10 Things That Happen When You Meet A Good Guy After A Toxic Relationship . Thought Catalog

I felt irrational anger toward him for showing up to town and innocently, unwittingly enabling one of my close guy friends to get back with a toxic ex — just before he was set to fly back to the West Coast and completely avoid the aftermath. I also noticed he had the well-timed wit that all my womanizing exes had shared. But I do remember that he made me laugh in spite of myself and that a seed of something was planted that night.

But, try ignoring a guy and see what happens. It is an excellent way to get him and keep him. Carey Jane O’DonnellDating.

I once dated a really nice guy. He was funny, we had fun together, we had good chemistry — but something was off. You attract those who reflect your current state of being. When I think about my once nice guy, underneath our good times and our friendship was his lack of direction in his life. He always had big ideas, but never followed through with them. We found common ground, friendship, and chemistry because we were both in the exact same place in our lives.

Metaphorically speaking, he was like a mirror showing me who I was at that time. So ending it was really hard. I tried to get him to end it, and he never would. It was like giving up a good chocolate sundae on a hot summer day. But the more I stuck it out, the more it made me feel really yucky. When you give energy to a bad relationship, it only prevents something new to come to you.

So when I finally dumped the guy, it felt weird for a while. I missed him and we came close to reuniting on many occasions.
