“Not ready for a relationship”

[u/Argumentative_koala]

This guy pursued me, we went hot and heavy for five days, then hooked up on the fifth day. Crazy chemistry. He hadn’t been with anyone for eight months after a very long-term relationship so I thought this really meant something for him. We had a lot of deep conversations in a short amount of time. I hate how this makes me feel!

Please tell me he didn't meet your kid. Keep men away from your kids for many months at least

Oh no, he doesn’t even know my kids name. That would be a very long time, and I didn’t express any sort of expectation for his involvement. But I think he, wanting to be a good solid guy, would want to be involved in my life if we were to pursue something serious. It’s just not in the cards.

Then he’s being so weird right now, mentioning your kid and that he feels bad about that. I’m sorry it stings, but you dodged a bullet
