He says he regrets everything, what do I do

I’ve been dating a guy for a month now and from the second date he was telling me he loved me which yes I know was too soon, I told him that it wasn’t love and he told me not to dictate his feelings which I never argued with..

Right from the get go he was very intense and passionate about me, crying when he thought I blocked him, I told him a couple weeks in I didn’t want to be with him as I just felt smothered he also cried at that too and I felt bad so I just stayed.. we both booked off a week just to get away for a few days aswell, he spoke about the idea of moving out together after New Years next year.. to which I told him he was rushing and moving way too fast

The last time I seen him I felt I connected with him as he had calmed down and we spoke about everything, all our feelings etc..

We see each other one night and day a week and today he told me one of his days off got moved to a different day which means I can’t see him every week, it’s more like every other week or once a month depending on my shifts..

He’s told me now that he regrets forcing me to love him that he shouldn’t have said he loved me too soon, he regrets talking about moving in together and that he doesn’t really see this working out as we can’t see each other much.. he said we could still be friends in which I said I don’t want to just be friends..

He basically regrets moving too quickly, the holiday is cancelled but I didn’t think that was going ahead anyways as I kept asking him if he booked the hotel and he was always like he’ll do it later or closer to the date..

In all honesty I’m just thinking about calling it quits, I just want to know everyone’s perspective on this and what you think I should do.. Please don’t be mean as it’s not necessary.

I dated someone like this when I was 18. Our first date was 2 days before Valentine’s Day, we worked together in a big department store. On Valentine’s day I come to my desk at work and he’s covered it in red roses, chocolates me to you teddys holding I love you pillows it was freaky freaky shit! My boss came in to find me just staring at it and she found it hilarious. He then came over the tannoy to tell the whole store that he’d found the love of his life it was mortifying! I promptly ended things with him and he went to my mums house crying on the doorstep. Honestly I couldn’t run away quick enough! He then told everyone at work that I’d given him a blow job and I was that unsexy that he couldn’t even get hard so I sucked it soft for a while then licked his bumhole 🤮 (I absolutely did neither) so what for loving me ay? Run the fuck away while you can! He sounds like an absolute loon and is definitely love bombing you.
My God he is batshit crazy! Whatever happened to him since then, do tell! Though he could be locked up ......

I had a guy like that too, met at work and went to the boss asking for a sabbatical because I had broken his heart when I didn't want to see him anymore. I always said it was like going out with Adrian Mole. Last heard of in Cleethorpes.

Learn from this OP, this is classic love bombing, narcissistic behaviour. You are on the discard part now as he has probably got another victim in his clutches saying the same things he has said to you at the beginning. Just laugh it off as a small step into the batshit crazy world of the narcissist. Run for the hills.

Wow it’s like 4 seasons in one day dating.

Don’t agree to be friends OP, what’s the point. I’m not seeing what he has to offer as a friend anyway.

Just send a final message wishing him well, delete and block.

He is absolutely fucking mental. Block him and I hope to goodness he doesnt know where you live. wouldn't put it past him to start posting rambling letters through your door. Or stalk you.

Babygotblueyes · 16/06/2021 10:28

Run. Now. You dont need this kind of immaturity or basic fuckwittery. You deserve more.

Not sure what you are asking.
He is dumping you. With the friends thing to soften the blow, but I suspect he knows you would say that was not enough.
Either he got what he wanted, which was you interested, and now the chase is over, then he isn't. Or he wasn't able to smother you as he wanted and he is moving on to the next victim.

Call it all off and consider yourself lucky. Just waste less time with these men next time.

’we see each other one day and night a week’
So you’ve met him four times, then 🤣🤣😂 christ.
