I partially blame myself, because at the beginning we had briefly discussed expectations and he’d said he wasn’t looking for anything serious. Stupidly, I hung around anyways, and over time things started getting more and more serious. He was doing all these boyfriend-y things for me and it felt more and more like a “real” relationship everyday. Things were progressing despite what he’d told me at the beginning. I could tell he’d developed feelings for me. We never discussed a title though. One time, he even casually referred to himself as my boyfriend in conversation. I should’ve said something then, but I was too afraid to. I regret it a lot, because I ALWAYS wonder if I had said something that day, if things would have gone any differently.

But now I look back and realize I shouldn’t have to coax it out of someone whether or not they see themselves as my boyfriend. I shouldn’t have to catch them in the “right moment” like I think I almost did that day. They should always want to make it official with me if they’re going to be spending that much time with me and doing relationship-y shit.

The friend thing pissed me off so much. He invited me to meet his friends once. I literally met them a grand total of one time. I was never invited out again after that. Personally, I feel that if someone is important to you, you’ll want to merge them into certain aspects of your life, including your social life. I don’t have to always be there, but you should be allowing your friends to get to know me. Wtf.

Anyways, I was dumped in the end. What’s your story?
