I had a few dates and an amazing couple of weeks with a guy who then decided he didn’t want a relationship (not that I even asked for one) and was happy on his own (good way to let me down gently I’m sure). He was great, said all the right things and gave me hope that it was going somewhere. And from the short time I knew him he was ‘ideal’ aka as close to perfect as any guy I’d met. Obviously I don’t know much about him due to the short time so I’m sure he wasn’t as perfect as he seemed. But i can’t stop thinking about him and what could have been and whether he’ll change his mind and start talking to me again. In my brain I KNOW this is stupid of me and it’s not gonna happen and I should get over it. So I’m trying to meet new people. Talking to a guy who is super sweet and seems cool and down to earth and I enjoy talking to but I just can’t enjoy it fully because I’m still always thinking of the other guy. Do I need to persevere and try and forget him? How???
Or do I need to take a break from dating? I feel like I should be putting myself out there since it wasn’t a long thing with the other guy but am I ruining all chances of anything going anywhere with someone new because I’m not over this guy?
