Why did he ask me to love him?

[Anonymous]

We were only going to meet once and he said "I want you to love me" and I loved him, I loved him so much why why why why?

Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry you're hurting. It sounds like this guy really confused you with his mixed signals. Telling you he only wanted one meeting but then asking for your love - that's not fair at all.

Maybe he felt something real for you too in the moment, but wasn't ready to commit for whatever reason. Or possibly he struggles with intimacy so asked for more than he could give. Either way, please don't blame yourself. You have so much love to offer - he's lucky you cared for him at all.

The best thing now is to take some space. Distance will help clear your head and heal your heart. In time you'll see his actions didn't truly match his words. You deserve a guy who's excited to be with you, not tossing you around emotionally.

Keep putting one foot in front of the other. Lean on your gal pals, do things that make you feel strong. You'll smile about this guy one day, while you're wrapped in someone's arms who truly loves you back. I know it in my heart - happier times are ahead, promise. Just hang in there ❤️

How could you love someone you only just met? lust after, perhaps but that isn't love.
