I was supposed to date this guy, but my mental health kept making me too nervous to meet and I had a lot of triggers around me etc so I'd always put it off.. I'd say maybe 3 times max. He then meets up with another girl he's been talking to alongside me and they get together, I'm talking to him here and there but nothing flirty at this point. We then talk most days and establish we're friends, he's happy and I'm dating. Fast forward a few months to this week. We've spoken everyday on video call for an hour each time, there's been a few moments where things have gotten inappropriate and semi flirty.. we messaged constantly through the day, he sends me videos etc and so I've stupidly caught feelings again. I've been honest and told him, told him I'm going to give him space to be happy with his girlfriend and he agrees this is the best idea but still wants to call once a week to check in etc. Justified how we spoke to each other as garage talk (we are both mechanics) but I told him it's different for me and makes me nervous and think about him inappropriately. He has only been with her maybe a month or 2 but that's not the point, and I can't keep sitting here thinking "that should have been me" but I really need a friend and have nobody now.. I don't know if I did the right thing.. maybe it was the right thing for them and not for me? I'll never be "that" girl though, so I guess it doesn't matter what's right for me if it's the right thing to do.

So there’s this guy I met a long time ago on a dating site my friend made for me. He lives in the UK and I live in the USA. We dated for a couple of months before he ended it due to his mental health. We have been talking on and off ever since then, and he claimed he’s changed for the better like he’s gotten the help he needed and understands that his behavior before towards me was bad.

so last week, he mentioned that he would like to restart a relationship with me because he realized that in every relationship he’s been in all he could think about was me (I don't know how true that is). I was obviously flattered at the time and entertained the idea some just because I thought it was genuine. However, the next day he ended it saying that he was getting ahead of himself and basically canceled everything he said before stating that his mental health is not doing as good as he thought right now. He said he’d be off of social media as well for a couple of weeks to get his mental state together but now I see him posting stories online only after a week of last talking to him so he lied about that. I’m not sure how to feel about it besides betrayed for the lack of better words or disposable. What do you think?

You were never really comfortable with the idea. But the person you're dating is amazing and you both just connect in every way possible- more than any person you have dated in the past.
