    Hi there,

    I have a situation and I really don’t know how to deal with it, right now I just feel like I am going to explode.

    I dated this guy for about two months now, things have been great and I thought we really like each other. We already get intimate and our last time together was amazing, so I thought a relationship is just around the corner even though we are not official yet(we didn’t discuss exclusivity either), but suddenly I was hit by this:

    I was browsing my fb this afternoon and I saw he posted this pic: him with another girl together with a very close pose, they obviously just played tennis and in the pic, he put his left hand around the girl’s waist and the girl put her hand on his shoulder, very close and they both looked so happy in the pic. I was devastated, I don’t get it, things were great btw us, why he is doing this? Who is this girl?? What should I do??

    I don’t know what to do, I know I am emotional right now so I am not gonna take any moves today till I calm down. But the thing is, I really don’t know what to do even after I calm down:
    1. How should I deal with this situation when I calm down?
    2. Do I talk about this with him? Ask him who this girl is? I know I have no right to do so since we are not official and I haven’t talked about exclusivity with him, but I get really furious when I saw the pic and can’t help crying, it’s just so painful since I really like him(I didn’t date any other guys)
    3. We didn’t meet this week, if he didn’t come to me or didn’t contact me next couple of days, should I contact him or just wait for him to come to me? We usually initiate contact with each other on a 50/50 basis.
    4. Should I casually mention this to him or seriously talk about it(eg, our current situation and relationship status)

    I am so pissed and confused and upset right now, I really can’t focus on anything else, it’s frustrating me so much. Please help me! Thanks!

    While I understand you are frustrated having a discussion may not go over well.

    He isn’t your boyfriend so he won’t see posting a picture with a woman as an issue. She could be a friend, a cousin, or just a tennis buddy.

    That’s the thing when you don’t gauge a man’s interest level in you before all your emotions get involved things like this can happen. At this point you are emotionally invested but you don’t know what page he is on.
    In this case I would just calm down and not say a word. If he’s planning on becoming official with you this could blow it. I say that because if a man questioned a picture I took with someone else I’d think he was snooping around, jealous, and controlling.

    You don’t wanna throw that vibe out there since things seem to be going well.

    Thank you! But what should I do right now? Nothing? Don’t even mention it next time I see him(if there is a next time..)? Can I just casually mention something like: how’s your weekend or I saw your tennis pic on fb, how was it? Do you think I can ask something like this to him or simply just don’t say anything?

    To be honest, I am pretty painful right now, and you are right: I don’t know where he stands but I am already emotionally invested, what should I do in my situation?

    I am so pissed because he never posted any photos with me on fb and now he is posting this! I feel so helpless and sad right now..

    Dont contact him. Please dont. You will blow it by acting girlfriendish. You are not his gf yet. He is probably banging other girls while you decided to be exclusive to him, big mistake to get oneitis for a guy you hardly know yet. You should have kept dating other ppl and not get so focused on only one guy. If you ask about the other girl he will get mad at you and twist everything against you. why dont you take a picture with some guy friend too and post on facebook? Stop stalking his social media and focus on yourself, maybe that girl is just a cousin or friend or one of the many other girls he is dating. It doesnt really matters who she is, what matters is your reaction, this is a sign that you are overly invested in a guy who is not exclusive with you. He is living his life and having fun, you should do the same. Pull away and get yourself together so when he gets in touch to you things dont escalate. Im sorry you are hurting, focus on yourself, your emotions, if you were his gf it would be ok to be mad, but you guys arent exclusive, best to pull away from him and meet other guys

    Take a few steps back and calm down.
    I still would not ask about this woman because you’re emotional and that anger will come out.
    I know it’s hard but, you’ve really got to take back control of yourself. Don’t give this guy and a picture all this power.

    Thank you, it hurts but I think you are right. I am overly invested yet and I won’t contact him. I sometime have this fear: Since we didn’t meet last week, I am afraid if we didn’t meet this week and that girl is one of his dates, then I will lose him with him and that girl getting closer. I don’t know… What do you think?

    Thank you! I won’t ask him about this woman, but do you think I could talk to him about our relationship status? Like what are we now? I really want to know.. Or do you think I should wait? I have this sense that if I ask, he won’t agree to be my boyfriend anyways.

    Why can’t you date another cute guy and take a picture with him holding your waist while you look extremely beautiful? You can post that to FB too.

    Hell there,

    Please give me some advice. It happens almost same to me. Ive dated this guy for six months and we are boyfriend/girlfriend already. We had a fight because he was really mad of having conversation to me and he was not in a mood and always busy. So I understand him in everything because he is an athlete that represents our country. In 1 whole month which is or sixth month is giving full of patience to me and understanding then I tried not call for 3 days then he fight with me again because he reason out his past attitude of me but he didnt listen to me and the effort that I did for him.

    Then I didn’t call him for almost a week that was august already then one night I called him and he said sorry in everything he said to me and everything he did and he said you know how much I love you and he said he loves me so we meet last Saturday we were so sweet and I feel loved then he sudden said to me that he just want me to give him a time he wants to be free in short he doesn’t want to attached. He wants me to be single which I feel like really hurt but I tried to respect him and I want to give my break to my self too but I did not tell that to him he said he loves me and Dont rush things between me and him and he told me that he will see me tommorw too. Then Sunday which we supposed the day we meet again he just answered his phone at night he said he was with a friend or friends. Then after minutes I browse Facebook then it appears his picture with a girl its not a sweet post but he was out of his character to post a pic with a girl because in our relationship he never post a pic on Facebook of our pic only in instagram. So when I see that I sudden cry and become really sad I feel betrayed and I just hope. I really love him and I Dont want to lose him

    I never do anything after that. I never confront him. What will I do? I never chatted him or text him about asking Whos this girl or is that a friend or ur new? But deep inside I am really jelous because I respect him as an athlete that his Facebook is not a love life matters for him but then I saw a pic with wacky post of them and a smile caption!

    I didn’t text him until now its only 2days ago when I see that. I quietly check the girls Facebook and theyre not even friends in Facebook the reason I get hurt too because I saw a comments saying “love life” then there’s telling “that’s nice cous you can introduce that to your mom” I was really get hurt bout the pic after that day I never text or call I was just think what did I do wrong or is there anything bad that I did juts him to do that. Thats in my mind but i didnt confront him to make him feel contollable or whatever annoying or awkward act. I dont know now.What will I do?

    Kennangirl- if you would like responses to your post it’s best to start a new one.

    Eva, that happened to me. Was with a guy for over 4 years. Our connection was an exclusive sexual connection. We spent w/e’s together every once in awhile, had a 3 day w/e during a Holiday and it was great. Then this blonde in his compkex showed up. I didnt know it at the time of the 3 day w/e. After that 3 day w/e he got distant with me. I tried reaching out to him as a friendly “hi” and he would ignore it. I told him it was best that he not contact me anymore! Then the picture on Facebook showed up. Yes, it hurt but I knew what he was doing. He did want her but he knew down deep it was not going to work. She was 20 years younger. We did get back together and he did tell me about her and it was a friendship because he also met her parents who like him because he could watch over her. Pictures of them appeared on Facebook a lot but I knew how he was. He was never close to her. He was mad at me. So what. We continued and then he asked me out to meet his close friends. We had fun. He introduced me to the blonde, her father and we were off to another bar. The blonde was freaked out. So she shows up at the bar while we are there, her Mom shows up and the guy I am talking about gets up to talk the Mom, introduced his friends to the Mom and not me. The blonde family leaves. The four of us take a group photo of us. Me and the guy very close. The night ended and I thought maybe things were moving along. Nope! He posted the picture of the 4 of us and edited me out of the photo. Ouch! But I just let it go. He thought he was going to get into a relationship with this blonde. To keep other details out of my story the blonde eventually got engaged shortly after that ouch moment. He was pissed as he should of because he was delusional. He remains single.

    So, my question to you is: do you want a relationship that might lead to marriage? If so, be ready for this type of behavior until you can figure out how to capture his heart.

    It is wrong what he did. I hate Facebook just for that reason. He can show the public that he is fine while you are so hurt.

    Please don’t contact him until you feel better! I’m sorry!!

    Calm down. You don’t know who this girl is and she is most likely just a good friend or a family member. Guys that are still looking around to meet someone and getting to know someone won’t post pictures of a girl that he’s just fooling around with as that might scare off other potential girls. That is just my opinion.

    You guys are not exclusive yet you are acting like his girlfriend. If you want this guy to run then by all means, ask him about the girl or mention the picture. He will know that you were snooping, no amount of trying to sound casual will fool him.
    And for the love of all that is holy DO NOT bring up the “what are we” conversation. That should be left to the guy. By doing this you will be the one pursuing him, which is not the woman’s role in a relationship. You are the prize.

    Just forget about it. Go out, have fun, you had a life before he came along, so get to it. If you don’t hear from him again then it wasn’t meant to be, nothing you can do about it.

    Maybe you should start going on dates with other cute guys.

    He is not your boyfriend. He is free to date as many girls as he wants, just as you are free to date as many guys as you want. Until you are his girlfriend, you have no right to complain. If it bothers you that much, ask him to be your girlfriend.

    I see, its an old post, but anyway: I think he is testing you… expecting a reaction

    so in these cases, stay calm and just say nothing…. its a test, if you would act jealousy

    I’ve just been in a similar situation. I’ve been seeing this guy on and off, it’s been a year now. But lately, for the past six months, we were exclusive sex partners.
    Lately, I wasn’t enjoying having sex w/ him because he didn’t want to do it often, we were having dinner out instead and watching a movie and sleeping together. Just sleeping and hugging…
    The thing is, I was feeling uneasy around him at these times. I care about him as a person, and I tried to show it, but the main reason for us being together was sex. I always felt like I was a guitar out of tune when I spent time with him outside the bedroom. He doesn’t get me, we don’t share the same sense of humor, and he’s cold and reserved.
    So I thought all weekend about how to say it in a soft and smooth way.
    Finally I texted him on Monday and told him that I don’t wish to see him anymore because having sex with him isn’t just fun like before, but I like him as a person and we can keep seeing each other as a friend if he likes to..
    I also told him that he should try to date a girl since he’s cute, and nice and the chances are he can be happier..
    He basically told me to shut up and stop giving advice since we were both grown up people , who are able to take their own decisions.
    This was mean because I had said nothing wrong! And I was browsing Instagram and I saw a picture of him and another girl he had already posted, right before I started this conversation! It was a date picture! The girl had reposted the same!

    So very hippocritical, he told me to shut up while he was actually doing what I told him!

    I was very jealous when I saw that picture but I think it wasn’t because of my feelings, it was just my ego.. I always thought of him as someone whom I can call and he’ll come over to give me pleasure. Now that’s gone, he can be with someone who actually understands him. I think I should feel happy for him. What do you think ?

    Yes be happy for him!

    In the future, it’s not really a good idea to tell a guy sex isn’t good…

    I doubt you’ll have a friendship…

    Raven : actually sex with him was very good, however I was feeling so awkward outside the bed. The overall relationship lacked sincerity. In time, having sex with him stopped being fun because of how I feel outside the bedroom.
    And actually he was already seeing another girl. So I guess the feeling was mutual..

    Ashley,

    You settle for sex with that guy knowing you feel no chemistry.

    You try to end it and he is rude with you.

    And now what? You feel jealous because of the picture ?…. Jeez.

    Sounds like you both were in a placeholder relationship. You settled for far less than you wanted.

    You can be happy for him. You can move on to someone who gives you more that sex. You wasted enough time on him.

    Polie, the problem is when you’re with someone who gives you more than sex, you get your heart broken..
    This is safer. No hard feelings.

    I understand.

    But in life if you want great things to happen, you have to take risks. And be courageous enough to face the outcome.

    You deserve far more than that guy.
