He said I was perfect for him, but he chose someone else?

A person's emotions aren't always clear. It must hurt going through that but you did nothing wrong. You gave him as much love as you could and in the end, you did your best. There will always be good and bad relationships; if you can give your best in the relationship then people will take notice. Never let anyone define who you are and your worth.

People change, idea of perfect is current and unreal. He didn't know you well enough back then, his opinion changed.

You're better off -- what he said was considered a soft let down. You are perfect for someone who will appreciate and love you.

Sometimes people don't know what they're saying, the heart with so much love will speak in superlatives, but you haven't seen the whole picture yet, you know? I know it's hurtful, but maybe you can take from it his sincere intention, rather than be disappointed by the loss. He loved you enough to say that once, you are lovable! We all come and depart from here (earth) looking to only give and receive love, I understand if you're disappointed -- after all, so close! Yet the joke is this place is made of love itself, every good and bad experience is only an expression of existence's and people's love for you. Look around, look inside -- you may be surprised!

Because he chose someone else, doesn't mean there was anything wrong with you. Whatever his reasoning was for it, understand that you could have done nothing to prevent it, and someone who really does want to be with you will come. Situations like these are bound to make you feel insecure, I understand, but the moment you realize that the problem was and is not within you, you will realize your worth and the kind of person you want to be with. Try not to compare yourself with others. Everyone is unique in their own way and have their own personalities. If you were not right for someone, you can be perfect for another - it's just a matter of patience, so don't think too hard into these things or rush them! :)

Seems like you're stuck in a saddening situation. I understand how it feels, and I know it's hard, but those are feelings we're dealing with. Maybe you're feeling anger because he made his judgement seem like a lie. Maybe you're sad he chose someone over you. It's horrible, yes. But life doesn't revolve around someone who left, dear.. And if you weren't perfect for him, you're definitely perfect for thousands out there. Dont be upset, and hope for the better. All of us are here for you whenever you need it. Don't rush things, the person who is made for you is coming up along the way :)

Rejection can be such a painful experience, but sometimes people who aren't meant for us take themselves out of our lives. Also, even if he said you were perfect for him, was he perfect for you? Do you want someone that would make you feel second best and prioritize someone else after leading you on? You deserve a more affirming love and it will come to you. And sometimes, it may not come from anyone else. Everyone comes to relationships with their own history that may cause them to act in painful or confusing ways. What's most important is building self sufficiency through self care!

Okay so i realized some guys are just so confusing and if he called you perfect but left you for someone else then he obviously isnt worth your time ! You'll find someone better and remember actions speak louder than words so the right guy wont just tell you youre perfect he will prove it . I can promise you the right one will come soon and you will wonder why you ever settled for less or why you were sad over a guy who was all talk and couldnt treat you the way you deserve to be treated! good luck

I’m sorry to hear he did not choose you, its always sad to see someone you care about so dearly choose someone else. Ive experienced this myself, and it is never something one may enjoy. If he said you were perfect for him, he was either lying or he meant it at the time only, meaning its no longer his truth. Try to focus on other things that arent him for a while, and know that you are perfect, you will find someone some day, remember that. He’s not worthy of being in your wonderful mind. I love you.

Just because you are perfect for someone doesn't mean you two are perfect together. If he was willing to pick someone else then he wasnt perfect for you and in the end he did you a favor. He could have wasted your time and kept you from missing a chance to be with someone who is perfect with you. Most relationships end when they are ment to so that we may learn from them and take what you have learned to apply it towards your next relationship. Which is what all failed relationships are. They are growth periods of discovering what it is you want out of a relationship.
