I met someone and I got really overwhelmed.
I met someone on Instagram, and I already knew we had different lifestyles, cultures, and pace, but I still decided to meet him because he interested me. When we met, I realized how hurt he is from his past engagement. his fiancée broke his heart, and he’s not really emotionally present right now.
I felt strange even going on this date, since I’ve never been on a date before and didn’t tell anyone about it. We met at a park near my house and talked for a while. I could sense something was off, but I didn’t want to end it abruptly.
After I got home, I suddenly burst into tears in my bathroom. I don’t even fully understand why, but I felt empty and somehow damaged afterward.
