Until i get into a serious, committed relationship, i'm open to seeing other people - absolutely.
Let it be known that i am NOT looking going forward. Whatever happens, happens.
Until a man lets his intentions be known, and i have agreed to said intentions........"Exclusive Dating" means diddly squat to me.
That just means you are taking me off the market while you decide if i'm a keeper or not. Waste of my time. Not falling for that ever again.
And it's not something to stick in their face either. It's for me to know. I tell men i'm dating too much about my life. Daters are casual, on a need to know basis. Relationships get the details.
Thats how to keep from getting invested in someone who isn't investing in me.
The man that shows he is serious and treats me the way i deserve to be treated WITHOUT COACHING, is the one i will notice going forward. These other low effort, game playing, emotionally unavailble men are wasting my energy.
I shouldn't be crying over a douchebag who was never going to offer me anything other than drama and insecurity.
I need to ACT faster. I'm happy i took charge of my situation and broke up with him as soon as i realized his ex was still in his heart......yay me. But i should have broken up with him when that note was still on the cabinet, and that matt was still at the door. Why? Because i feel embarrassed now that i was spending time in a home where another woman still ruled. Whether she was there or not.
Lesson learned.
No matter how interested i am, i need to pay attention to ACTIONS and words that are actually proven.
Period.
Why do i keep communicating with Bill? Because he is responsive. Because he loves the attention and so do i. It's sick. I never feel better after contact with him. I asked him why he keeps reaching out, reminding me of his existence. To what end? For what purpose? He said he didn't know. And said he would stop. I'm supposed to say, no, don't stop. But i said "okay" and of couse now he wants to talk to me.
I don't need any more unavailable men that only want me when i don't want them. When they feel me withdraw, or not care....then the effort comes. Like i'm a prize not a person. yay, you win.
It takes two. So i'm removing my part. It's not going to be easy but it needs to be done. This man offers me nothing so why am i in contact with him? Zero reason to be.
