So this is the second time in 6 months that I've (26/M) been turned down like this. First was a lovely girl who I met here. We instantly clicked and things were super good but suddenly she told me "You deserve better" and out of nowhere just left. The second time is tonight when I told my best friend how I feel and I was ready for rejection like I know I'm not perfect but her response is " You'd be a good bf/husband but I just don't feel anything with you.". That killed me!
I don't blame her for rejecting me. She's still my best friend and I love her but this line. It just broke me. It felt like a backhanded compliment. Like I don't know what I am doing wrong. I feel like I should take a break from even trying to date anyone. I really want to date and be there for someone. I love to do things for my SO. I miss that a lot and when I don't have a SO, usually my friends are the ones who get spoiled by me. It's been a couple of years since I've been in a relationship but things just don't seem to be working out for me. Any advice would help. The good bf part is because I'm a romantic. I buy gifts for people I am close to. I go out and try to have 1 on 1 time. I guess I'm pretty open-minded. I'm not ugly, but I'm not a hunk either. I'm pretty average and have an average body.
