Search Results: boyfriend goes out with other girls

I'm a 23F, about to be 24, still in college. Though I've been asked out before, not by the right guys, I'd never had a first date. I never had a boyfriend. I have a specific type/look in men that I'm attracted to. But the guys I would seem interested in are either not interested in me or they are not aware of my interest in them. I'm quite quirky in appearance, personality. But I'm very smart, curious, open minded and observant (If you're curious as to why I look like, you can go to this link If I'm pretty like people tell me, how come guys don't ask me out?

I'm also usually forward when speaking with others. After a guy who I fell for didn't return his feelings, I shut out and stopped approaching guys and showing interest, in fear of rejection and just encountering the obvious. It took me months to get over him.

A lot of people in my age bracket are already in relationships, engaged or married. And it seems like they're all pretty much the same in personality, style, common interests and friends. I feel like the odd one out without any experience or proposals. I was raised in the Midwest, but I currently live in the deep south. So that might explain a lot. This not only feels odd to me, but like it's too soon for everyone to be married this young. I want to be in a relationship, but I feel like I'm too weird or quirky for men to handle or to be attracted to. Like I just turn them off right from the start of the conversation or minutes into. So I just keep quiet and too myself, unless someone interesting enough catches my eye. I don't like to waste my time with people who aren't gonna make time for me, benefit me or who I see as fake and toxic. Pretty valid, is it not? I know what I want and what I'm looking for, but I'm open for something different to me.

Could anyone give me any ideas as to why? And if you are or have been through what I'm going through, please give your story. Thank you!

So I haven’t been official with my boyfriend for very long but he’s number one Snapchat best friends with the girl he was with before me.

To preface, I was told he liked me about 6 months ago but he never did anything about it. We were on and off number one snapchat best friends for months but he kept losing the heart and I got off the app because of it.

We were also texting for months and finally he asked me out. Come to find out he asked me out a week after the girl went back to school and was planning to hang out with her that weekend!

A few weeks go by and she asks him to make it official but he said no. We were consistently dating at this point. However, even after we were official she was his number one best friend.

I got really upset and he blocked her with no hesitation, but I still feel like he’s only using me as a placeholder. He keeps saying that’s obviously not true because he chose to be official with me and not her, but I don’t like how he had to wait to ask me out until she left. And I don’t like how they kept talking until it turned into a fight.

I don’t have any reason not to trust him as of now other than that, but my self esteem is still sort of in shambles.

What do you all think?
