I just wanted to share this, because it’s been a bit of a tough day. I feel pathetic even writing this (as a 31 year old guy), but here we go. I recently met someone from my company who I seemed to really hit it off with. She seemed almost too good to be true. We had so many things in common, and got along so well. I felt (for the first time in a long time) like I had truly met my perfect match. I know that they say you shouldn’t date people you work with, but I was willing to take the risk for someone who seemed perfect for me (and I bet you’d do the same).
Of course, it didn’t end up going anywhere. I tried to get to know her better without putting pressure on her or anything. Our conversations seemed to get a bit more distant, and then I found out that she was going out with another guy who also works here. I honestly was shocked, since I objectively think I’m better than the person she ended up selecting (but the heart wants what it wants I guess). I can’t even be hard on myself because I know I did everything right. I’m usually the first one to kick myself for saying the wrong thing or screwing up, but I know that I didn’t do anything wrong.
I’m honestly devastated though. As someone who doesn’t really date very much and has only had one relationship in his entire life, I thought I was finally on the right track (but it looks like I was fooling myself).
I just wanted to know if anyone else has been through the same thing before. Maybe then I won’t feel like I messed up. I have no idea where I’ll ever meet someone who makes me feel like this again, but hopefully next time it works out and doesn’t leave me with this feeling lol. #relationships source
