Right now I'm going through a tough period, where I finally had met a girl that I clicked with after a series of failed flings, but after a few weeks she told me she's not ready for a relationship, even though she was the one pushing for it.
Yes, it fucking sucks. Yes, I feel hurt, betrayed. Yes, I question myself if something is wrong with me. And yes, I am 100% down to experience that pain.
It's inevitable. You are not able to run away from it. The second you decide you want to find a companion through the journey we call life, you are exposing yourself to the risk of being emotionally damaged. There's no way around it. Every social interaction carries that threat. Whether it's trying to make new friends, finding a significate other, reuniting with you family, apologizing for your mistakes to somebody you wronged - all of these situations may give you a lot of emotional and mental pain.
You just have to brace yourself and face that risk. You can only avoid it by not stepping out of your room, and I think nobody wants this kind of life.
There's something that completely outweights sadness, tears and failed hopes - you truly will become stronger and wiser after every single bad dating experience. I feel like a totally different person when I compare myself to how I was when I became single 2 years ago, or even when I look 6 months back, I have learnt a lot about life, dating, myself. I failed a lot, yes, I was hurt along the way as I am hurt now, but this pain I consider a neccesity to eventually find the love of my life.
Just don't give up. Don't stop hoping. Take a break if you need to, but never ever settle for loneliness. Be willing to get hurt and push through it. After all, "to love at all is to be vulerable".
