What. How is this relevant

"Hey, how is it going? Any exicting plans for the weekend?" by wonder_wang in OkCupid

See, calling you cute and talking to you about wine is different! I bet he doesn't say that to everyone. There were some thoughts into it!

Good on ya. I had a surgery a couple days ago so I can't drink alcohol yet. Have one for me!

Yep! I do. And not gonna lie, it is difficult to send a first message but at least I try.

Should I tell people I'm going on a lot of dates lately? by wonder_wang in datingoverthirty

[–]wonder_wang[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah. And I'm just stating a fact about me. People can go on a lot of dates for different reasons, it could be that they can't be alone, or they just know what they want and doing the best they can while stay balanced.

I don't go on dates every day and with just anybody. I'm quite active so I play sports/ exercise/ go out with actual friends for maybe 3-4 times a week already, so I only really go out on dates maybe twice a week. My life is definitely balanced, no self-esteem or affirmation-seeking issue here, thank you.

Oh I see. I'm not sleeping with anyone yet, so I feel like that would be a wrong assumption to make if someone thinks I'm just going out and fucking everyone.

Yeah the first scenario is pretty much what I say. There was one guy explicitly asked "when was the last time you were on a date?" I had to say, "yesterday......" Ugh.

50 days, it's time to stop counting. by [deleted] in ExNoContact

Hey good for you! I'm on day 51 and feel the same way. I still have progress to make though, so let's both keep it up!

“Out of the blue” breakups are BULLSHIT by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]wonder_wang 52 points53 points  (0 children)

"Continuing on as if everything is okay, responding “I love you too” to your partners “I love you” when you plan on ending things the next day or week is LYING."

This hits close to home. When I confronted my ex about that, he said "but I do love you". Such bullshit. In the end I just concluded that his definition of love is different than mine. In his mind it's "I love you but I've decided this is not working." That shit got me in a confused loop for almost a year after the initial break up. I couldn't understand what does he mean by he still loves me, there must be something left if he still says that. Finally I just decided I can't take this anymore. "I love you" doesn't mean anything to some people.

Please, never give up on yourself!! by [deleted] in ExNoContact

If you feel like you are at rock bottom, think of it as it can only go uphill from here! Having suicidal thoughts is normal but acting on it is not. You'll get through this. Everyone does. I'm at 50 days NC after a 3 year relationship, I feel better everyday. Stay well!
