My therapist said I’m not emotionally ready for a relationship with anyone I don’t know very well, after having had a stalker recently. There are some really nice guys I’ve been talking to, but the timing is off. Should I explain, or just block them, or give them the option of starting as friends?

lol same just tempted to block this really clingy guy. He’s nice and everything just not my type

No one deserves or needs an explanation. Ur life choices are based on your comforts.

It always better to explain then just ghosting them

Explaining is good. Ghosting just looks weird or coldhearted.

Explaining would be the mature thing to do. You should ABSOLUTELY STOP ALL DATING until you get clear. If you don't, you are asking for hell on earth...

Yes, I think you should explain your situation to them.

If you explain, it is not ghosting. Please explain

It wouldn’t be a ghosting if you explained beforehand lol

Why bother? It will never be enough explanation. Thats why I ghost.

If you explain then you wouldn't be ghosting.

Should I explain, before ghosting them? (Page 2)

why does a 30-35 year old woman need everyone to tell her what to do, therapists and now asking strangers on the internet what to do. grow up and be a big girl and make choices for yourself and stop putting it on everyone else to decide for you, you aren't 13.

  Ah, the wisdom of youth! There’s no such thing as a stupid question and the older people get, the more they realise that the less they know.

I think it's rude to simply ghost people.

"This isn't working for me, and it's definitely me and my immaturity, not you" is more respectful and kinder.

  It’s not my immaturity, it’s trauma.

  How would you know when you haven’t seen my picture? It’s not about looks, it’s about mental illness and control. But you’re right, I’m not pretty. I’m beautiful 😊👍
