A man that I dated back in 2017 has just gotten married. I didn't find out about it until the wee hours of this morning (1am-2am'ish), March 15, 2024. He got married early December last year. The last time we spoke was in November last year. I shouldn't be bothered about it, but I am. 🤷‍♀️ Him and I have a connection that is rare to find these days, and regardless of how long we go without speaking to each other, I find myself thinking about him from time-to-time. He admitted he would think about me sometimes as well. I can't expect him to wait around forever for me though. When we met, he told me his goal was to find a woman to date, settle down and eventually get married. He finally got what he wanted, so why am I so emotionally affected by this? 😕

Maybe it's just the old memories coming to to bite you in the ass. I remember when my highschool sweetheart got engaged and I heard about the wedding date, I was incredibly hurt. I thought I was over her, but obviously it was just me lying to myself. Sometimes you just find those rare people in life that absolutely make an impact in your life and it's hard to let go of them. Deep down you know if certain things were different, you two would probably be together, but due to certain circumstances you aren't. Anyways, I hope you find peace, sometimes a disturbance such as this can take some time and true reflection to process. BTW, I read your profile, skimmed it at least 😂, - the reason an atheist would probably attempt to talk to anyone of any religion: While they may not believe in your faith, they will often times respect your wishes to continue practicing that faith, and even support you in your need for a religious community. Assuming no harm is coming from your religion, then there would be no reason they wouldn't respect it. All people are different, so this is just a generalization. You may encounter some people though who want to try and convert you, and they too will encounter such people. If everyone could just respect one another a little more, this world would be such a better place. Profile advice: You have too much going on all over your profile. I'm not dating, but some of the best profiles to process are the ones that give you just enough about the person to get you interested all while giving them a persona. That might be why you only had that old dude in your DMs, you are both young and beautiful so just fixing up the profile will go a long way.

Maybe you haven't yet accepted that it's not happening? Moving on takes healing, which starts with being honest with yourself and accepting things that you probably don't want to accept, in my experience. (edited)

Because you were connected through a pseudo fantasy, but fantasy doesn't need you to believe it to feel inviting. Once your emotions are allowed to swim in that feeling, it's jarring when reality demands you to get out of the pool. It's a connection lost, a weak connection. You seem to be sensitive to that feeling no matter how minor.

It sounds like you feel like you missed your chance. Best thing to do is move on. If you're looking for closure, this is it.

Ditto! Maybe I DO need psychiatric help, but at least I don't lack empathy for people like you do! Imagine if a person got a phone call THIS MORNING that their dad died, you'd probably be telling them this afternoon to get over it! 🤨 That's basically what you're doing to me! 🤷‍♀️ Just because the man I used to date and STILL have feelings for got married December 6th doesn't mean I'm going to instantly get over it, especially when I didn't even know he got married until today! I, literally, found out this morning, and you're telling me to find other men to date. 🤨 I checked my inbox 5 minutes ago, and I have ONE new DM...from a 66 year old man! Like, really?! 🤨 (edited)

Addressing Negative Behavior on B00

I've observed that some new users have joined the platform, leaving negative comments that seem intended to stir up unnecessary controversy. In response, I have blocked several of these users over the past few days and reported those who used distasteful language. B00 is not a place for negativity... read more

Why don't we ever tell secrets on a farm? Because the potatoes have eyes, the corn has ears, and the beans stalk! And if the carrots overhear anything, they'll just spill the beans to the whole garden! So, when it comes to dating, it's like being on a farm –

🌹 Was I just a fleeting thought, a bookmark in your unfinished story? Did my love not anchor you enough, or was it too heavy to bear? I gave you all the pieces I had, fragile, trembling, yet whole.

Has anyone else noticed that this app is basically ghost themed? As in ghosting, or getting ghosted. It's literally called Boo, a thing that a ghost says.

How do you handle finding out that a man you still have feelings for has recently gotten married? 😕
