Search Results: getting over him relationship

28F, I haven’t dated someone in years & haven’t met someone from a dating app in over a yr. I’m at the point where I just don’t feel the desire to be active on them & use them kind of sporadically throughout the week. I’m really worried that years down the line I will regret being as isolated as I’ve been, considering I don’t have a social life. I don’t want kids & when it comes to friendships, I don’t put myself out there either. I just don’t have the energy to deal with people, most friends I’ve had throughout the years I’ve cut off. Im not one to settle with people’s bs for the sake of not being alone, I’m quick to cut people off when they do things that bother me after an extended amount of time. With dating, I haven’t had sex or masturbated in years. I find men attractive but sometimes I wonder if men like me. I’m told I’m cute/attractive & getting matches on the apps have never been the issue. It usually just doesn’t work out & it can go both ways, I never get approached by guys that’s always been my reality. People are a lot of work & relationships are too much work at times, I’m kind of apathetic but my anxiety takes over at times. Maybe the right person will change everything.

I (24) have known my ex (29) for 2 years now we dated for 8 months and moved in together we ended our relationship 3 months ago because we argued too much. when we broke up he started seeing his ex again recently he asked me to work on our relationship again i told him i would have to think about it 2 weeks later we sat down and had a conversation about what we both should expect in the future so i could tell him if i wanted to continue the relationship or not eventually it turned into a argument so i blurted out and said we should just be friends. the next day we had another conversation and he told me he's not where he wants to be in life and just wants to be friends i told him i felt like he tried to start an argument because he knew i was going to make my mind up that day.

i have been having a hard time meeting new people i thought i was over my feelings for him so last week i asked him to be my friends with benefits for a little while and now i have feelings for him again we have been getting along very well lately should i tell him how i feel and ask him to continue our relationship or should i just let it go and end the friends with benefits since he told me a few weeks ago he doesn't want a relationship anymore?
