I am a 23-year-old female, and I’ve recently found myself in a very difficult situation. In February 2025, I reconnected with a guy on Instagram after three years. We used to text years ago, and although I liked him then, I never gave him my number. When we reconnected, we clicked instantly. To give some context, I have never been in a relationship before due to commitment and trust issues.

​After a few days of texting, we finally exchanged numbers and began talking on the phone. He seemed very caring and shared everything about his life, including a breakup six months prior from a three-year relationship. He admitted he wasn't fully over it but insisted he didn't want her back. On my birthday—about a month later—he took me to dinner and surprised me with flowers, chocolates, and a necklace. When I asked why he did all of this, he initially said he saw me as a friend, but just a week later, he proposed a relationship. It felt far too fast for me, so I asked for more time.

​For the next month, he pressured me constantly, begging me to commit. I stayed by his side and tried to reassure him, but things took a turn when he invited me to his flat. After making out, he repeatedly pressured me for s\\\*x. I felt overwhelmed and hurt, and I ghosted him for two days afterward.i felt like he just wanted s\*x.When we finally spoke, he claimed that because he saw me as his girlfriend,he loves me, nd wanted that physical closeness.

​A few days later, the cycle repeated.he got frustrated when I declined again, . It was incredibly messy. He eventually told me he couldn't be in a relationship without a physical component, and since I wasn't ready to have s\*x after only two or three months, we stopped talking.

However, for the next six months, he kept reaching out, asking for forgiveness and trying to stay in touch as friend. I struggled to let go because I'm attached.i really liked him and we connect really well, but the whole situation and his past trauma messed up everything.

He admitted he wasn't fully over it but insisted he didn't want her back. On my birthday—about a month later—he took me to dinner and surprised me with flowers, chocolates, and a necklace. Despite the nice gesture, he seemed emotionally exhausted, almost as if he were suffering inside.

​Recently, he texted me to say he has patched things up with his ex-girlfriend. I am devastated. I’m still so attached to him, and it hurts deeply to think that my first real romantic experience has been this painful.
