Search Results: getting let down

I read it as a let down which when he commented he'd gone out with simple minded overly attractive cheap & sleazy women - one he even called a horror story himself - before is a rather shitty insult.

The thing is, is we had engaging interesting conversation before the date. And I am not unattractive - that is something many people have said. Yes I put on some weight due to Covid but I blatantly told the guy on our date I'm working to loose it, even spending 3 hours each time at gym various times in the week.

If not interested just fucking say so. His text >...

Good morning, I hope you had a nice weekend with some rest and relaxation. I have been innundated with classes the last couple of days.

I also wanted to share X how I’ve been feeling on a different level. I am enjoying getting to know you, what brings you happiness, what drives you and how you add happiness in to the world of others. You are a remarkable person.

I owe it to you and myself to share I’m not certain I feel connected across all levels in regards to compatibility.

These are never comfortable moments to share with someone but I have to communicate this to you and be transparent on where I’m at. I hope you can appreciate this honesty as I would never want to be hurtful by not sharing these feelings.

For context, I'm 17F, and a Senior in high school. My bus gets there pretty early, about 5 minutes before the others do. A while back, I met a guy. Let's call him Ryan (17M). And once he arrives at school, he always comes and sits down next to me on the stairs. For the last two or so months, he's been getting really close to me. And I don't know if he's leading me on, or whether or not he likes me. So, I'm going to list 3-4 things, and hopefully, I can get some advice on that.

• 1: At an assembly a few weeks ago, he was just sitting there, looking into my eyes, not saying anything. And then one of my friends suggests he should sit and turn around so he could see, and he came up and sat next to me, and was leaning into me the entire assembly, showing me stuff on his phone.
• 2: A week + 1/2 ago, I carried a baggy red overcoat to school, and I had set it down on the stairs. We talked normally, and when we went to get up, he grabbed it, took off his hoodie, and put it on. I wore his, and he wore mine, for the day. He returned my overcoat back to me but didn't want to take his hoodie back, so I still have it.
• 3: About 2 days ago, he took my hand and was comparing his hand's size to mine. (mine is significantly smaller.) He turned my wrist over, and took the bracelet that I was wearing, off. Then again, he wore it for the whole day and then gave it back.
• 4: Yesterday, we were sitting, and he asked to play the game I was playing. I handed him my phone, and he was just playing. I was talking with someone, and was just letting him mindlessly play. He poked my side, told me it had turned off, and went to hand me the phone. Since I was busy I just told him the code. (a mistake I know.) My other friend left, and I looked over and he was just mindlessly scrolling through my phone, going through my photos and apps. (I had a few photos of him in my phone, which he smiled at.)

And here we are. Advice?

I (24) have known my ex (29) for 2 years now we dated for 8 months and moved in together we ended our relationship 3 months ago because we argued too much. when we broke up he started seeing his ex again recently he asked me to work on our relationship again i told him i would have to think about it 2 weeks later we sat down and had a conversation about what we both should expect in the future so i could tell him if i wanted to continue the relationship or not eventually it turned into a argument so i blurted out and said we should just be friends. the next day we had another conversation and he told me he's not where he wants to be in life and just wants to be friends i told him i felt like he tried to start an argument because he knew i was going to make my mind up that day.

i have been having a hard time meeting new people i thought i was over my feelings for him so last week i asked him to be my friends with benefits for a little while and now i have feelings for him again we have been getting along very well lately should i tell him how i feel and ask him to continue our relationship or should i just let it go and end the friends with benefits since he told me a few weeks ago he doesn't want a relationship anymore?
