I have been having fun and dating around but the last four men I saw all picked somebody else and this makes me sad even though I didn’t see future with them. Any ideas on how to deal with rejections?

Just see for what it is: proof that they weren’t your person. You won’t be a second choice to the person who wants to get to know you. It’s okay that they chose someone different, because you would’ve done the same.

Thank you 🙏🏼

Don't think of them as rejections! If you're dating around then it sounds like they're just doing the same as well :)

I was dating around - and two different guys I was involved with kind of just ghosted me and ended up with someone else. I couldn’t wrap my mind around why bc I did nothing wrong. I figured it out later on though, bc the next guy that came along was my husband🙌🙌🙌🙌

Don’t dwell on it - take as a sign to keep living your life and enjoying yourself!

Ladies, love to hear your thoughts. I’m in my late 20’s with a handful of close gfs (most of them live far) but I have a history of losing girlfriends. I’m self aware to a fault and am very supportive/responsive but other than my core group, it’s hard for me to keep gfs around other than 6 month span. It’s happening to me again right now and it’s really hard, she’s going through something and pulling away/towards others when we have been VERY close before. Anyone else have this experience?

Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp
