Gerald23Member #382,835Try being friendly with him first. But for a girl, it can really look desperate when she’s the one chasing, so I don’t really advise that kind of approach.
It might be better for you to just move on and try to find Mr. Right in someone else.You’re still young, and you’re sure to meet a lot more people.

Gerald23Member #382,835First of all, why are you the one doing the pursuing? That’s not really something a girl usually does. What is that—are you the one giving gifts and even the one inviting him out to eat, and you’re the one paying too? Isn’t that supposed to be the guy’s role?
If that’s your approach, you might end up being taken advantage of. It might be better to just wait for them to make the first move. If they don’t do it, then maybe you’re really not meant to be. It’s really that simple.
Gerald23Member #382,835It’s possible that she lost interest in you, or she found someone else she likes more. There are really people like that, sometimes they don’t know how to properly say they don’t want to continue anymore, so they just ghost instead.
It might be better for you to just look for someone else. For sure, what you feel for her isn’t that deep yet since it hasn’t even been a month.
Gerald23Member #382,835First of all, you need to fight for your child. You should make your child your priority.
Second, try to understand what is missing so you can both address it as husband and wife. It’s important that you talk to each other and be open with one another.
Gerald23Member #382,835It looks like you really love him and you’ve become very attached to this person. Try to distract yourself and do things you enjoy. What are your hobbies? You can also keep yourself busy, hang out with your friends, or even be open to other possible relationships and try dating again.
Those are some of the usual things people do when they’re moving on, but in the end, it’s really time that will tell when you’ll fully move on and heal.April 23, 2026 at 3:08 am in reply to: What patterns in myself do I keep overlooking in relationships? #53848
Gerald23Member #382,835First of all, don’t give everything, learn to save something for yourself so you don’t get taken for granted. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with you, it’s just that you love too much.
So when you start noticing something off in the relationship that doesn’t feel right anymore, don’t turn a blind eye to it. Look for the right person instead, not someone you have to fix or change.
Gerald23Member #382,835Simple, it should be give and take. It shouldn’t be just one person always getting their way, you should both be considered. It can’t be a mindset where you always think you’re right; you also need to learn how to give in sometimes.
Both of you should know how to adjust. It shouldn’t be that once you say what you want, it has to be followed no matter what. Support each other’s interests. Try doing the things the other person enjoys, even if it’s not what you’re used to. Instead of arguing about it, turn it into bonding time.
And most importantly, don’t make small problems bigger than they are. You’re not kids anymore, you know what’s right and wrong, and what’s shallow and what’s serious.
Gerald23Member #382,835I don’t think there’s any other way except to talk to her properly and explain everything. Whatever she feels or how she reacts is something we can’t control anymore, that’s on her. It will depend on how she accepts it or how she understands the situation. But that doesn’t mean she won’t get hurt, especially since it’s coming from you yourself that she hasn’t done anything wrong.
Gerald23Member #382,835My advice is to just leave him be and don’t chase after him. The more you chase him, the more he’ll just play with you, because you’re showing him that you like him. You know, if he’s really interested in you, he should be the one initiating things, especially since he’s the guy. If he truly likes you, he’ll make an effort. But since he’s not, it’s possible he’s just playing games.
Only invest your time in him once his intentions toward you are clear. For now, just lay low and stay open to other possible relationships. -
