It seemed like yesterday, I was waiting by my cell phone waiting for his name to come up. I hid my phone at work just waiting and waiting.

It was embarrassing to the fact that I acted like I was five when I was talking to him. He told me he liked me and wanted me for me. I took it as attention and the fact that someone actually wanted me.

I never saw the warning signs and I never saw it coming.

I called my best friend and I told her all about him. I told her about the cute boy I met. I told her all the details and everything he told me. She was hesitant about it. Of course, me being me told her and myself that he was perfect. He was the guy who told me he was going to take it slow and that nothing was going to happen too fast.

It wasn’t until I texted him one day asking him if he was serious about things. I don’t trust people easily. I was hesitant especially after your best friend tells you that he’s playing you.

I got the response that broke my heart, “Listen, I have to figure out distance okay?” My heart broke. Here was a guy who no sooner than the day before and the day before that telling me that he wanted a relationship with me. I thought he wanted me.

The texts stopped coming after I cried and told him I was done. I still waited by the phone for the texts that never came and the snapchats that never came ether.

Soon after, he was a suggested friend on Facebook and I can’t help but stalk. I found pictures and pictures and then some random girl who put heart emojis on a photo that was posted while we were talking.

I soon later stalked her and found photos of him from a couple of months before to even recent. I couldn’t describe how I felt. I was angry, hurt, and upset. How can someone play someone like that?

How do you get someone to believe what you say to them and then basically just treat them like they are nothing?

After coming to slight realization, I found the title, “In a relationship with ______”

The anger kicked in soon after. I honestly couldn’t believe it. It didn’t have a date but I assumed it was long enough that he was talking to me while dating her. I first laughed while being angry because I couldn’t believe it. He basically cheated on his girlfriend by flirting with me and she probably doesn’t know it.

Then I realized, how it was so unfair. I realized from experience that when you love someone or even like them a lot that you don’t want to lose them for a long time that knowing something like that can destroy you. It can destroy you emotionally and even mentally for a long time.

I felt sorry for her because he isn’t the guy I thought he was and he probably isn’t the guy she thinks he is. He’s the kind of guy who sadly needs to get his act together and realize it’s not fair to treat a woman with such disrespect.

My advice and the reason for this, is be careful always. Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket. People break your heart but eventually life moves on.
