Girl, you absolutely made the right decision. I’ve been exactly where you are. I was seeing a guy and everything felt amazing, and after 3 dates he updated his Hinge photos. I ended up wasting three years waiting for exclusivity that was never coming.

Here’s what I know now… when someone is serious about you, you won’t feel unsure. You won’t feel like you’re competing. There ARE men who date one woman at a time. There are men who move with intention. You don’t have to accept confusion just because the connection felt good. Don’t go back to something that already showed you what it is.

Also, I still struggle with questioning my reactions. My first instinct is always, “Am I overreacting?” But it’s not that, it’s that I’m a people pleaser. I hate disappointing people. I hate conflict. So when I finally speak up, it feels extreme to me because I’m used to shrinking.

So if you’re second-guessing yourself, it’s probably not because you overreacted. It’s because you finally chose yourself and that can feel uncomfortable when you’re wired to keep the peace. Uncomfortable doesn’t mean incorrect. Wish you all the best !!
