Why would this guy turn me down for friends with benefits after all and even get on tinder if he’s not ready?

[Anonymous]

This guy I was talking to a couple of days ago matched with me through tinder and we were having some easy conversations about where we are at in our lives and he told me he got out of a 2 year relationship not too long ago so he wasn’t looking for anything serious probably just something fun and casual and I said the same but I’ve been single for a year and don’t wanna rush into a whole new relationship and we agreed to try friends with benefits with boundaries then yesterday he switched off and said”I’ve been thinking &got lost in my thoughts to conclude I don’t think I am ready for this in my life & can’t do this”and I felt devastated because I got my hopes up and he just let me down.. before you say anything don’t even dare say finding a relationship is a piece of cake because I can’t even find something like this. Why do people lie so much?

It means what he says, or he realized he's not interested in you. Either way best not to bother him and try to pursuade him otherwise, move on.

Spoiler alert: it means he's not interested in you. Relationships are not easy to find you are 100% accurate; so when potentially the right person comes along there's no way anyone is going to turn that down. Move on.

He didn't lie, he changed his mind. Big difference.

He just got out of a 2 year relationship. You’ve been single for a whole year. You are in different places so try to understand

He's a clown who doesn't know what he wants, so move on.

But why you're building hope? Be realistic.
