Has anyone else felt like they were led on? (dating, sex, friendship)

8 hours is nothing when you really want someone.

We had been working on having a relationship for a while, and he was supposedly telling me all about himself too.

That is what I thought too.

What did he tell you for you to think it's not working out? Did he just stop communication or did he say that he wasn't interested?

This recently happened to me, and I am wondering if I am just a bad judge of character or is this common? Do other people feel like someone has led them on whether intentionally or not?

Women have a very bad habit of doing this, of deciding someone should be a permanent fixture in our lives too early. You merely assigned too much importance to the exploratory phase of meeting someone.

Re-read your post again. This didn't "happen" to you. All the actions in your post were taken by you, not the guy. You thought you knew how the guy felt about you, when in fact you didn't. You weren't led on at all, you decided that your actions should lead to the results you wanted. Your actions didn't get you what you wanted, and now you are assigning blame elsewhere.

Get control of your emotions when you meet the next guy. He is not The One just because you enjoy his company early on; this does not make him your soul mate. Relax and give relationships time to build on their own time table instead of trying to force it.

He quit communicating after telling me that he had fallen for me. So odd. I am not going to beg anyone to be with me.

Give him the benefit of a doubt. Perhaps something happened.

I have read some of the threads on here, so I get the cynicism. I am not a drama queen. I don't fall for people easily. This is not typical for me at all.

Thanks. I have been trying to do just that. It has been too long now, though. If it was something really bad, I would have heard. We have mutual friends.

I am sorry, but these things happen in life and love. If it doesn't work out, there will be someone else for you. I get what you were saying. You were trying to be truly open with someone, and it failed. That has happened to many of us. You sound young, so I am sure there will be other relationships in your future. I hope everything works out for you next time.
