i used to have a girl. and i know that’s how it always fucking starts but it did start that way. she seemed different from the other shallow bitches that i had the pleasure of tolerating for years. keyword:seemed.
i asked her out on a whim, and she said yes.
we went out, and when our hands touched it was as if a million fireworks went off in every molecule of my body.
clearly she didn’t feel the same.
it got to a point where i was asking nearly daily to go out again, and while she didn’t want to respond to my messages half the time, she seemed perfectly content with insisting i meant a lot to her.
i stopped asking, and she stopped messaging me as well. i guess i did really did mean very little to her.
this went on for several weeks, then finally, she asked to go out again.
of course i came cause im a naive idiot, but she didn’t even grace me with showing up.
if you’ll excuse me im off to go block her on facebook and hope to god i never see her again. because it’s not like she’s a shitty person, it’s just she doesn’t like me.
and that’s that i guess.
another day alone.

Yeah, that’s unpleasant. It’s not you either, it’s just the way people are. We all run at different speeds and most people don’t have the self awareness to say go slower or go faster.
Or other things intervene…
In Jan 2015 I was dating a wonderful artist in Cincinnati. We really liked each other. Had lots of laughs. But once I told her I REALLY liked her she cooled off faster than a fried egg on marble plate. Kicked me out in the middle of a snow storm. No fixing that.
I still think she’s great. I just happened to get caught right in the crosshairs of one of her flaws. That’s just the way people are. Nothing you can do about it but move on.
Yup, this happens quite a lot, and i have to say that what SeeSmith says is the main culprit (different speeds and lack of self awareness). I remember that when my ex broke off with me she claimed that i abandoned her, proceeded to tell me to forget about her and that we’d never talk again, and in the same conversation gave me her new phone number so we could continue the conversation if i wanted to, lol. I stopped trying to understand the weird timings of other people a long time ago, my guess is that if they care about you enough they’ll adjust partially, and so will you (and imho that’s the healthiest thing for both parts).

I understand your pain, I have had that issue as well
