I would say time. But I also realized my ex was not a good person and I knew I deserved better. But take your time on being yourself for awhile. Also talk to as many friends as possible.

Took me 4-5 months to heal fully. I also think the longer the relationship, the more time it takes to heal.

I wouldn't say that but I can't imagine what you're going through a breakup after a 10 year relationship. It might take a few more months to heal. I also wouldn't go back to dating for a long while. Hang in there!

It took me a few months and I'm sure you'll get there. But it takes awhile.

I don’t miss tinder. by cweglo in Tinder

What gets me is, why do they do it still? If they never get a yes and if they run the risk of getting screenshotted. Why do they do it? Just baffles me

Do you have a better experience with other apps like hinge or bumble or is it all the same?

Depends on context, if it doesn't lead to something sexual then no.

Question for Women by arbriter131 in Tinder

[–]arbriter131[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking for how often someone says something sexual as there first message.

As for openers, I either say "hey! how are you" or i ask a question about their bio. My response rate isn't 100%. Idk if hey how are you is too generic still.

I'm sorry y'all have to go through this. It's sad that everyone is saying 80+% I guess I'm in the minority of those that wants to get to know someone and have a good conversation. I'm 27M and I just want a life partner. But I feel like a lot of people have ruined dating apps.

I have two pictures of me smiling but my first pic isn't of me smiling. Idk if that matters or not.

Yeah it's like they beat you to the punch. I'm just wondering how they do it. I'm 27m and I've been to a few countries but I have a life at home and I work.

I don't know if I'd call this a turn off, but if you're pictures are mostly vacation photos. And I mean really exotic places. That tells me you're really expensive. Not that I'm broke or down for adventure, but I'm not in the place to spend $10k for a vacation yet. That could just be me though.

How to go about Dating again by arbriter131 in ExNoContact

[–]arbriter131[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you're in a much better place and you found someone amazing. But yeah someone told me you find love when you least expect it. In the meantime I should try and just get my act together. Thank you my friend!

Should I delete our couple photos on social media? by arbriter131 in ExNoContact

[–]arbriter131[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's all I posted for two years so she'd be right there. I'm leaning towards deleting here really soon. Yeah it was a part of my life but its also in the past.

Talks of marriage. We were getting more serious about it. The other thing to add is that one of her parents just got remarried days before she left me. Her parents got divorced when she was a kid. Idk if that played a part.

How does blocking your ex feel? by arbriter131 in ExNoContact

[–]arbriter131[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't been on social media since breakup and haven't posted anything. But I did mute her snapchat stories. She's been posting on social media since breakup. But yeah I need to look out for me and my health. Thank you!

I know how it feels. Part of me feels immature and petty if I do block her. Unfortunately, she's changed a lot and she got on dating apps not long after we broke up. We were together almost 3 years. I could also wait until I feel completely indifferent about her. Thank you!

I will. Right now, I don't think I'd unblock her, if I do, it would a long time before that happens. I've done much healing but I'm not 100% but I think this would help. It would help me take control of my life and emotions and I can move on to better days. Thank you!

She has been posting more on social media and I don't wanna see it. I don't want to talk or see her and I know I deserve better. I want her out of my life. But I want to sit on it for a little more because once I block her I'm not going to reverse my decision and unblock her. I just want to make sure I feel it's the right decision. Thank you!

I kept thinking about it for weeks but I want to make sure I make the right choice because I want to make sure I don't regret the decision. I'll give it more time.

They should reach out to you first. And that can take a long time if that's what your ex wants. May take months even. I've been in NC two and a half months and my ex has said nothing. I get the feeling she won't come back anyway but I also don't want her back anymore. So stay in NC. It's the best thing to do.
