OK, I feel completely pathetic over this and am having a weak moment- please be gentle!
It's been a fairly uneventful few years love life wise. Pandemic, apps generally being shite, life...but met a guy last summer who showed real promise. We have some mutual acquaintances so I knew he was a good guy. Ended up dating for 2 months. He was sweet, consistent, we had a great time on dates with him referring to future ones. And then for no reason that I could see, he started slow fading. Was confusing/hurtful at the time as it seemed like things were going well. Finally called him out and he said he didn't know if he saw us in the long term. Apologised for his poor communication over the last weeks.
Was sad at the time but moved on. No contact since. Over the festive period a friend asked if I had ever heard from him and it got me thinking. I know your worth doesn't depend on outside validation but in my weaker moments, I do feel a little....sad/rejected that he never reached out again. Has he really never been curious? Never missed me? We ended on decent terms and I'm pretty sure he's still single. Just ranting but so annoyed with myself for still feeling like this, I know its pathetic. I've had long term relationships that have lingered far less.
Anyone had anything similar/any advice?!
