Search Results: emotion and dating

I’m 20 yo female. He is a 25 yo male.

This guy was something else. We met online, started dating, really REALLY liked each other, shared that chemistry. We went on 4 dates in a row! Had sex (first time with a guy). Both wanted to take it slow in hopes of getting into a serious relationship. We dated for a little over 2 months.

He expressed that he couldn’t see himself in a serious relationship with me due to the age gap (he expressed his hesitancy early on). He told me that he wanted to stay friends but understood if I didn’t want to. This guy brought so much joy and laughs to my life. We both felt so comfortable talking to each other. On our first date... I danced in front of him.. I never dance in front of strangers. Anyways, point is that we were really into each other but set in for him. He was very honest and broke it off with me after I sensed something and asked if he still liked me. He told me he rather break it off early than later because he doesn’t want to hurt me.

I told him I still wanted to be friends with him and do stuff, as friends. Shortly after, I knew that I needed to go No Contact to process my emotions. I also told him that I would be the one to contact him once I felt ready. It’s been 3 weeks No Contact.

Should I brake no contact? Should I have a plan? Boundaries? I don’t want to keep talking to my friends about this shit... it’s annoying because I can make the decision by myself but I don’t have any direction. This guy was my first everything. I don’t believe in cutting ties and going my separate way. Please any insight will help. Thank you so much.

The guy I was seeing broke up with me after 2 months. We were never boyfriend/girlfriend, just dating for the 2 months. He told me that he can’t see us in a relationship together, which is fine. I’m a bit hurt about it still. We agreed to be friends. I told him that I needed to take a few weeks from contacting him so that I can process my emotions. I miss texting him and calling him. I miss it all. I know that I should wait until I am ready to contact him, but how long is an acceptable amount of time to wait before contacting him?

My ex ended things with me over something that could of been easily solved. I worded something wrong and he got hurt and i've apologized.. He played with my emotions for a couple weeks. During one of our conversation he asked me hypothetical about taking a break and said it wasn't going to happen. Long story short he ended things. At first he said we can be friends and he said he would leave it up to me to be friends/social media. I changed my status and profile pics and he did the same thing after me but kept a picture of us two on his social media. He ended up blocking me on social media and told me it would be temporarily for him to get over the "pain" then he blocked me on where we were texting after i said i was going to delete/block. I did noticed he was on a dating app and used my pic i took of him and you could still see my jacket and a part of my hair in this picture.
