I'll try to keep this short. I need a solution if anyone has one...
I broke up with my ex girlfriends a while ago--had to leave the state I was in just to be far enough away from her to leave her alone and make sure I never talked to her again.
I get to this new city where I don't know anyone. Last night I go on a date with a girl from an internet dating site. We have fun, we hook up a little but don't have sex. She says she'll text me tomorrow (now today) and we'll hang out again. She seems all about it. I know things might have moved too fast but she was into it.
Today, she doesn't text me so I hit her up basically saying I can hang out if she gets back to me within an hour or so because she lives a little ways away.
The details of all this really aren't that important, what's important it how upset I am over this seemingly innocuous event. Maybe she is busy, maybe she is just a space cadet and doesn't return messages. But I can't help but feel like $#%^ over it. I lost all the energy I had gained, I was in a good mood earlier today and throughout the day, but as soon as I felt that sting of rejection I got zapped... I want to cry. I JUST MET HER YESTERDAY. I feel so stupid for getting upset like this.
I was diagnosed with BPD a few months ago and didnt think I really qualified but this whole event is making me rethink that... I guess what I would ask the forum is if there is anyone here that can identify with this AND is this indicative of BPD? I just feel like I will never meet anyone as hot as my ex, I can't even get with this girl who for me is a 6 or 7 (but would have been a good rebound). I didn't want to date her or anything, I never had delusions about a long term relationship (like i've read typical BPD people have)--I just wanted to hook up with her and maybe go on some casual dates.
I don't know what else to say, if I need to clarify anything please let me know. I am dying inside here I don't want this rejection to turn into a drug use binge (have reacted that way in the past--it's like if I can't get the validation I need from the girl I'll just get obliterated on drugs so I don't care). I'm lonely. I only have 1 friend in this new town and it's a fat girl (sorry to anyone with weight issues I just need to be honest)--for some reason this makes me feel worse about myself. Like that's the best I can do. I can tell she's interested in dating me but I don't want anything to do with it.
To me, my ex was the best I've ever gotten and the best I'll ever get. Even the rejections or non-responses from the super hot girls on these internet dating sites are starting to get to me...the best I can get to respond are decent looking 6's . ###$ my self esteem, but WHY? I know logically that none of this should matter. I'm bound to find someone eventually and if I don't it shouldn't be this big of a deal...
And now this is getting really long so in the hopes that one of you will actually read it I'll leave it at that. I know this sounds super crazy and I'm sorry it's so disjointed I'm just struggling to put it all together...
Thanks..looking forward to your thoughts.
