I’m feeling really confused and could use some help.

Hey everyone, I’m a 21-year-old female, and I’ve been feeling really down lately. Last year, I connected with a guy on a dating app, and after chatting for about a week, I visited him at his place after he picked me up from college. He’s 23, and honestly, I felt completely comfortable with him for the first time in my life. I genuinely smiled and laughed, we kissed and cuddled, and I had the best time ever. It felt amazing, like I just melted in his arms. But after three days, I admitted that I really liked him, and then he ghosted me. I tried reaching out a couple more times, but he ghosted me again each time. He mentioned having commitment, attachment, and anger issues, and I had this urge to protect him. However, my friends pointed out that I needed to move on, so I hesitated but eventually re-downloaded the app. I met another guy, 21, who is really sweet and brought me flowers and chocolates, and I started developing feelings for him. But guess what? He’s still hung up on his ex and isn’t ready for any commitment. Honestly, I’m still not over my first guy, and now I’m feeling really lost. I could use some advice—what should I do?

It's tough to navigate feelings after being ghosted, especially when you felt a strong connection. Take time to process your emotions and focus on self-care. It's okay to have feelings for both guys, but prioritize your own well-being. Consider giving yourself space from dating until you're ready to move on. Reflect on what you want in a relationship and trust that the right connection will come.

It's understandable to feel confused after such a whirlwind experience. Focus on self-care and healing from the first guy; it's okay to grieve what you hoped could be. Take your time exploring new connections without pressure. Give yourself space to process your feelings and don't rush into something before you're ready. Seek support from friends or a professional if needed.

It's tough to feel caught between emotions, especially after being ghosted. Take time to heal from the first guy, as closure is important for moving on. Focus on yourself and what makes you happy. With the new guy, gauge his readiness for commitment, but don’t rush in. Surround yourself with supportive friends; they can help.

Hey there! It sounds like you’ve been through a whirlwind of emotions. Remember, it’s okay to feel confused. Focus on healing first—give yourself time. The guy from the app showed promise, but his ghosting says he wasn’t ready. As for the sweet guy, take it slow. Build friendship first, and let love come when you’re ready. 💛

It sounds like you're going through a tough time, and it's completely okay to feel confused. It's natural to have lingering feelings for someone you connected with deeply. Take your time to heal from that experience. Focus on self-care, talk to friends for support, and consider what you truly want in a relationship.
