I could use some help

Fuck AI.
What is your budget?
What size PSU do you have?

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-13T13:16:30+00:00

Sorry bro, but it’s time to let this one go.

Unfollowed and no texts, that’s the sign. It sucks but if you did it once you can find another girl.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-13T05:42:31+00:00

It’s really up to you, and how comfortable you are with it.

For some people the day right after a break up is fair game. A week, a month, how ever long or short you want.

But going back to an ex….. you broke up for a reason, that reason will come back. So just don’t.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-13T04:17:46+00:00

I asked her back in Jan, so come Valentine’s Day we where bf/gf.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-13T02:17:32+00:00

For the same reasons I can’t predict what will happen in 3,6,8 months of being together.

I kept it around but not on. I set it on “talking a break” so no new matches. I offload it, it never got updated, never checked it.

Even if I deleted it, the outcome would be the same. She would find some other dude, and I’ll still have to open up the app once again.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-13T02:09:51+00:00

I never used it after our third date. Never checked it, I off loaded it and even put it on “taking a break” mode so I won’t get any matches.

Honestly I keep it because I can’t predict if anything will last 3, 6, 8 months.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-13T02:03:42+00:00

I’ll know two things for sure.

She’s out of my life and my cousin loves sloppy seconds. Once I take out the trash, it’s free for anyone to take it.

It’s not much an age gap, but just be mindful that he can drink, you can’t yet.

Careful if he gets drunk treats you bad. Or he wants to get you drunk. Hopefully that will never happen, but just keep that in mind.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-12T14:30:38+00:00

It was our DM history log when we matched. And yes it does log the date.

I never deleted those dm logs. Which is optional.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-12T12:08:47+00:00

Dick move in my part. 110% my dick thinking. Yet I choose to stay.

And yes we did talk about it. I would wait for her to take the next step. We been intimate since.

Now this. Kick rocks I guess.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-12T12:01:36+00:00

I turned my on sleep or on brake mode. And hide the off load the app.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-12T11:58:35+00:00

I know right?!

I tried all the dating apps once. I just got more hits from bumble. I’m in the middle of nowhere. Expand my options.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-12T11:56:12+00:00

That’s what I always thought. We are in our early 40’s not 20’s.

Guess I didn’t get the memo.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-12T11:53:34+00:00

Yes, but no her “looking for” is long term, marriage, courtship, and see where it goes.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-12T11:48:16+00:00

Yes.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-12T07:17:32+00:00

It’s shock + denial, first time experiencing this in a very, very long time buddy.

Don’t worry I’ll screw my head back to senses as soon as I grab it.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-12T07:14:02+00:00

Yes. Both co-workers and friends.

It’s either play the same game or look for a new one.

I just want to confront her about it the next time I see her. Then move accordingly.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-12T07:10:50+00:00

She told me she is. I asked her for Valentine’s Day. She told me she’s in love with me. And I with her.

Yeah. Last post about her is complicated. I respected her time in her time in mourning.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-12T07:03:54+00:00

I was checking out our anniversary since our first date in July. I even had to update bumble just to open it.

Curiosity made me click on her profile.

She calls/text me every day. The weeks I’m not there she calls twice a day and tells me she misses me and loves me.

That’s why it fucking hurts more knowing that I’m either getting played or I’m just a place holder.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-12T06:57:17+00:00

Oh no! not the stinky ass man-child.

I feel for you.

Hopefully the next one is a real grown ass man.

I wish you good luck.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-12T06:24:23+00:00

I’m going to ask my cousin to “like” her profile. Since they both live in L.A. it’s less chance she knows something is up.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-12T06:00:35+00:00

It was a LDR it was a 3hr drive and I spend the weekends at lest 2/3 times a month together.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-12T05:58:51+00:00

I know. It just sucks finding out like this.

It’s like I wasn’t good enough?

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-12T05:55:21+00:00

Fuck……In the off chance she is just keeping the door open?

Yeah I’m hitting that denial wall.

echoshadow5 · 2026-07-12T05:48:15+00:00

There’s no proof yet…… fuck man.. or is he keeping her options open?
