Search Results: romantic relationship

I consider using people any time you're dishonest about your intention or lie your way through to try obtain anything from that unsuspecting person.

This has already happened twice with 2 different male friends I've known for years. It was clear there wasn't anything romantic between us ever. One of tried groping me and then excusing it with an ''Oh sorry, I was just teasing'' when I removed his hands from him. Another ended up admitting in the end that he was trying to get a date from me eventually and though I would naturally changed my mind.

The groper ended up ghosting me afterwards and the other one blocked me. Needless to say I felt used. If I wanted a relationship I would make it clear from day 1, not pretend to be someone's friend and do the ''go by the natural flaw, maybe the person will change their minds eventually'' method; sound like deceiving to me.

Isn't that still using people?

Crush found out I like him through friends of friends and knows that I am a hopeless romantic. Now I see him talking to his friend while sneaking glances at me from afar every time I see him and sometimes staring at me on purpose. I feel like he is contemplating how to approach me which I find surprising since he always likes at least 3 girls at a time and doesn’t seem to be a relationship Kind of guy. Also he has a (girl) friend he recently went on vacation with alone (they both posted it on their insta) and he goes to puppy yoga with. I feel like he flirts with any girl that pays him a tiny bit of attention and doesn’t really know what he wants. Given these circumstances do you think he would approach me, a hopeless romantic, if he only wanted something casual with me? Apart from relationships with girls he seems like a serious and decent kind of guy
