Guys can be confusing sometimes. In reality, no one really knows what they want. What matters most is whether you think he was perfect for you and if not then you must consider whether it is reasonable to continue to pursue him. Remember, we have all been through a rough time and been told that they’d never leave us. You’re not alone. Listeners here on 7 cups are available whenever you feel like you’re not okay. Keep your head up and don’t settle for someone who isn’t worth your time. One day you’ll find someone who shows you they love you and not merely says it.

One day he'll love you the next day he'll act like he never said that. It's what some guys do, they just think of it like a game and forget we have feelings too. The least we can do is to accept it and move on. We need to learn from it and not become too attached to him. It's lovely hearing such nice words from someone and it's comforting that you know they love you, but love yourself more first so you can pick yourself up quicker.

Maybe it was the timing of everything. Or maybe he was speaking of looks and not personality like maybe he did not click with your personality. You might be the greatest looking, but if you don't have a great personality things don't work out. So maybe you are an amazing person its just he didn't find something that was important to him in you, but in the other person. But he could have gone with the other person for some monetary benefit or anything of that sort. It could have been the timing of everything too. Maybe you two are great for each other, but it's just not the time.

He probably used pretty words: you deserve better. Let his actions speak for themselves. Maybe you really are a good match; maybe he is a good match with multiple people (you might be too). Whatever the compatibility is, he either (1) didn't know what he was talking about compatibility-wise; (2) was trying to make you feel better; or (3) other external circumstances got in the way. You probably deserved a harder honesty from that person. Respect yourself enough to believe you really do deserve better for yourself. Center yourself; heal; do things you like; whatever you need to focus on yourself for awhile--find what you can learn from time spent with that person, and move forward strongly. You got this

Sorry about that! But have you had the chance to ask him why? Is it circumstances beyond his control or was he just saying the lies to make you feel good. You may need to know so you can put your mind at rest and settle that part of your life in order to move on.

I'm not sure how to advise you. He has shown you that you're perfect for him but perhaps not what he was looking for. If you need closure, ask him WHY he chose someone else.

I understand what you are going through. If he chose to be with someone else, then you need to live with his choice. If he decides to come to you, then give him a chance, but do not attempt to change his mind once it is already made up.

People grow to know themselves, their needs and their preferences better. He might have seen or sees something different now.

Maybe he was confused. Some people feel as though more then one person is their fit. Maybe he was in love with that person, but loved you because you guys clicked.
