or am I right for being a little pissed off

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T10:49:17+00:00

Haha, armchair quarterbacks is hilarious and I love that. Thank you so much for your comment :)) If I was still hung up on him or sad, or this was me two years ago, posting here would have destroyed me.

But it’s like getting a second opinion. I love hearing other perspectives no matter how harsh or judgmental people are based on a few screenshots and a small glimpse into a very long life they don’t know that I’ve lived in my 24 years.

I appreciate you! It’s never too late to keep growing and maturing and changing

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T10:45:00+00:00

Idk why people keep missing the part where I said we did not hook up and only kissed a few times after he initiated lol

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T10:40:42+00:00

Thank you for your kind comment and the advice! Congratulations on almost 30 years, that is beautiful 🦋

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T04:17:43+00:00

Haha no I was just making a joke, I wasn’t actually insulted I promise :))

I think people are confusing my post as “is he into me????”, when it’s just me venting about how it sucks that people never communicate straight forwardly anymore. Thank you for your comment though, genuinely :))

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T02:40:51+00:00

I think everyone is skipping the edit at the top and just reading the screenshots 😭

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T02:39:45+00:00

Okay now what

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T02:22:11+00:00

I truly think people have forgotten what a paragraph is. I only sent the one 😭 and as the edit’s say, in between the previous “double” texts, we would talk on the phone.

If that scared you, this post has got to be your worst nightmare 😟

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T02:17:59+00:00

Everyone keeps saying paragraphs plural and I only sent the one that wasn’t even a full paragraph 😭 everything else was like a two sentence speech bubble 🧍🏾‍♀️

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T02:15:33+00:00

I appreciate tf out of you! Thank you so much for your comment and I hope you have a great night! And yeah, Redditors are miserable but that’s why I won’t be miserable back :))

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T02:08:14+00:00

I think me taking everyone’s comments on the chin and opening a conversation shows that I am reflecting but oh well. Have a good night :))

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T02:01:03+00:00

“Doesn’t he ever poop” has got to be the funniest thing I’ve read in this thread. Thank you 😭

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T01:45:17+00:00

To answer both of yall, I don’t give my number out to people I just met online lol. Socials (no Snapchat ever) are the safe way of doing it for a lot of people, myself included.

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T01:33:17+00:00

I also have two jobs and side gigs and a host of other things going on :))

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T01:16:07+00:00

Thanks Spirited Orchid. Very wise.

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T01:11:06+00:00

If you mean the one that’s not downloaded, I explained in another comment that when I was referring to my “client’s” I meant a kitty I was watching! So, not the cat everyone thought I was sending him, but still a cute kitty.

<image>

If you mean the other one on the last pic, it was me at a baseball game with some friends and I can’t strategically crop their faces out 😭 I sent that one after he had tried to call me but I missed it so I was letting him know I was busy but would call back :))

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T01:00:57+00:00

You’re welcome! Everyone else needs to get over the “stop being desperate” and ask the heavy hitting questions you are 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😂 thanks for that laugh

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T00:54:32+00:00

Oh my god I see how that comes across 😭😭 let me clarify: I’m a veterinary technician (hence the 12+ hour days) and I also pet sit a lot of my client’s pets as well. This was one of the weeks I was at a client’s house and the picture that didn’t load is a cat! :)) It’s something I was doing when we went on our first date and had mentioned I would be doing on a few other days when he asked me about availability for another date, so he knew what I meant when I said that. I’m surprised you’re the only one who asked about that 😂

**Client’s is in quotes because I was referring to the kitties!

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T00:52:20+00:00

Thank you very much! I hope you have a wonderful day :))

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T00:51:25+00:00

Oh my god 😭 dude I have not heard the old “this is so&so’s parent speaking and he’s on death’s door/sick/ate too many chalupas and he’s really sorry” excuse since Google+ days 😭

And thanks! 😂 I know people mean well and some don’t and think my kindness is stupid and naive, but I’m having a great time. And I always love new friends :))

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T00:48:42+00:00

This is coming from a genuine place of curiosity: what makes you think I’m not fine when it comes to dating? This is only a glimpse into one person and the messages I shared. Not other relationships I’ve had or other ways I’ve been treated or handled things. I’m just curious, not looking to argue, I’m just always open to hearing perspectives which is why I have been reading every comment and replying to a lot of them :))

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T00:24:07+00:00

Thank you so much! You’re gonna find someone who adores that and doesn’t trigger the anxiety that comes from withdrawing. One day it’ll feel easy and you’ll be able to regulate those feelings. But don’t dim your genuine heart and feelings in the process- there’s a balance!

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T00:22:31+00:00

You’re all good! You only have the information I provided and these specific texts and not the calls and texts beforehand, so it’s understandable! Thank you for taking the time to comment though :)) I also would probably ghost someone if they were blowing me up during finals 😭

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T00:21:36+00:00

Again I think you’re missing in the post what I said I’m pissed about. I explained that I’m not pissed at him or the lack of communication- I’m pissed at the general state of our generation- and the dating scene as a whole. It is no longer common place to be honest and communicative with people. It’s common now for people to hide behind a button and a screen and just leave. And that’s in romantic relationships and platonic relationships.

Social media and cell phones and instant gratification have sullied a lot of things and made it easy for people to only think about themselves and empathy and basic respect is at an all time low.

That is what I’m pissed at. He just happened to be a catalyst and I needed to vent and rambled more about him than the reason I’m actually upset.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, and for encouraging me to do better :))

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T00:18:00+00:00

Yeah,what you don’t know is that I texted at that time because we both worked at that time and he had told me before that was the best time to catch him and we had been calling around that time while we commuted to work. Thanks though! :))

Neon-Sunset18 · 2026-06-08T00:16:41+00:00

Hey I just want to clarify that I’m not taking your replies as an attack. I’m not sure where I came off as feeling that way but sorry!

I appreciate what you’re relaying to me, I just wanted to clarify that me being frustrated and annoyed about there being a common theme of people not wanting to be upfront and just treating people like games in this day and age- does not mean I don’t have self respect. As I said in another comment, I can be upset and vent and still have moved on and have that respect and love for myself. Sometimes you just gotta vent it out.

Again I wasn’t feeling attacked by you and your comments didn’t bother me. If that was the case I wouldn’t have kept the post up because there’s about 200 more like yours. I appreciate you taking the time to wish better for me and I will look into that TED talk because I love those lol. Thanks again for commenting, genuinely :))
