This year I’ve had my fair share of lays over 28 since New Years . For context I’ve maxed my smv out in the looks department, my game obv could always improve but it’s solid, if there was an area I’m lacking it’s be financially especially after COVID but that will improve I’m sure of it. I’m pretty decent at remaining stoic although I feel I that’s an area I’d really like to improve.I hate to admit I have a pretty large ego but I’ve become rather good at hiding it, I don’t brag about my conquest and I’ve had some great success playing the field especially over the past year.

Here’s my dilemma. I know it’s advised against in this forum but I want to take a shot at an ltr. I still have 2 in the kitty fellas but one girl has checked out to be pretty good one except for a slip up. I’m having trouble deciphering the situation as I feel I have played a role in facilitating this problem I have.

I started seeing her in may as FWB. I left the situation ambiguous as possible so she wouldn’t get attached to me to quickly giving me enough time to size her up for a potential ltr.

In early July I decided to cut my plates and move forward into the process of qualifying her deeper for an ltr whilst I became emotionally invested which I feel kind was a mistake but hey hindsight is 20/20. During this time frame she fucked someone else. Dude is much lower in smv and as I understand it her friends played a strong role in pushing her to do this as a result of my higher smv and the fact that “ I must have been fucking other girls”. However She is the one who ultimately made the decision to spread her legs. I just found out about this now.

The problem is that I did not make my position known. I never expressed my intentions whatsoever and even implied I was with other girls without directly saying it. This leads me to believe had I thrown her some sort of bone this ONS wouldn’t have happend yet I can’t just let it go.

Do I drop her , or is this my fault and I played this all wrong. Her actions actually indicate a strong current emotional investment in me as she confessed thinking it was nbd because she thought I was still playing the field at the time(which I did imply)How do I proceed. Thankyou advice is much appreciated.
