Hey I just got rejected and I’m feeling really awful. I’ve liked this guy for a long time and recently found out that while he does like me he doesn’t want to date me. We had a short relationship a while back it didn’t end terribly but it wasn’t great either.
Now I’ve learned that my best guy friend and one of his close friends talked to him about us and he told them that both he and his dad think getting back together would be a bad idea. Hearing that broke my heart. I don’t know what to do with all these feelings. I know I need to move on and I will but it really hurts.
I’ve been pretending I’m fine around my friends and family but the truth is I’m not okay. I feel lost and could really use some support.

when i get hit with that kind of rejection, i try to let myself feel ugly sad for a bit. the crying, the “why me,” all of it. pretending i’m fine just makes it heavier.
can i ask… did you feel like you two still had unfinished feelings or was this more about hoping he’d finally choose you this time?
i had a guy once tell his friends AND his mom that dating me again was a “bad idea,” and hearing it secondhand messed me up way more than the actual breakup. it’s like this weird double rejection… not just him choosing no, but people in his world agreeing. i remember walking around pretending i was chill while my stomach was literally in knots. you’re not crazy for being hurt. this stuff leaves a bruise.
