People Divulge Why They Lost All Interest In Someone They Were Pursuing

CW: Domestic violence.

Losing interest in someone is a part of life.

It can happen in an instant.

You can be madly in love at midnight, and then at 12:10, you're running like Cinderella on fire from the ball.

"Let them keep the shoe!"

Pursuing someone isn't easy.

Because love isn't a guaranteed win.

And the more you learn, the less you may want.

It all can be a cruel universal joke.


A deleted Redditor wanted to hear about the times when the pursuit needed to end, so they asked:

"What made you suddenly lose interest in someone you were pursuing?"

I lose interest all the time.

A sneeze can turn me off. #foreversingle

Squeaky Clean...

"After dating a woman for a few months, I took her out for breakfast on her birthday with plans to see her again that night. She went completely off the radar only to emerge the next day to confess that she had spent the night in jail for violating the restraining order placed upon her after assaulting her previous boyfriend. Hit the eject button pronto. Never looked back. I was completely caught off guard because she held a very prestigious job, had extensive real estate holdings, and presented as squeaky clean."

No Womb For You

"After the second date he said he can’t wait to put a baby in me. And when I asked if we can get to know each other first he said he doesn’t have time for a 6-12 months courtship. He already knows what he wants. Anyway... I did let him know I’m not a womb for hire, and never talked again."

No Reason

"Yelled at someone at a party for a miscommunication that was no one's fault. I get it, it was frustrating, but she just yelled at this woman for no reason."

KaRue3

"This is a reason why a standard question for me when starting to see someone new is 'What are the odds you’ll yell at me in public?' I always phrase it almost like a joke, so the way they start saying in what situations they would definitely yell at you will tell you all you need to know. Sometimes it’s very obviously a joke, and sometimes it’s obvious how dead serious they are."

"I realized he was using me for favors. He was always needy, but never there when I desperately needed him."

Human Garbage...

Difficult People Reaction GIF by HULUGiphy

"When he stopped talking to me after I didn't send him nudes, turns out he asks multiple girls for nudes, then sells the pictures to some of his friends. A complete human garbage, if you ask me."

True Evil

"They hurt my dog."

"Now, I was into this guy for a while. Bigger guy. Seemed really sweet. I invited him over after we hit it off, and my dog, being a dog, came up to see this new person. He responds to this inquisitive sniffing my kicking them in the face, and seeming proud of it, saying that you 'have to show a mutt who's boss.'"

"I told him to get the f**k out of my house and never come back."

"I'm still very single, but my dogs haven't been hurt like that since."

Cheater

"They started flirting with my best friend."

Minibersy

"I was the best friend and I didn't even do anything but it killed our friendship. We were young so looking back I think it was just emotional but damn. His girlfriend was being an a**hole to him but he saw me as the problem. It made me feel so Go**amn helpless at the time. Everyone treated me like I was a cheater. Like I led her on."

Pencilowner

"Oof been there, my BF told me he was in love with my best friend. thankfully he told me at the exact time I was already planning on breaking up with him."

Keep Looking

red flag GIF by Steve Harvey TVGiphy

"The biggest red flag for me is pursuing someone who loves attention on themselves but is not very interested in your life. Basically drop the pursuit right there and look for someone who is just as interested in you as you are in them."

Always follow the red flags and save yourself the trouble of becoming emotionally invested in someone troublesome.
