How do I ger over it? How do I stop blaming myself?

Anonymous

Last year I rejected a guy because he didn’t fit my life and I chose another guy instead of him, but I regretted it, I felt that I chose the wrong guy. Both were kind and nice, but with the guy I chose we had nothing in common.
This year I asked out the guy I rejected. We went on a date, he asked why I changed my mind and I told him the truth. He rejected me because he felt like a backup plan. And now he has a girlfriend and I’m so jealous. I ruminate all the day what I should have done different in the past. I feel myfelf guilty for choosing the guy based on the location not the interests. And I feel bad because I didn’t give the guy I rejected a real chance last year, only 2 dates. And I feel bad because I told him the whole truth. He also said that it’s my fault, because he was texting me in February and in the beginning of March he agreed dating me again, and I asked 2 weeks ago why he changed his mind, and he said: “I didn’t mean a relationship, you ruined that part.” And since yesterday he has a girlfriend. I didn’t see him as a backup plan, my life changed and now he could have fit in. But he didn’t understand my point of view. And now I feel that I rejected the perfect guy and I’ll never find anyone like him again.
