She tells me to be patient and just wait for her but it’s hard. She wants me to be more than just a rebound guy and will be ready for a serious relationship. It’s just hard to wait and I’m worried she will find someone else. She’s told me not to worry but I haven’t exactly had the best track record with my exes. I got cheated on at least five or six times and she knows that. She promised me she won’t do that to me and said “just stay strong it’ll be worth it sweetie”. I trust her but it worries me still you know?
I'd move on. I hate when women play that game

Re: Hard To Be Patient
She eventually came back into my life a couple of months later and expected to pick up right where we left off... I was a little offended of course since she'd basically been ghosting me for weeks, but I still liked her and wanted to give it a shot. Turns out she really was just scared, and a lot of our issues were just big misunderstandings. Long story short, we've been happily married for 16 years now, and I'm glad I was patient with her. Turns out that was one of the things that won her over. I mean, where else was I gona find someone who thinks a perfectly acceptable anniversary date is to go see a horror movie, and then hit a haunted house afterwards? I hit the jackpot and I know it.
Obviously my wife and your friend are two completely differen't people, so I can't say for sure if she really just needs time or if she's just messing around with you. At least she's being upfront with you about what she wants. One good thing about being friends with someone first is that friends are more likely to show you the person they truly are, so hopefully you should know if she's the type of person who would lead a guy on.
Ultimately, you can only do you. If you feel she's worth waiting for then try to be patient, It could be worth it in the end. If you feel like she's jerking you around, you might want to consider moving on or just staying friends. You know this person better than any of us do after all.

Re: Hard To Be Patient
Relationships can be rough. I agree with giving her space to "heal". I don't know how long she may need, but if you feel she is worth it, then give her the benefit of the doubt. Best of luck to you in finding happiness.
@jasn88cubs
I've never been a fan of mind games either.
@SonofOdin6039
I've been telling people for years that if you get cheated on, it's the cheater that has the problem.
@I'm Not a Goalie
Your story is an inspirational one.

Yeeeeah sounds like she was gaslighting you.Trekapedia wrote:Well, now she said since we work together, she doesn’t want it to be awkward if we were to break up. She told me I will find someone and deserve someone better than her. I hope so because it’s hard to believe when I’ve been cheated on by five different girls.
The concept of Red Flags is to help indicate ones insecurities/toxicity
It seems she just wanted a casual fling...how would working together make it awkward? That is called "Avoiding" it sounds like she prefers you guys being fuck buddies instead of boyfriend and girlfriend.
You dont deserve such a person in your life! You deserve someone who is on the same level of loyalty, respect, and honesty as you are.

I can do better and I just hope I can find my soulmate. I always say I’d like to find the Lois to my Clark and I hope that’ll happen someday.
Too bad for Her bro……and you will find that person you are looking for…….It will happen.
Look for someone with whom you have common interests in or someone who respects and appreciates what you do and love to do…..
I usually don’t like giving others advice about people I don’t know anything about……and especially don’t like giving others advice on what to do in relationship situations but the more you posted about the situation the more I got the vibe she prefers to keep you at a distance whether it’s because you are always there for her and she isn’t looking for that right now or because she doesn’t feel the same way you do.
The issue I have was you said she kept saying things like after she “heal up” from the last relationship or that you “should be patient” and “that it will happen” and “worth it.”
These kinda statements are red flags for me I understand wanting space after ending a relationship and people are complex and all that but we still have core instincts base feelings….. you know if you have feelings for or are attracted to someone in or out of a relationship what makes us more than animals is knowing better than to act on those feelings and instincts…..my gut tells me she isn’t in the same place as you and wanted to keep you on the hook waiting for her when she is ready, your best bet is to move on and show no more interest and keep looking for your soul mate… she is out there or this one will see what’s right in front of her and will make a complete 180 in your direction…. I don’t know if she is the one you are looking for only you will if that happens.
Either way I know you will find the right person for you.

You dont need to be on a hook for someone is just fishing and baiting for a "Shoulder to Cry on."

No one deserves to be Cheated on.SonofOdin6039 wrote:Also, Fair Play, I thank you for your kind words regarding my cheating ex. It's a long story, but the summary is that it left me feeling like a loser, but the truth about her revealed itself and I was able to bounce back and get back to a normal life. So there is always hope. Cheers, and game on, my friends
You and everyone deserve someone who is loyal, honest, and loving.

Re: Hard To Be Patient
The office isn't the place for playing grab ass. If it ends badly you could be looking at problems you could live without. Work can be stressful enough without the added HR nightmare a work relationship gone south can visit upon you my friend. Depending on the type of job you have could mean work romances might be deemed improper anyway. Speaking only from my own experience
Being retired ARMY it was against UCMJ for NCO's to even associate with lower enlisted out of a military environment. Same with Officers and enlisted men. Not to say your job is to that extreme but even in the civilian sector rules are most likely in place. I'd check with your HR department for guidance on said matters.
Be very weary and go with your gut on matters of the heart. Take care what you allow as far as behavior in others. Your teaching others by what you allow and don't allow in the way of how they can treat you. Trust but verify, gaslighting of any sort is unacceptable. Be safe.

Very true....remember a shoulder to cry on, becomes a dick to ride on.
