Search Results: it hurts so bad

And if you are 'bad in bed' would that hurt your ego?

I have heard girls say, "I'm okay with just dating casually, but I don't want any commitment now." Here is how I interpreted that comment.

"I'm okay with just dating casually," means she wants to have sex.

"I don't want any commitment now," has two possible meanings.

EITHER

1. I JUST want sex! Don't try to become my boyfriend or I'll run away REAL lickety-split! (It's old Southern vernacular for real damned quick.)

OR

2. I've been hurt bad before and I'm not gonna admit that I still wanna find a boyfriend 'cause I'll probably just get hurt again, BUT it would be great if you became my boyfriend. So we can have sex now, and maybe that will get you hooked.

Have you ever told a guy something like, "I'm okay with just dating casually, but I don't want any commitment now?" If so, just what did you mean? Honestly?

I met this girl start of last year at work (ages 21, 22). We immediately connected, and became friends. A month ish later we ended up hooking up, naturally transitioned to a situationship.

we used to hang out after work, do *ahem* stuff, play Fortnite, deep talk, and fell asleep cuddling tightly. She said didn’t want commitment, that she had fears. said she does like me and would’ve pursued something with me if it wasn’t for where she was in life right now.

Life happened, and we stopped, tho we kept being friends. Few months later I invite her to hang out and the next day, she tells me tbh she wants to resume (the casual stuff) and that she feels a type of something but was too shy to reinitiate. So we did.

After that didn’t see her for a few weeks cos went to see family in Italy. when I came back we hung out and she mentioned that our mutual friend/coworker mentioned to her I still had feelings for my ex… tbh back then time I was going through a confusing time. I was honest and admitted I still had feelings for my ex and that we met up right after I came back. She seemed uncomfortable, said go she’s glad for me for me but later on she said it felt weird. Few days after that she was fine, but then she stopped replying to my messages completely. Heard from the coworker that snitched that she was going through a rough time.

Heard she had her yearly visit to her hometown around then. she came back to work around January this year. she seemed open and cold at the same time. When our shift ended the same time I said I went to get food and she followed me. Convo was pretty good, but when I suggested getting ice cream she said “I’m not just gonna go wherever you go”. ? she's still replying to my messages in good time and isn’t dry. It’s been a while since then and it’s all still similar.

I guess I liked her more than I thought, and I feel really bad how all this unfolded. I still care about her a lot.

Do you think I hurt her and she’s salty, and that I played her?

If Men put laws in place to protect women from bad men and bad women abuse those same laws to hurt good men, should good women advocate to abolish these laws that bad women are abusing in order to prevent them from hurting good men?
