What is the best way to deal with rejection and heartbreak? I had met someone on here that I spent alot of time with to only find out that they were only messing with my emotions and feelings. How would you deal with this, would you confront them or would you just put it behind you and move on? I am so sick of being taken advantage of I open my heart to someone and allow them to come into my life. I can't help the way that I am maybe I am trying to hard.

That should work or either that put on a happy face?

I would put it behind me and accept my part of allowing it to happen.

First of all you can't fall in love through phone calls & email. At least I don't believe you can. Yes, you can sort of get to know them & then meet & see how it goes. But, I could never allow someone I haven't even met break my heart. Why confront them? You're the one who allowed them to enter your heart through a bunch of empty words written on a computer generated screen? Sort of like falling for a robot when you think of it!! To me they're not lovable subjects until I have met & gotten to know them in a real life setting, until then they are just objects on a screen!! People can be anybody they want to be & say anything they want to say on a screen. It's not always who they are!!

I think it's just life,GuardianAngelMan. Don't get disillusioned by someone who steps on your heart, or several someones, or even hundreds, I say. Having an open heart is what makes you who you are. I can guarantee you, that walking through life with a brick wall in front of your heart, not letting anyone get to know the real you unless they pass an unceasing amount of emotional criteria; is a very bleak existence to have.
So what if people hurt you!? I know that sounds cold, but what other way is there to learn in life? It's that "thrill of the chase" that we have, that creates moments and memories in our lives. Yes bad ones too, but life isn't always happy....unless you get a prescription (joke). The bad encounters will give you strength and fortitude. At least that's my opinion, anyway, good luck GuardianAngel, and keep on keeping on!!

she speaks the truth...

Even in person, if someone hurts you, look at it this way: they're just another person you can forget about, one more you don't have to worry about having in your life. If someone doesn't love me, who cares, plenty of others do and they're basically just a lesson learned and one step closer to finding someone worth while.

I agree-that is the best attitude to have.

yu have to get your manipulator antennae up.....
what u described is what women r capable of doing, men too. keep looking.

I want to tahnk everyone who responded to this post. It meant alot to me and I now know that I have to do. I am a much better person by all of this now and I know that sooner or later I will be able to look back on this and know that it was the right thing. Thank you all!!

Here's the deal. It happens to everyone of us. And you know what? You become the better for it. Stronger, more sure of yourself, more 'street wise' to look for true love.

I know that sounds like a dicotomy but it's not. Promise.

how very true i have been there many time's and it makes me stronger.but it's hard to believe someone did that to GUARDIAN ANGEL MAN,he is so sweet.

^^^LV bikini thats down! i like your style haha i try messaging you but apperently your mail blocks asain guys lol =D

love,Truth,and Power:

Truth is reality of the realtionship.
Emotions and Perceptions:
Relationships only have the meaning that one attributes to them.
Commitment solves relationship problems. A relationship is only as strong and lassting as the commitment of each party.A relationship strenthens when appoached with unconditional Love and weakens limited by conditional affection. A strong relationship is empowering, not only allowing but encouraging each other to be their best and follow their passions.

Still knowing this and reading this over and over, i have a hard time applying this to a on agian of agian relationship that i have had for the past year. My problem is communication with this person, when someone wont talk to you about problems but yet tells you that your there love! Talking about emotional sabotage....

Its not real until its real

You know what you do? You find that person when he/she is at a public place, walk up to them, unzip and just pee on there leg. When they ask "What the hell????". Kindly respond, "Well, you treated me like a dog, so I wanted to show you that you were right. See...pee on your leg. Deal with it". Walk away, and move along.

I would love to offer advice here but I am no expert. For me, I grieve, I cry, and then I think. About my part in the relationship, about what I would do differently and what I will do differently. Then I move on to me, who I want to be, what I want, what will make me happy.

Then? Well, I'll let you know when I get there.
