Sad about a break up

I messaged an old crush from 15 years ago on Instagram, and initially, she didn't recognize me. After blocking and then unblocking her, she finally responded. Now in our 30s, reuniting felt as magical as our college days, nearly moving me to tears. I couldn’t believe the most attractive girl on campus was sitting in front of me: However, her approach was more logical, which was understandable since I was the one harboring a crush, and she hadn't known me before my direct message. Timing wasn't on my side, with the end of the year project wrap-ups, random family issues, and PSC stuff getting in the way. My responses to her messages were often delayed or lacked enthusiasm, especially regarding phone calls, due to my tight schedule. Despite this, she was incredibly understanding, which impressed me. She hinted that our situation was unusual for her, as she was accustomed to a whole lot more attention and pursuit from guys. My response was to question how those past interactions had worked out for her. Everything seemed fine, and she was understanding until one day, she called me, crying and accusing me of treating her like shit and being a robot void of emotions, during a three-hour conversation. Apparently her therapist confirmed I was a hidden douchebag/player etc It was difficult and shocking because I had just made the conclusion how amazing and beautiful she was, and I was on the verge of committing to her.

I would just leave and move on. As someone who has carried crushes on women that have never materialized from my high school days, I can tell you that it’s not worth it to rekindle relationships from the past. You’re in a significantly better place in life, and I don’t think this woman you’re seeing is the right one to solve your dating issues. Life can be lonely, but you should find happiness in loneliness and not in companionship. Best of luck! TC: 105K

Most Indian guys should be barred from having relationships.

Meta Vbtj01 OP Feb 13

I’m not Indian. Neither is she. Don’t want to drag Indian guys through the mud with myself.

What does blocking and unblocking do?

Microsoft spsntq Feb 13

lol .. that just shows OP has a lot off growing up to do before they can be in a serious / committed relationship.

Meta Vbtj01 OP Feb 13

It removed someone from your followers/following lists fast.

Is she really your crush you showed no emotions to?

Looks like you tend to live in your own imaginary world and not very aware of emotions of people you interact with

Meta Vbtj01 OP Feb 13

Don’t we all?

Amazon Dai-Osho Feb 13

No, those who don’t, don’t get surprised by people in their lives like you did. Use this as a learning moment in life and try to have deeper connection in your next relationship

Well didn’t expect to be bashed like this after sharing how I was dumped. But it’s blind. What did I expect.
