Heartbroken . . . again

[Murasaki]

I have a special talent! I get my heart ripped out every summer when I come back from school.. I was talking to a girl I met through a mutual friend that knew I really liked her and she seemed to be giving me positive signals. Naturally, when I ask her out she tells me she wasn't trying to date anyone. As I'm leaving a small gathering late one night, just as I'm at the door, she kisses some dude in front of me. As of the next day they were in a relationship. *big deep breath*. Damnit.

 

I'm gonna do lots of things to keep me sane. cross your fingers for me friends

You never dated her yet you had your heart ripped out??? CONFUSED.

I think the "I don't want to date anyone right now" is a line that alot of people use to gently tell someone they're not interested. I know that it hurts to feel rejected like this, but try not to let it get to you. It isn't a reflection on who you are, it's just about the type of person she's attracted to.

 

Keep trying Maybe you'll meet a great girl when you return to school.

I just wanted to add that it's okay and normal to feel heartbroken, even if you never dated her. Attraction and crushes can feel very intense, especially if the person has been giving you positive signals.

sucks, but you shouldn't have put so much into a girl you barely know and had no dating anything with.

I didn't put "so much" into it, I just got hurt like a regular human being would. Thanks for the uplifting advice to all, though.

I know it's hard not to be defensive, but it really is useful advice to not put so much of your heart into someone you aren't dating and never dated.
