bulldogz Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I had an emotionally-brutal breakup. It has left me sad. I did everything wrong after the breakup, but what's done is done. When I finally do heal, in time, and can "move on," what this last relationship will do to me is make it harder to fully get invested emotionally in a new relationship. After dating about 50 people through OLD, and getting unduly upset over some five to six-date flings that didn't work out, I learned to not get overly excited and have high expectations... but only early on. I learned that statistically anyone I really liked would probably be done after a third date. But when my last girlfriend, whom I REALLY liked, continued to like me and form a relationship, I was in uncharted waters (or at least for a few years), and I let my emotions and romantic imagination run wild. Anyway, I'm assuming a lot of people have these feelings after a relationship that doesn't work. But, does it eventually go away? Link to post Share on other sites
Juha Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I agree. Have been through many breakups, bad and good. Pretty much sick and tired of it. Just want to hook up now don't want to be involved anymore. Link to post Share on other sites
Targetlock Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'm at the opposite end of this problem, i have unfortunately never been in a proper relationship just had a few false starts and a lot of disappointments, it feels like nobody has given me a real chance I guess you will feel differently when you meet the right person and the adventure begins again. I guess life is all about taking risks, but its better to try i guess than not try at all Link to post Share on other sites
Teraskas Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I honestly don't know. :/ Only been in 2 relationships, both were bad breakups. It's been nearly 2,5 years single since the last breakup. Ofcourse I dated in the meantime but nothing materialised. Initially I didn't have high expectations, I still don't to this day. At this point, no woman I've dated has considered going for a second or even a third date. Always cold, instant rejection. The funny part is I'm not even doing anything wrong, neither consciously, nor subconsciously. No one is willing to give me a chance either, lol. At this point I do not believe in love anymore. I've waded through too much bs to believe there's still a chance. If one day, a woman for some miraculous reason will REALLY like me for something more than platonic "friends", now that will be the day, lol... Link to post Share on other sites
