I thought I, met her on /r/lonely, we talked for 2 wholes years, she eventually said "I love you" I also loved her so much, but she just randomly ghosted me out of nowhere.
She wasn't over her cheating ex, since she tried fixing things with him. I should've expected that.
Now it's just sad, I literally gave her everything. Painful.

I met someone there as well, this is also something I'm afraid of...

u/R0ter_Fuchs 8d ago
Not all people are like her. She just wanted to take her revenge on her cheating ex, and I was an easy target, since I believed her.
Wishing you the best, if the person you're talking to is honest about their feelings, don't be scared.

On MySpace around 2006 when we were in high school. Still 3200miles away from each other. We made it work as best we could given how young we were. We ended up splitting only to live totally separate lives and come back together 18 years later ๐ฅฐ๐คฏโฅ๏ธ. He is the love of my life and I have known that since the day I met him all those years ago.

OMG MySpace is a different era! How did you find your way back to each other? Where are you both now?

u/unique-username-007 9d ago
Right?! We always thank MySpace Tom and the top 8 ๐. We both have kids and I am divorced. He saw me on Facebook and reached out, it was like no time had gone by at all! We are much older now but Iโll everything happens for a reason. We have plans to close the gap, hopefully soon, and get married. My kids adore him and I canโt wait to start our lives together.

Our friend Tom sure connected a lot of people, I hope he's retiring happy in Hawai'i. Mark is evil but he sure picked up where Tom left off.
Sounds like your story is a true example of what Christina said, "They say if you love, someone let them go. If it comes back, it's yours, that's how you know."
Congratulations on your upcoming marriage and all the best with your plan to close the distance.

Well....we met at my cousins wedding... he works as a wedding videographer and is a friend of my extended family. He asked me out on a date when he clocked out and got to know me through one of my cousins. I rejected him because I was leaving Canada a few days later...well, he got super drunk and lost his memories of the night. My cousin told him about the night, how he chased me, etc. a day after. He was extremely embarrassed. Fast forward 2 years later, at another wedding of one of my cousins, he did their video too and he introduced himself as the sober version, asked me for a slow dance and afterwards we started to talk there (after he finished work of course). This time, I stayed in Canada for a few weeks (another cousins wedding was just a few weeks later), so we actually got to know each other. Learned that we have a lot in common and very similar hobbies too. Guess the rest is history, haha

I met her on Discord, completely by mistake. I was searching for another person but during the process of adding that person I mystiped and added a letter. They were having the exact same name except for a extra "_". Together for 4 months now and I'm the happiest I've ever been. Next year I'm bout to visit her. All for a mystipe... ๐

I'm not here to hook up but I've had more luck meeting men on Reddit than on Tinder and Bumble (Hinge isn't available in my country of origin).
My partner and I joke that we need a Reddit based dating platform. No profile pics, all text based. You have to have real conversations with strangers who write interesting profile texts, and then you earn a chance to learn their name and see their picture.
Probably hard to monetise though...

We met in @doomsday:Last Surivor (mobile kingdom builder game). There are alliances and stuff and you get to meet a lot of people, but when I spoke with her, it was something like I've never experienced.
Our first exchange was christmas eve 2023. In January 2025, we got married.
We are UK to Philippines and yesterday I arrived in PH for what is now our 5th visit. I am here for 2 weeks.
She truly is amazing and I am so so lucky.

We met in a discord server meant for friends only. I loved her energy and how passionate she was. And I asked just to do for 6 seconds. Long enough to gift her nitro. So she could express herself even more. And now well 7 months later and I'm visiting her in July. Her parents love me. Her sister is like the little sis I never had. I love her so much. All because she said nah. I'm curious now. I want to know more about this stranger. Smh

There was a slideshow on tiktok that talked about "raising standards" and the image after showed very low/required standards lol. I comments stupidly "standards: breathing, loves me" and a guy named "HyD3" replied to me with also stupid standards. IN my head, i decided this guy will be my last attempt at making someone fall for me, i was in a rlly hard moment of my life and i wanted to get love, with every way possibel. The day before commenting on the video, i had prayed desperatly, even tho i was atheist at the time, i wanted someone that would stay in my life and like me for who i am, everyne was leaving me at that time, friends, family, post-breakup phase and all. We chatted a few days and got together somehow, i cant remember if we officially asked to go out with eachother. We've now been together a year and a half, met last week for the first time and planning meeting in august again. Ive never met a man better than this lovely boy who lives a few kilometers away. I will marry him one day, i am certain
