I Have Never Been In a Relationship

31 and no real relationship. The one guy I was with for a year, it turned out he was living a double life. So... Was he really in love with me? Was I really in love with him?
I've erased that from my life and since then I've been unable to trust men. Been almost 10 years... Wow.

Trust your mind first, then trust your heart.
If our heart controls us we are setting ourselves up for heartache and pain. Our heart wants to believe all people are good and have the best intentions, unfortunately in this day and age we all know that's not true. Use you head, use you experience and your intuition to get to know someone first, don't fall for their charms and empty promises before knowing what kind of person they really are. Once you've made that connection and built a friendship of trust and understanding, then see if there's something your heart can trust.
This is completely ass-backwards from what I want to believe, but it's at least a safer alternative.
But it's not very damned romantic now is it...!!!
You know what, trust in you...there now I'll shut up.

I have never really been in a serious one either; merely been too afraid. I have tried half heartedly here and there, but with nothing to so for it. The last one I did was a somewhat serious, but she had just been engaged (don't know why she jumped right out into things afterwards). She still had feelings for her ex and should have gotten over him first. Currently, I am starting something new and declared that it will go through no matter what the outcome since loneliness has sickened me enough already.

It's up to you, to emulate what you want in a relationship.
When you do that, you will attract (and refract) like minded souls.
BUT you cannot be a recluse.. You HAVE to socialize to show yourself off.. So think about WHAT you'd like to associate yourself with??
What groups.. What life style associations.. What religions.. What financial bracket... etc..
Then get out there and join some clubs, volunteer some time..

Aww im sorry

@MovieMusicGal thats not good at all, but you will find that kne guy that turns it all back around
@MovieMusicGal What he did was so wrong. But stop giving him the power to control your life still! Trust takes time. Do you need to see a counselor? Someone to talk you through this. You could do it on your own. Won't be easy. Don't let that one ass-wipe determine your love life for the rest of your life!

@MovieMusicGal Guys like this ruin everything for all of the rest of us (on top of the damage done to their former significant other). Well, it's not just guys, a lot of women do this crap too. Either way it's tragic and sad. I know it doesn't mean much, but not all of us guys are untrustworthy. I wish you the best and hope you find better.🤠

I had never had a girlfriend before my last girlfriend. She gave me my first kiss and first sex experience and then in the end, it turned out she was cheating on me.

She wasted my time, so I get how you feel.
SubZeroSlays808 · 26-30, M
Exactly. People who can't face up to the truth, because of potential confrontation are cowards.
@MovieMusicGal Because all people are not like you. You have to stop thinking that they are. Then it will hurt less. You have to move forward, girl. Ten years is too long to feel this way.

@PoetryNEmotion I agree on one thing: "You'll end up disappointed if you grow up thinking everyone has the same heart as you do."

I’m almost 31 and I’ve never had a relationship before, real or otherwise. But it’s not because I don’t trust women, it’s because the girls I want to date never want to date me and I’m not ever romantically attracted to the girls who do want to date me. Just bad luck I guess. That or I’m just not attractive enough to be as picky as I am.

Maybe god has thought something very special for you, as you are special too..
All men are not same. Love yourself and love your family. :)

Oh, that guy hurt you badly it seems. Both may have been true. He may have been in love with you but not capable of making you the priority. That's what hurts. He was either cruel or weak.

That was not your only shot at love, but I can see how it would make it hard for you to trust.
