Didn’t do it

...See more I’ve talked of a boy I’ve got into a relationship a few weeks ago a, and how I wasn’t sure if I was really ready for a relationship with him or in general. Well we broke it off. Apparently all it took was me asking if he’d ever take me out on a date soon and he expected me to wait a month to ‘make the time’. So I set some boundaries and explained to him I wouldn’t wait around for him or make an effort if he wasn’t. He gave some hard mixed signals like saying he did want to work it out, but also how we should just be friends cause we MIGHT be related… Yeah I agreed to be friends and just didn’t bother talking to him since. Thank you to those who replied to me and gave me advice, it actually helped make my decision in the end.

Don’t think I can do it

...See more In my last thread I talked about my new relationship, and how I was worried about a certain situation would be happening again. Well it’s been a week since we started dating now and to be honest I don’t think I like him as much as I thought I would. It’s not even that I’m all that worried about what I was overthinking. I don’t know what it is but I don’t feel anything for or with him. He also kind of just stopped making the effort to keep a conversation alive and it really feels like I’m the one who has to text first, to remind you it’s only been a week. I get we don’t have to talk everyday but it’s been a “good morning” and “goodnight” deal for four days. We saw each other while watching fireworks for the first time, when they were over he offered a hug. He made sure it was quick and raised his arms before I could even hug him properly, a lot of people were around I get that but come on… It didn’t feel special at all. I didn’t feel anything after, only thinking of the way he ‘hugged’ me. Then took a nap. I’m actually going to just break it off if I continue to feel this way.

...See more So recently I’ve got into a new relationship, the conversations with him has been nice and kept flowing. I really want to get to know him more, even see if we’ll work out for each other. The thing is I’m scared. It’s been 3 years since I’ve been in a relationship and throughout I was recovering from my last relationship, not bothering with talking to any guys until now. The reason I feel I’m being paranoid is because in the last relationship ex would tell me that he was only dating me out of a dare to get money and for some reason I let it go on for two years before getting sick of ex’s bs and breaking it off. Another thing is new guy and ex are friends with some of the same people… And new guy kinda just went for it and without even thinking I accepted. I’m scared if it was all true, that it might just be happening again as another stupid joke. Am I really ready for another relationship if I can’t let go of that past?
