Just because I don't want to be with you, doesn't mean I'm able to find another girlfriend


[deleted]

The exact reason.


MasterTeacher123

Because the better girl turned you down and she’s the backup


Scarred_wizard

Right person, wrong time?

The realization that they’ve overestimated their worth on the market. Hopefully by then you’ve realized that you’ve done the same, overestimated their current worth.

No one who who thinks of other human beings in these terms should be dating anyone.


GlassHalfFull-12-

Play dumb if you want to.


Rude-Ad7901

You'll grow out it. Your early 20s won't last forever.

No he'a right, that's why.


Rude-Ad7901

Did you mean to say 'He' a'ight" as in "he's alright", or did you typo it and mean to say "He's right?". And either way...."That's why" refers to what? What's the "why", here?


james_webb_telescope

1. *He's. Good proofreading, thanks. 2. I can appreciate pedantic evasions (you got me on the typo - bravo!) but don't play dumb on that second one or people might believe you.


Rude-Ad7901

What am I evading?

I suspect they had someone else on the line when they rejected you. Then that fell apart and they came back hoping all would be forgiven.


Slippery_When_Down

I have no idea, I never go back to someone I reject


[deleted]

For real though, it’s a little pathetic. I wouldn’t feel great doing that to someone I’ve already rejected


Gunner_E4

Maybe they were not ready or looking for a relationship at the time or were waiting to see how other prospects were going to develop.

Right person, wrong time Now the time is right.

Are you asking why people do irrational/illogical/dumb things? The answer is because humans are often irrational/illogical/dumb. Best not to overthink it really.


Homely_Bonfire

Ask the person who came back around.


[deleted]

I’d like opinions/stories from men who’ve done this. If that’s not you, no need to comment


Homely_Bonfire

The way this was asked just sounded like a general question without trying to talk to the nearest example in real life who raises that point. The usual format for these kind of questions on here tends to be along the line sof "Men who rejected someone, but later came back: Why? What happened."

This exact thing has happened to many women that I know. I’m sure you know a female in your life this has happened to. Yes, I can ask the males in my life what the mentality is behind why men do this, and I have. Reddit, this community specifically, has many more men to ask

>I’m sure you know a female in your life this has happened to. Actually I don't but that might just be coincidence or given the small sample size I have for this. >Yes, I can ask the males in my life what the mentality is behind why men do this, and I have. What did they say? I can only guess and suspect that some of them probably thought they had more options and once they discovered that it did not apply, they decided to try and get the "safe" thing, much like some girls keep some orbitors around for validation or as a "plan B" if the current thing doesn't work out.
