I ended it. He agreed. Why am I so hurt?

Been seeing a guy these last few weeks. Things got very serious very fast - we spent a crazy amount of time together and by our third date he was telling me how much he liked me. Our intimacy and closeness has been off the charts - many nights spent together having deep conversations in bed, talking about our fears, passions, ambitions - you name it. Today though, I decided to end it. I realised that I couldn’t see him as part of my future (for various reasons I won’t get into), and because I’m toward the end of my 20’s, I’m having to think of the longer term with dating rather than just something temporary and fun. For some reason though, when I told him this I was so taken aback by how much he was in agreement. I felt my ego being bruised so badly. It’s crazy to think how much I wanted him to disagree - despite knowing this would make things harder for me in the long run. Deep down I wanted him to fight for me and feel sad about me ending things? But it turns out he was completely...

Potential red flag?

I 31m went on a date with 27f - she asked about my last relationship and why it ended, no big deal I guess… but then she asked to see a picture of my ex? That’s weird right?

How to carry on with a shy girl? How to know if a shy girl likes you?

There is this really shy and quiet girl (19) and I'm (22) not really sure how to carry on things and if she just likes me as a friend. We know each other for a year now because we go to the same places/parties. We rarely chat online, but everytime we see each other at parties we talk and dance together. I noticed she likes to touch me and everytime we see each us we laugh frequently. I know that she likes me, as she talks about things we could do together in the future and she even bought me something little for my birthday. So last saturday I accompanied her home after a party and gave her a kiss on the cheek and she gave me one too. Right after I told her I would like to kiss her lips and she said, as shy as she is, "what if I dont know how to kiss? It's been a long time". I said to her it's all about the feelings and I kissed her. She pulled a bit back but gave me a short kiss too after. We went for a walk today, but I didn't kissed her because somehow ...

Is it a red flag if he keeps texting me when I don’t reply?

I (28F) have been getting to know (33M) this guy for nearly two months. We have a good connection, are similar in many ways, although I have caught myself getting the ick at times. He likes to communicate frequently in the day, meaning almost nonstop. He is big in sharing his life with me, meaning regular updates and pictures. I’m not always able to reply right away as I’m working or busy with life so I’ve noticed if I don’t he will double or triple text me. I think it’s sweet he likes to keep me in the loop however at times it is a bit much, like today. I’ve had a busy day and haven’t been able to get back to him consistently, so he’s continued to text me. He doesn’t seem like a textbook creep however some of his behaviors are a bit off putting at times. He isn’t unaware, he has said to me he knows he messages me a lot and even asked me if I think it’s weird. I felt uncomfortable saying yes because I didn’t want to be insensitive, now I’m regretting not being honest. His messages ar...

/u/helium2689 on How many crushes have you had?

26, I fell in love three times (all with close friend), and I don’t think I ever had a crush. The first two were unrequited love. But I’m gonna get married with the 3rd one this year ❤️. (She’s asexual, I’m demisexual-demiromantic.) February 21, 2023 at 11:10PM

/u/KMFCM on tired of hearing "x can't be asexual because he loves y!"

I really wish it did mean i couldn't fall in love. I really do. February 21, 2023 at 11:08PM
