    so i met this guy about a month ago at the gym. we’ve been video chatting, texting, talking every day since. he mentioned to me that he still had confusing feeling when it came to his recent ex. but that he would not want me out of his life, and still saw a future with me. he said if he didnt, he would be honest and let me know. so we actually recent had our first date, everything was amazing, he treated me to dinner and a movie, held me hand as we crossed the street and wouldnt let go, in my mind this was a date, i have close guy friends all my life, and they’ve never treated me this well. i bet he doesnt chill with own homies this way, smh. when it ended he walked me home, and i thought he was leaning in to kiss me after he squeezed me tight goodnight. thinking he would kiss me, i leaned in too. only for him to reject it, and state that he wouldnt feel comfortable, because he dealing with another person aka his ex. i was embarrassed to say the least. when i called him to let him know i was home, and talked about what happened, when then he finally told me that he had still been messing with the ex, physically. i was instantly hurting and felt like crap. he never told me anything as far as this. if i had known, i wouldnt have put myself out there. its like this girls snapped her fingers nad he came running back. feeling like i was just something to pass the time while he figured out what he was doing with her. smh. i told him i couldn’t be friends, tlak or chill anymore. it wasnt easy. he told me that we would probably never happen. after relentless courting me, he just changed like the weather, like i was making shit up in my head. his last words to me, we. im sorry if i ever did anything to hurt you, i only meant well, take care sweetie. what the hell is this shit???? did i completely waste my time?

    You had one date. It wasn’t a waste of time. You learned a lot about him on that date — that he’s not available. This is exactly what dating is for — to figure out if a guy is someone you want to continue dating (and vice versa). You learned. It’s over. Next!

    I think what you’re upset about is that he was flirting with you leading up to the date, and you were banking on that flirting leading to more than it did. I get it. You’re really let down because you feel like he wasn’t honest with you by flirting and giving you the kind of attention that usually comes with dating interest. You’re reacting as if he betrayed you — and you’re embarrassed about leaning in for a kiss that got rejected. Definitely awkward, but this is all part of dating. Try to brush it off. It wasn’t a huge investment on your part, and you’ve learned pretty quickly to move on. As for why he did this — he’s lonely. He may be having a physical relationship with his ex, but he’s looking for more that he isn’t getting there. You were his attempt to connect emotionally and socially.

    Hope that helps. 🙂
