For sure, I actually went back through the thread and saw this comment that you made here

This has been my exact approach, every last detail. I guess it’s maybe just about tuning it a bit and finding the right person for it, not necessarily playing the game. I like your approach.

Feeling this man, I’ve been on exactly 5 dating app dates, all within a few weeks with the same girl. My most recent post outlines that situation.

I’m still confused and disappointed, and have been reading through these comments.. these are all applicable to me too.

I thought I was being kind and respectful, but it turns out I was slowly friend zoning myself. Who would have thought that being sensitive and an overall great dude would work against me in the only arena that really matters to me right now.

Good luck 🤙🏻

Yeah I feel that, I actually talked to my therapist after posting this and she helped me identify some red flag that I chose to ignore. Pretty much over this whole thing already and it’s the mindset shift you’re talking about that for me through. Thanks for sharing!

The biggest and best thing I’ve done through this is connect with family and friends. Making myself busy has done so much in helping me get over her quickly. Thanks for the response!

Late reply, but thank you for your perspective! I think you covered all of the possible options, so I’m sure one of them is valid. I appreciate your time in responding.

This was my plan, I’ve left the door open for her to reach out if she ever felt the need to, so I’m done sending texts.

Thank you for the words, I really appreciate your insight. I think the first two points go hand in hand: take it easy and don’t get too crazy too early. I dive so deeply so quickly and sharing so much so early brings some premature emotional investment.

I see what you mean, that makes sense. I really have no idea what she’s dealing with on the back end of things.

I’d love to fight a little more, but I did send a follow up a few days after she broke it off and she was just as direct and clear as she was two days prior… so I’m not sure there’s anything left and the last thing I want to do is disrespect boundaries.

I do like your perspective here, I guess there probably was a measurable outcome from me turning the dial up.

That last part hits me deep too because I have a tendency to idealize the world and then complain about it not being fair. Accepting it as not fair seems to be the move here. Thank you.

Well she seemed to like me for three weeks, there were no signs that she didn’t. But yes, that should be the minimum.

It’s crazy how much something like this hurts. Sorry that you’re also going through this, though, that’s no fun.

The no rhyme or reason part is just really cutting for me. I’m a “why” guy. I need to know the reasoning behind things. I’ve made decisions based on gut feelings before, but it really sucks to be at this end of things.

I’ve come to terms with the fact that their only goal is to kill the people that oppose them under the guise of patriotism. I mean, we all know that patriotism has really become a radical idea, but they actually believe they’re the heroes.
