How do I move on?

Question

I'm 18 years old, and I had been in a relationship for a month with a guy I met online. Everything was going well, but yesterday he ghosted me. Yes, it's my fault; I shouldn't have trusted him. People can easily lie on the internet. Maybe he had a girlfriend, I don't know. But anyway, how can I forget him? How can I move on?, I feel so bad..

It’s not your fault, trust is impt to have in a relationship. Don’t shame or guilt yourself due to his poor behaviors… which is not in your control. I’m sorry that happened. No one deserves to be ghosted in a relationship rather it’s virtual or not… everyone grieves differently, the first thing is recognizing that you shouldn’t blame yourself and we can’t assume what happened since it can be anything…. Unless you have hints on what it could be, but the worst thing is assuming the worst and hurting yourself that way. I know it’s easy to do it, but taking this time to heal and learning to accept it didn’t work out but you tried on your part.

What possible difference does it make? At your age, guys you can attract are dime a dozen. Just go up to any young guy that is not out of your league, smile, say hi, and start talking to him. Then, if he is not taken, ask, "Will you be my boyfriend." He will probably accept and then you can forget about the other guy.

You live and you learn, that's it. Don't make the same mistake again and ensure you make people earn your trust.

I know you're very young and everything is fast and needs to be quick but time is the ultimate tester of people and their intentions. Be more selective in the future. I'm sure you feel like crap but this is a learning opportunity for you in relationships and in who you trust.

U did nothing wrong except trust him. As u know IRL is a way better way to be in any relationship. Was he ur age also (or at least what age did he say he was?)

Were you two doing video chat or sexting at all?
