A guy and I liked each other for a month or so, but it started with just staring and occasional hi's and small talk. Then finally like two weeks ago, the ice was broken and we could talk to each other freely. But then yesterday, I guess you could say I actively chased him. I went and sat next to him during class and we had a pretty decent conversation. We giggled throughout the class and yeah...
After a few hours, we got to hang out again at the computer labs when we were working on a lab. But the thing was... he started to act weird. Well, weirder than what I'd seen before. And because of that, I stopped liking him. I felt all sad and empty because he wasn't what I thought he was.
The ironic part is... I get home and I'm on another forum that we both go on and I see this post asking people what's the fastest they've stopped liking someone. I go to it... and it was a post by him. about me. It was a new account made like an hour ago and the username was something along the lines of 'dislike_____'... the blank not being my name, but my race. The post basically said that everything was going great but literally 30 seconds ago, he lost all his feelings for me.
I just don't know what I'm thinking anymore... At first, I was glad because I had given him all these positive signals and to suddenly stop liking him would be so awkward. But to actually SEE his post about me... knowing it wasn't even meant for my eyes... seeing the word 'dislike'... It sort of hurts...
I feel so empty now. I've still lost feelings for him, but the bluntness of his post... =/...

oh man.. thats really got to hurt. :l im so sorry you had to go through something like THIS.
i just have to say it. he's not worth it. move on with your life because there are plenty of fish in the sea =)
it will take time of course and time is the only thing that will cure you from this empty feeling.
this empty feeling, it's normal to feel like this. it just hit you so fast and hard what he did. im trying to put myself in your shoes right now and ive had similar situations before. it could be feeling empty or feeling betrayed, heartbroken. you loved this person so much and the next second, he's gone.
go out, hang with friends, see a movie, chic flick, just do something that will bring your mood back up and distract you from thinking about it.
another tip would be, as BAD as it sounds (it works to a certain extent), find someone else to distract your heart from. who knows, maybe someones been eyeing you lately :]
i think i wrote a lot of nonsense. sorry :x hope i helped.

Man, that must be rough. The guy must not be the right one for you then if he doesn't like you just for race. I think that's a bit.. harsh. It really is normal to feel this way after something like this happens, especially when it's under these circumstances. I think you should just try to find someone else and find someone better, you know? You don't deserve someone who doesn't like you just because you're an ethnicity that isn't even in your hands.
Try to get your mind off it for awhile and go out, have fun, play with some friends or whatever that calms you down! I'm sorry to hear about what happened though :/ I hope what I said helps though.

Well, since you lost all feelings for him already, what does it even matter? You were worried about it being awkward between you two, but now you don't even have to worry anymore. You're probably feeling this way, because it's kind of you got rejected first instead of you rejecting him. You thought you stopped liking him, but it turns out he stopped liking you too and that hurts your ego.

The empty feeling comes from this mutually affectionate connection that the two of you shared. But what made the feeling so strong is not from how it happened, but why it happened. He stopped liking you because of petty prejudices, which is not a proper reason. The emptiness is what should have been there had he shed some of his bigotry.

That's pretty darn messed up. Why would he write dislike___(insert race here)? That's just ew.
Anyway, who cares about him then? You shouldn't. Move on and ignore that jerk.

ok since he just lost interest in you just like that it shows that he never liked you that much to begin with, nor did you him. So it's fine, just get over it, don't think so much.

The rapid, minimal, and evaluative processing of the emotional significance of the sensory data is done when the data passes through the amygdala in its travel from the sensory organs along certain neural pathways towards the limbic forebrain. Emotion caused by discrimination of stimulus features, thoughts, or memories however occurs when its information is relayed from the thalamus to the neocortex.

I'm just curious. A lot of my friends are sort of racist. They're always hating on this race called Hmong.
But then again, perhaps I'm reading everything incorrectly.
