How to get through this

Hi,

I've met a girl 2 weeks ago, and pretty much instantly got hooked to her on the first date, she's 22 I'm 29. I haven't felt this in years. She told me from the start that she couldn't have something serious as she wants to see other people because she's still mourning her previous relationship.

We've spent days together, she really likes me, but I like her so much I don't know how to handle imagining her with other guys.

As sad it had to be, I had to tell her goodbye even though she tried to convince me to try that kind of relationship.

I am feeling hurt and confused, she tried to text me once but left on read. Would you try to go with what she needs if you think it is worth in the long run ?

Have you been in a similar situation ? How did you handle it ?

Thanks.

You did the right thing by walking away. Do not go back there.

She isn't interested in committing to you right now, and you're only going to cause yourself more hurt if you go along with what she wants.

You're currently feeling hurt, but it will be ten times worse if you stick with her and she meets someone else and drops you completely. Sounds like she's still heartbroken and just wants to date around a bit.

Thanks for your answer,

Guess I'll just wait a bit for her to reach out for real while moving on.

You can't move on while waiting just a bit for her to reach out. You're fooling yourself here.

Why are you confused? She told you where she stands. You're nearly 30 you need to control your emotions better than getting attached after one date. I don't think it's realistic for you to hang around waiting for her to choose you. You should block her and have a clean break.

I got attached after spending 4 full days together. You're right, making this stop all together is the easiest option.

Does she offer you what you need is the question you should be asking. The answer is pretty clear.

You're going to need to grow up a bit if you think this is a problem situation. 'Hurt and confused' after knowing her 2 weeks demonstrates that you need to increase your emotional stability before trying to have any kind of relationship. You're too delicate, currently, to weather someone you don't even know, partially rejecting you. Why are you so fragile?

You've known her 2 weeks.

Leave the hall in her court. If she's interested she'll contact you.
