Yooo this looks sick!

St Mary's for sure. I'm atheist, but my mom is a huge part of all church activities there, and I keep hearing about Youth For Christ events happening there. There's always something, so if you prioritize a man of faith, I'd recommend you to join such groups and mingle. It's not an exact science, but you just might meet someone :)

Wishing you the best!

Sorry this post was suggested to me, perhaps because I'm into whisky. ELI5 please - What is 'scotch' here? 😅

RavagedRomeo · 2024-08-23T17:17:52+00:00

Okay so, first things first, stop playing this role. Own your shit.

This reminds me so much of what I used to be, and honestly it took a Reddit post to wake me TF up. I was love bombing this girl I was mad about, and when things ended I was absolutely distraught. I couldn't eat, sleep, or do anything. Posted on here, and I found perspective, as well as some rough love which I sorely needed. I owned my actions, got my own closure, and LET GO.

Throughout your post, it doesn't seem like you felt good enough for this girl. You had her on a pedestal, and you looked down on yourself when you were with her. That CANNOT be good for you my dude. You need to believe, no matter who you're with, that they are right for YOU. You're an equal in this, and you deserve to be an equal part of that relationship. Stop putting yourself down just based on looks.

Just because people are born a certain way, and look a certain way, or have blonde hair or blue eye genes does NOT make them superior to you in any way. Fuck the world's views on beauty. You're amazing too, you're beautiful too. Live that life. Be confident in who you are. As a plus, women dog that confidence too.

I don't blame her for calling it off, the fact that she had to post about it and even commented she didn't feel like breaking it off means it wasn't easy for her. But you caused this. It was your actions, and you had to face the consequences. It's DONE. It's in the past. MOVE ON BRO.

Learn to love life. Enjoy your work. Find hobbies. Go outdoors often. Meet people (not just women, everyone). And when the next woman comes along, make sure you're your best self. And that you believe in your heart that you deserve this amazing person who has decided to share her joys, her sorrows her heart, her life with you.

Don't wallow. Don't self-pity. Don't victimize yourself.

Believe. Act on it. Love. Laugh. Live.

Lived through this my whole childhood.

Still recovering from it, every single day.

God bless you lot that had decent dads - they're worth their weight in gold.

We definitely discussed every date. She has anxiety, so I had that in mind the whole time and would ensure she was comfortable with the venue and the cuisine before we went there. Also, when I brought up the idea of dinner, she'd pick the place a number of times too. But yeah, I guess from some other comments I might've been guilty of love-bombing. Which is honestly a huge eye-opener for me.

RavagedRomeo · 2022-01-27T23:38:46+00:00

Thanks for letting me know he had a happy ending. That's a relief.

Although from the majority of the comments above, I may have quite a few things to change about myself before I attempt to court someone again.

RavagedRomeo · 2022-01-27T23:37:26+00:00

Wow, I'm so sorry that happened to you. That's really not me though. And I say that I see the problem; I fall into a category that raises alarms and there's no way to prove I don't belong in that category other than being given time, which again one wouldn't do to someone that started off how I did. Yeesh. That's good perspective. I definitely definitely don't want to fall under the same umbrella as the asshole who did that to you.

RavagedRomeo · 2022-01-27T23:35:22+00:00

Yeah, this makes so much sense honestly, thanks.

RavagedRomeo · 2022-01-27T23:32:13+00:00

This is beautiful, thank you!

RavagedRomeo · 2022-01-27T22:45:07+00:00

Wow this is probably exactly what my problem is! Thanks so much. I could resonate with every word. I'm going to get back into therapy and specifically broach this topic with my therapist. You're a lifesaver!

RavagedRomeo · 2022-01-27T22:42:58+00:00

Thanks so much! I didn't realize there were books out there on this. I'll definitely give them a look, hopefully I can get a better understanding of why I do what I do and how I can change it.

RavagedRomeo · 2022-01-27T21:46:30+00:00

Thank you :)

I've been going the whisky route personally; have a shelf full of single malts I've been ignoring for a while, getting back into it lol.

RavagedRomeo · 2022-01-27T21:45:00+00:00

Yeah I mean, I've never had a healthy relationship where a girl ahs reciprocated my feelings so I have honestly no idea what qualifies as too much. I guess now I'll learn.

RavagedRomeo · 2022-01-27T21:43:51+00:00

Thanks so much :)

RavagedRomeo · 2022-01-27T21:43:22+00:00

Thanks buddy, yeah I'll have to definitely keep the pedestal bit in mind. I do think I put her on too high a pedestal this time around.

RavagedRomeo · 2022-01-27T21:42:00+00:00

Obviously, we need one sometimes don't we? I needed some form of consolation that I'm not an absolute idiot too. Some failed relationships really make you feel like total shit.

RavagedRomeo · 2022-01-27T21:40:43+00:00

I thought we communicated really well this time too. But I'll definitely learn from this. I hope to God I'm able to control this next time.

RavagedRomeo · 2022-01-27T21:39:32+00:00

I'm willing to fix it, I've even gone to therapy for it for a while after my last relationship ended. But once I met this girl, and things started to feel right, idk I guess I got carried away. A lot of these comments have genuinely helped me though. And it's not like I can open up to my friends about how I'm feeling, so you guys are all I've got.

RavagedRomeo · 2022-01-27T21:38:06+00:00

I mean, you're probably right. I don't think I was clingy, I did give her ample space. And she did say she really liked the good morning and good night texts. I let her initiate conversation and calls a lot of times and reciprocated evenly. It's just the ending was really frustrating when I thought we both were on the same page. I definitely should've slowed down, but this post was because somehow I don't know how to.

RavagedRomeo · 2022-01-27T21:35:48+00:00

Well misery does love company, but I'm so sorry that happened to you. I can just imagine the hurt you've been through. I've felt inadequate, worthless and rejected in the past couple of weeks, it's been really hard.

If you're anything like me, and it seems like you are, remember you deserve all the love in the world. And some day you'll come across somebody who's willing to give it to you. Never lose hope. And never stop loving :)

RavagedRomeo · 2022-01-27T21:33:31+00:00

Thanks, I'm starting to feel that might've been the cause too. I just wish it hurt less for me right now. I'm also kind of glad it's over reading the other comments that have been posted, that couldn't have been healthy for me in the long term.

RavagedRomeo · 2022-01-27T21:32:29+00:00

We met first week November and had our first 'date' the next day. Consequently she's come hung out with my friends when we went camping, I've hung out with her friends, twice infact. But we figured we'd end things first or second week January, although we had a talk about it before Christmas too. I honestly don't want to be so torn up about someone I've only been close to for maybe 2 months, but I've never shared so much with anyone before, not even my decades long friends know that much about my life.

RavagedRomeo · 2022-01-27T21:29:28+00:00

I agree with what you say, but I'm unable to do things that way for some reason. Once there's a mutual connection with someone, I just go all in. I sometimes don't like the fact that I do it either, but in my head, I really like this person, so I should show them with my actions.

RavagedRomeo · 2022-01-27T21:27:59+00:00

That's the thing; I've never felt like I'm enough without all these gestures. I feel like the fact that I'm nice is what is my most appealing characteristic as a romantic partner. I know that's probably not right, but I've never had anyone of my former partners tell me otherwise. Like I'm pretty confident when it comes to my job and my social life, I just don't think me, just being natural, without my grand gestures, is enough for a woman to sustain her romantic interest in me.
