After ending a serious relationship, I was heartbroken, angry, confused, and really didn’t want to be alone. You and I got along well enough, the sex was hot, and we worked… at least for a while. I knew it was never going to be long-term love, but I needed it anyway. In other words, I kind of used you… but I’m not sorry.
- You helped me heal. You were exactly what I needed in my life after what I lost. It makes the healing process so much easier when you have something (or someone) to distract you from your heartbreak, and you were the perfect thing.
- Talking to you made me feel wanted. Having someone to talk to like I used to with him made me feel tingly inside because I knew you liked me. I felt satisfied knowing that you actually wanted to spend time getting to know me.
- You were nice to me. After having so much stuff thrown at me, it was so nice to hear kind thoughts from a guy. That alone made having you in my life completely worth it.
- You made me happy. You made me laugh, you got my jokes and embraced my personality. I was so thankful to invest my time with someone who was so down for who I was and wanted to be together as much as possible — even if that wasn’t my plan.
- You let me express my pent-up anger. I was able to complain to you about how I felt and why I was hurting. You listened because you liked me so much. You thought we were bonding, but really I was just venting.
- You were interesting. You weren’t my type and I liked that. You were over-confident, edgy, sarcastic and had an attitude problem. I liked the challenge of figuring out your story, and I think you felt the same about me.
- I felt special. There’s no better feeling than being with someone who is all about you. You complimented me, remembered the little things and made an effort to see me. It was nice being able to have someone to lean on when I felt I needed it.
- It was new and exciting. Being with you helped me remember how exciting it is to be with someone new. Ultimately, I didn’t want to be with you long-term, but it was great while it lasted.
- There was no pressure to get serious. We took things slow because I wasn’t ready. It was new and we were still just in the “talking” phase, so there were no expectations. It was so refreshing.
- Even though you weren’t aware, I knew it wouldn’t last. I couldn’t have asked for a better rebound. The truth is, I didn’t take you seriously. You were just what I needed to get my head straight and move on. I will always be grateful to you for that.
