In my first year of uni I met a guy. We hanged out a lot and I genuinely fell in love with him. I did think I was part of a love triangle as he used to hang out with another girl too.
One day he asked me if I liked anyone, I said yes and to tease him, I implied it was someone else. Honestly, it was a stupid game and I got a stupid price. He asked the other girl out the next day and she said yes. I was heartbroken, but thought that maybe I misread the messages
Soon after another guy asked me out. He was madly in love with me. I didn’t really love him. I don’t think I would ever have said yes except I felt so sad and lonely. Honestly he was way below my league and I don’t think I ever loved him as much as I did the first guy.
A year later just before they moved away, we had a coffee. He said he asked me if I liked anyone because he wanted to asked me out. Apparently when I said yes to my current husband a couple of months later, he thought that I never liked him and he misread the signal.
