(Long-time lurker in a real slump)
What it says on the tin really...man pursued me old-fashioned style, like real courting if you know what I mean. Made me feel desired and special, then dropped me like a bag of wet chips when I reciprocated (and I'd been carefully vetting this behaviour in my head for months to make sure it wasn't just love bombing and he wasn't a player!) Looking back of course he was happy being unavailable, hot and cold, still talking to someone else and only enjoyed the playtime romance feelings. Feel an absolute idiot and thought I was done with this feeling in this decade!
Does it get any better? God, I hope so.
