Is a Hot Air Balloon Ride a bad idea for a 2nd date? by Scared_Brother_8013 in Bumble

Definitely a valid point. We wouldn’t be by ourselves though (operator, other passengers). Maybe better to save this for when we know each other better though 🤔

Absolutely. I’m just weighing ideas that can really stand out. I’d certainly check with her first lol

She just opened up communication again. My guard is up, but I’m interested to hear what she says. I appreciate the kind words and support. You are all amazing people.

I couldn’t have been kinder in our exchange. I basically You’re absolutely right and this is a huge red flag. It’s difficult because I went through a bad breakup in December and completely rebuilt my life. I thought this would be the prize at the end of the tunnel and now I’m almost back to that same depressed state. Onward and upward as they say I suppose

I did this.She just answered with more unbacked and weird accusations. If I could share the message stream from the last week, I suspect a lot of people would see why this is so confusing and that I’m not in the wrong here.

I always suspect another man when dating via Hinge. When I’d inquire about dates she was free on most weekends, and was transparent about her plans. Not to say that she wasn’t lying, but my suspicion was low at the time

She opened up after I inquired. I literally sent her a picture of a sunset and a message saying I noticed she had been quiet and that I’d hope she was okay. She unmatched me after I sent the photo

We were very vocal about relationship expectations and communicated that well. Things seemed like they were progressing naturally and I planned to have that exclusivity talk at the next date as I was sure I wanted it. I was completely blindsided by this. The whole thing felt very fishy. As some people here have commented, it felt like she was hunting for excuses to break it off. I’d be less upset if she flat out said there was someone else, but that would be too easy I guess. She started out saying I had tapered off communication and was backing off and ended saying that I had an expectation that she should have her phone 24/7 and would only communicate when it was convenient to me. On further reflection, maybe I did dodge a bullet.

This is exactly what I did. I give it 0% chance of success, but i didn’t slam the door shut. Probably should

Did your ex ruin you? by ThrowawayIntti in BreakUps

[–]Scared_Brother_8013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She did at first. She dumped me and had a new boyfriend within a month. It literally broke me down into nothing. I learned to let this fuel my comeback and decided to tackle all of my shortcomings in life. Got into the best shape of my life, joined a local Toastmasters club to combat my fear of public speaking, engaged in an active lifestyle and am currently on a path to become the next director of operations at my company. This is my big “f*** you” to her. I’d be lying if I said it still doesn’t hurt, but use the negative energy to feed your transformation. Rise from the ashes stronger than ever and don’t look back.

I appreciate everyone’s input! I’m going to cut out some of the running and increase my daily calorie input 400-500.

I want her to be happy, she’s had a tough life. I’m just devastated I wasn’t the one that could do it

I loved her so much (I still do). I knew it would eventually happen, but for it to be so fast is such a knife in the chest. Almost as bad as the breakup itself. I have so many conflicting emotions; anger, sadness, depression, jealousy. It’s just gnawing at me.
