How to get over a guy you dated…?

[Learningsomelessons]

I can get quite emotionally attached very easily to men I date and I know this is something I need to work on…

I recently dated this guy and it was going really well, I thought we had a connection, we were into each other… and then sort of out of the blue he started to ignore me and then eventually told me he wasn’t interested.

I never replied to him, deleted his number and our chat on WhatsApp but I still had him on Instagram (he added me when we were dating). He was viewing my stories and vice versa, including him being tagged by other people (all girls) on nights out drinking. It was making me feel a bit shitty so tonight I decided to unfollow and also remove him from my followers. I do feel better but at the same time a bit…. not sad but I guess it’s me giving up the hope of him ever getting in touch again.

Anyway, it got me thinking… what are you foolproof methods for getting over guys / not caring / moving on?

Anyone…?

I know what you mean. When I was online dating it was like you’d made a new best friend (with benefits), you’d be speaking a lot and suddenly you weren’t anymore and you’d never see them again.
It’s not great for anyone’s mental health I think.
As with anything like this, the greatest healer is time; it’s a terrible cliche I know, but cliches tend to be true.

I don’t know why but I sort of feel a bit sad that I’ve deleted all trace of him now because I think I was clinging onto some hope with having him on Instagram. But, it was the right thing to do?

I just hate how I care so much 😞

Was deleting him on instagram the right thing to do?

Yes it definitely was. Out of sight out of mind. I hope you're ok

Delete and block him on everything so you aren't seeing any updates. Get out and meet someone sexier. Sooner or later you'll look back and wonder why you ever cared so much, honestly.

You need to learn to be happy on your own. Failing that you need to find someone who wants YOU!
I have a friend who is putting up with a whole lot of crap from a man simply because she doesn’t want to be alone. It’s a worrying enough situation but there are children involved. She’s doesn’t care cause she lurves him.

And you should have deleted him ages ago. If a man wants you you’ll know. Just like he will if you want to be with him. Don’t play games!
