    It’s so nice to hear from you, I missed our conversations and your insights.

    I again find myself in a going through life stumble. I apologize for not keeping you updated with you on our past conversations.

    I found a new relationship in February 2024 and now in September 2025, I find that the girl I’m seeing cheated on me. We had been going through a rough patch for the past few months but this was something unexpected.

    I again seek your kind insights and support dear Anita.

    Hoping to hear from you

    Hi Anita, I understand what you’re trying to say, but it’s not about that she’s unavailable. It was never about that. I wasn’t even angry about it. I just felt a really strong connection which was reciprocated to me, I miss that connection with her. I haven’t been able to focus on my work for the past few days and just trying to get my thoughts off this.

    That same connection I haven’t felt entirely with SS. And I think besides feelings I’m starting to get attached to SS which I’m not keen of. I was never attached to EN.

     

    Thanks

    Hi Anita, hope you’re well.

    I understand, I also felt /feel guilty a lot of times for some choices that I made, but as I look back it was just me learning and doing my best with the knowledge I had. Thanks for clearing up your point of view in the previous message. I do want to make choices which never leave me feeling guilty.

     

    I have been thinking about breaking up with SS, she’s nice but it’s been some months since we started dating, and I don’t feel such a strong connection, it’s nice and non toxic but it’s not that strong. I still miss EN a lot and I want a connection like I had with her. That may take some time to find, but I hope it’ll come my way when I’m ready.

    EN and I spoke over normal calls for 4 months and I fell in love with her by just those talks, her brain, her way of thinking and etc. It was never just about how beautiful she is. I know I may be rambling on about her but I’m deeply confused about what went wrong. At one moment she expressed her feelings and in another moment she just let me go. I don’t want to make the wrong choice again about breaking up with SS and then feel guilty although I feel breaking up is the right thing to do.

    What are your thoughts on this Anita?

    Thanks

    Hi Anita, hope you’re well.

    I apologise if I sounded rude, that was not my intention. Journalising is a good idea but I don’t feel like doing it.

    Thanks

    Hi Anita

    Yes, goals are important right now.

    To be true in really don’t feel like journalising anything about her. I don’t want to do go through that at the moment, don’t really know why but I don’t.

     

    Hope you’re doing well Anita.

     

    Thanks

    Hi Anita

    I agree, that would be illogical.

    Yes, feels like I’m stuck and wanna still say a lot to her.

    I am glad to read that you are focused on your goals, and not rushing into a relationship! Yes, I’m glad about it too, this time I’m much more in control of my feelings.

    better approach the prospect of a relationship at a later time, when you are more prepared to manage the challenges of a relationship. Yes that’s exactly I had in my mind, right now I don’t want to through my attachment issues, I wanna keep myself focused on my goals.

    Thanks

    Hi Anita

    It’s kind of you to re-read our whole conversation again. There hasn’t been any news with EN. I still do miss her alot and many times I just think about her. Sometimes I feel like just texting her again out of the blue, but that will be really illogical.

    Apart from that I met someone else. I met her in February before I sent that message to EN. This new person let’s call her SS. She’s nice and sweet and she’s smart too. It’s been going well with her till now but I haven’t come into a relationship with her right now. I’m still thinking about it.

    Apart from that my life has taken a busy turn and I’m much more focused on my goals at the moment.

    Hope you’re doing well Anita.

    Thanks

    Hi Anita,

    Thanks again. I sent the above message with some small modifications. Sadly, she isn’t looking forward to a friendship, saying her new boyfriend may feel uncomfortable. I didn’t force her to think again and I’m accepting the situation. I had strong and have really positive feelings about her but looks like it’s time for something better.

    Hi Anita, thanks again for your thoughtful reply and I hope you’re doing well.

    I think I’m more clear of what I’d like. I think it’s better to stay as friends with EN (assuming she agrees) given the long distance. And I have framed a message and your thoughts on it would be appreciated.

    Text –

    Hey EN, well as every text starts, hope you’re doing well and etc etc. I’ll get straight to the point, you were on my mind recently for quite some time. I really enjoyed the conversations we had over the phone and I miss them. I know given the long distance thing you chose not to pursue it further and well the “you met someone else” lie was tactful, still I think it’s better to reach out and ask if you want to connect over call or something to catch up, let me know. And ik the disadvantages of a long distance relationship, but it’s never easy to find a genuine connection, hell it’s really hard. So I’m grateful we got connected, let’s try to stay in touch then if you feel the same.

    Waiting for your reply patiently Anita. Thanks

    Hi Anita, thanks again for your thoughtful reply. I appreciate it.

    Yes I do understand this tactic and i dont really appreciate it, its better to be truthful or honest like you dont feel a connection or the long distance is bothering me.

    But these feelings were not as strong throughout the 3 months, not same intensity, and your attention was often elsewhere. Same is true to her, her feelings don’t stay the same.

    I am sorry I could not understand what you were trying to say here.

    There is no basis in reality to this belief.

    I agree, all I can do is express my viewpoint one last time and hope for the best irrespective of what her reply is.

    What do you have to lose with this approach?

    I agree with this approach and at this point I got nothing to lose but I dont want to come off as desperate, so I am just trying to frame the right message which conveys what I feel in my mind and heart. Not good at writing or expressing my feelings, lol.

    I am not in a rush to text her. I need to first clear in mind if I want her as a friend right now given the long distance or ask her if we can reconnect romantically. Whenever I have the answer clear. Ill surely text her.

    Waiting for your reply patiently Anita. Thanks again

    I’m also in no rush to text her. In my mind it’s like it won’t matter when I text, if someone wants to stay in my life they will no matter when is the text sent or what’s it about.

    Hi Anita, thanks for your thoughtful reply. I haven’t texted her yet. Don’t know how to start the conversation with her, whether I should just write a whole paragraph and send her or to first ask about casual stuff first.

    I’ll tell you what I’m confused about. While breaking up she told me that because of the distance and the timings, its better we stop talking, after that I talked to her a bit and not much. Then after a few days she texted me she met someone else ( even though I know that she was lying because she does not generally date in her hometown). At that moment I accepted it, because I didn’t want to beg someone to stay or to accept me. I let it go and stopped talking to her. She hoped we could stay friends but I refused and said if I want to be friends I’ll reach out. It’s been almost 3 months since we talked and still I can’t get rid of these feelings. These feelings scare me but the though about her makes me smile a lot. I think that happens when you really like someone.

    What I’m confused about are my intentions to text her, I think I just want to let her know my feelings just in case I wasn’t clear when we were dating. It’s a risk that I’m willing to take even though I’m kind of putting my respect on the line. I don’t expect a relationship from her as I also think it would be really hard given the distance.

    Hope you will let me know your thoughts Anita. Thanks again

    Hi Anita, thanks for your thoughtful reply. I’m getting in touch with your through this forum after a long time. Hope you’re doing well and good.

    I have been feeling much better and started working on myself and my insecurities and already feel a lot better. I can say I have moved on from SK and now I think about it, it all was for good.

    I was hoping to get clarity about another relationship with someone I dated after SK, mentioned in my previous posts. Let’s call her EN.

    So I met EN through a dating app in September 2023 and we met only two times and then she had to go back to her hometown in another state. We stayed in touch and talked almost everyday up till December. It was nice and fun and I started to fall for her and she also started falling for me. I assumed this through the conversations we had and a few times she told me how she felt.

    We made plans to meet, I would visit her hometown in December. She’s still in college. Around November end she started to fade away from our conversations because she had her exams on the dates I planned to visit her. So she explained me it’s best to stop talking and I was not sure about it so I agreed to it then. Now it’s been a few months since we last talked and I miss her and the conversations we had. I feel like there’s a strong connection there but I don’t know how to text her or whether I should text her or not.

    Although she is really attractive and I don’t find myself as attractive as her physically. In confident that I’m consistently working on myself and feeling better and confident.

    My motive to get in touch with EN is not because of my insecurities and attachment problems but because I actually felt a really strong pure bond with her.

    Hoping for your reply Anita. Thanks again
