Search Results: internet relationships

Long story made short: I was friends with a girl, developed feelings for her and was rejected. We agree to remain friends, but I told her that I would need time away from her to process. It has been two months since this happened and we haven`t talked since.

Part of me greatly miss her as a friend and want to restart contact.

Another part is afraid that I will not be able to get over the crush and will just suffer to stay near her, so it is best to keep my distance.

Another part wants to keep more distance for now, but to give another try for a romantic relationship in the long term, but I am skeptical about getting a yes after a no.

Overall, I am confused and I dont`t no which path to follow. Please, enlighten my way, random people of the internet

A lot of men in recent years (especially on the internet) that 80% of women these days are only dating and having sex with the top 20% of men, leaving the remaining 80% of men to fight over the remaining 20% of women. I think this belief has been fueled by dating apps since it has also been claimed that the apps have inflated women’s standards dramatically because they get so many matches on them and are naturally only aiming for the highest tier of men on their list of matches. They also claim that women are sharing this 20% of men and seeing them casually in hopes that they will choose to enter into a committed relationship with them.
