If it makes you feel any better, I once met a guy who seemed like wittiest person ever over text. Then I met him irl and his personality was completely different. He was super shy too. But beautiful 😒 We dated for a bit even though I suspected him of being a robot pretending to be human.

@Bold: 😆😆😆

yes, that does make me feel better ..... somewhat! Looks can only take you so far, and it's tragic when online chemistry doesn't translate into real life, though it happens all the time!

That's why I try not to waste more than a week before meeting them too! No time for fantasies! 💁‍♀️ Except this one time I made a mistake despite my better judgment.

Okay I won't. But get it together, girl. Please. I can't see you like this. You are much stronger than this. ❤️

I am mentally very strong, so don't confuse me sharing the story with my weakness or frailty. I needed a venting ground. Besides, strong people aren't impervious to pain and insecurities. It's all about how you get back up on your feet. But anyways, I'm back to my old self .... and I'm shoving that chapter back to the almirah. 😛

Why are you shoving your chapter to me? 😆 I am not as mentally strong as you 🥺

Oh, I just like to shove things back in the almirah aka closet when they make a mess. Figured it's about time I did that.

And I think you're made of steel ....... write it down on a piece of paper, put it in your backpocket and carry it with you throughout the day. 😆

Thanks for making me realise who I really am.

I also "unsent" the message cuz he's already with someone now. Do I really even want my DM showing up in a guy's inbox, someone who is very much taken, and who might have already shared his password with her? The other possibility of him showing my message to her for laughs is even more painful. I have NO regrets........... so, don't feel sad on my account. 😆

I also always knew he would date someone sooner or later. An attractive, hot, perfect, smart guy who knew all the right things to say could only stay single for so long before some beauty pageant winner swooped down on him, after all. 😑

I just didn't see myself getting THAT rattled about it. I seriously surprised myself.

Lesson #1: You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. You really do.

Lesson #2: Don't add them on insta if you haven't gone on at least five dates with them, let alone without meeting them.

Lesson #3: If you never met them, but made the mistake of adding them on insta, just delete them after a week or so, cuz they're neither your friend nor your boyfriend........ so, what does that even make them, really? Do you really wanna be someone's "fangirl" from a distance even though you turned them down?!!

The last one ^^ is what I'm beating myself up about, mostly. I became someone's "fan" without knowing them personally, after turning them down, no less...and they're not even a celebrity. That was seriously stupid on my part and completely goes against all the self-care slogans I swear by.😆

Well, you never met the guy, so you were liking a fantasy version of him you built up in your head, and now you're ruminating over the fantasy relationship you could've had, and when someone is unobtainable, it makes them even more attractive, but, real life is often disappointing, and the fantasies come crashing down, people often don't live up to expectations.

So cheer up, you haven't lost anything, you never had anything to begin with. Better things await.

Hello Heisenberg! So you read my story too. 😆 You're right, thanks for some of that reality check. I've also lost interest in some people after getting to know them, even though they're perfect on paper. It's all just my mind playing tricks on me and I'm aware of it ..... and who knows, perhaps he'd have flipped too if I'd found someone before him. I'll be sure to not leave anything up to my imagination next time.😆
