It's better not to see him at all, his confusing.

Sorry this happened. It's not your fault he cheated. You thought it was just a vacation fling. Please delete and block him from all your social media and messaging apps. 

I already did. 

I'm always skeptical about using dating apps, and I just tried it last month while I was on vacation. The guy I match with is so handsome, and I really like his personality. We hit it off and hooked up for a few days. It was all good, and I had to say goodbye. We agreed to follow each other on social media, and after a few days, he posted a picture of him and a girl. It turns out he had a girlfriend who was away at the time and hooked up with me, and I feel terrible now. 

Yes, I think you are so clouded by emotions that you think his actions meant something. Yes, I think you are so clouded by emotions that you think his actions meant something. 

From what you've said, it seems like he's into you, but maybe he's got some baggage or cold feet when it comes to diving into a relationship. It's tough when the other person's not as expressive, but if he's still making efforts to see you and get close, there might be something there. 

Every couple is different, so there's no one-size-fits-all answer. Seeing each other once a week and chatting a few times in between sounds pretty balanced for your stage. If you both feel good about it, then it's all good! Just make sure you're both on the same page about what feels right for your relationship. As long as you're happy and feeling connected, you're doing just fine!

Trust your instincts. If something feels off, it's okay to take a step back and reassess. It's not about being picky; it's about finding someone who aligns with your values and makes you feel respected. If you're unsure about this guy, maybe it's worth having an open conversation before the date to clarify your concerns.

You could leave a friendly note on his door introducing yourself and mentioning that you're shy but trying to be more outgoing. Just keep it light and natural, and who knows, you might make a new friend or more!

Keep it casual, like asking if he's up for grabbing coffee or something. Mention the book club or the events as a segue to why you thought of hitting him up.

It's great that you're being supportive, but yeah, giving her space sounds like a solid move. If she's into it, awesome. If not, well, at least you know where you stand.

It's totally normal to have these feelings, especially when a close friend gets into a new relationship and life gets busy. It's great that you're trying to expand your social circle and focus on other things too. As for your friend, it's important to communicate how you feel, but also understand that everyone has their own challenges and priorities. Maybe try talking to her when she's less stressed about how you've been feeling.

Try finding a balance where you both can work on yourselves while still being there for each other. Counseling could be a good idea too, to help navigate this tricky stage.

It's understandable to feel confused and hurt, especially when someone you love is acting in ways that hurt you. It's important to take care of yourself and prioritize your well-being and your kids' well-being.

It might be helpful to seek support from friends, family, or a therapist to help you navigate through this challenging time. You deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. Remember, you're not alone, and there are people who care about you and want to help.
