My guess is that they’re insecure since they don’t fulfill their version of a masculine male. Men likely resort to this behavior in order to regain some sense of masculinity. It’s like a silent cry for help.

I hope you pick yourself up, block this loser and never compromise your standards again. Don’t give this guy the satisfaction of falling to pieces over this. You live and learn and keep leveling up.

These situations will keep repeating themselves until the lesson is truly learned.

What a fucking psychopath.

Please don’t blame yourself sis. He’s trash.

"The man in question just told me he isn't that into me but wanted to be lavish in romantic gestures just to make sure. "

Making lavish romantic gestures and then back-pedalling as soon as you show interest is very shady.

He sounds like a love-bombing narcissist.

Just to make sure??? Of what??? Males make zero sense.

Anyways, this is the learning process. You know where you slipped and you know you’ll keep it in check next time. This is how people learn. Forgive yourself.

Girl if he was "doing all the right things" then it makes sense that you caught feelings. Sis you are only human. Keep your chin up queen you'll be ok ❤

I work in physical rehabilitation, and one thing I always tell my patients is that recovery is, very often, two steps forward and one step backward. That's normal! It applies to being a recovering pickme, as well. Don't beat yourself up...as long as your overall trajectory is upward, you're good!

I had found FDS before this, but I too allowed myself to be love-bombed by a guy who later told me he wasn't ready for a relationship. I still was talking to and accepting dates from other men at the time, but I definitely had my heart set on this one LVM who couldn't even say we were dating. So, I hear you! We have to stay woke and not fall for pretty words and empty promises.

Thank you for the reminder. I understand wanting to make exceptions for a guy you like, but you should never HAVE to for the right one!!
