Subject: 21, and already completely disilusioned.
I have been on here before,talking about my previous relationship when my ex in 2010 and 2011.

Well, 4 months ago, i got talking to a boy i had briefly had a thing with in 2010, after which i got back together with my ex.

This boy was hurt at the time, and we didn't speak again, until last year, when we got talking and eventually he said he had feelings for me still, and if he had a second chance at it he would give it a go. problem (alarm bells) he had a girlfriend.

Queue 4 months of confusion.
regular contact, then none, regular, deep chats,then nothing. Then, development,December, he dump's her. He had always maintained that they rarely saw one another and that it had felt over for a while just neither of them had walked away. well, if you want to believe that.

Anyway, here we are, him and i spent all of December talking everyday, and i started to get real feelings for him.

Come January when were able to see each other as were back at uni etc, he's busy with exams and work, and we've only managed to see each other once.

I got a bit fed up and told him straight, why was nothing happening, and he basically said, "look i do like you and i do want to see you, i just am busy right now, we'll see in a week when this passes and go from there".

What's hurting me right is now the realization that i've waste 4 months on another loser idiot who told me he liked me, and spend all of Secember leading me on, talking about the future like it was definite. I am sat here now, having had another conversation where he made it clear in subtle terms that he is still going to be busy. He has said to me before, our problem is timing, were either both busy, or he was in his relationship, or i was in mine.

Anyway, i have been in some kind of dreamland hoping this was something real as he had portrayed it all along. Now i feel sick because my trusty gut feeling is telling me not only is this never going to happen but also, he isn't the right person and he isn't who i thought he was.

I feel so tired of playing these stupid games. I feel like maybe i choose the wrong men, or get into dramatic and crappy situations, part of me knowing their doomed. why? why would anyone get into something that is only heading for trouble. It's like self-sabotage, but i do honestly just want to meet the 'right' person and settle down.

Uh, so tired,and feel like crying.

You're 21! You are so emotionally young, at your age, many people aren't really ready to settle down.
You've also answered your own question, too. You're getting involved with timewasters, while all the while, knowing that they are.
I mean, you stuck around trying to get the attention of someone who had a girlfriend. You have to admit that your behaviour is hardly respectful of her feelings. So why whould he respect you? Not that he's behaved any better of course.
You have many years to get to know yourself, mature and make better decisions about how you behave and who to share your time with, so don't be so downhearted!
You've got growing up to do, and that's exactly how it should be in your twenties.

Thank you. He did lead me on throughout, or i would not have waited around.
I find it so hard to walk away from people, i'm easily manipulated, i recognize it yet still end up getting manipulated haha.

Yeh i do have growing up to do. I just wish along the way there would be less lonely times and more happy times.
