So I (23F) met this guy on Hinge. I’ve never been in a serious relationship with anyone mostly due to the fact that I don’t think I was ever ready for one. We clicked and went on 5 dates before I straight out asked him what we were. He said he thought he was ready for a committed relationship but now feels differently. I was kind of bummed because I think we got along well but we agreed to stay friends. It’s been a week of no contact (which is fine) and I’m feeling a real lost because it felt really good to connect emotionally with someone. I don’t think I could go back to Hinge because it took a lot of work and I don’t think I could handle more disappointments. This whole experience made me realise how much I want a relationship and I’m really feeling the lost.

He said, “he thought he was ready” which indicates indecisiveness, don’t let someone elses’ lack of confidence drag you down with them. Also, I completely understand about the work required in cultivating relationships. But, anything worth having is worth working for, relationships too. If you wanna connect with someone I’m all ears.
The best advice anyone can give us don’t give up and don’t give in. If things don’t work out don’t settle just anyone. It’s worse to be in an unhealthy relationship.
