I am upset that when I thought I was just being friendly, that I was obviously giving off an impression that I was interested in more. I dissected the conversation to figure out when it changed and why. I still don't know. Now I'm questioning my entire set of social skills. I used to feel so safe as part of a couple. Now I feel vulnerable and unprotected.
Please don't assume you were putting off "more" vibes... there are a lot of predators who can sniff out and target people in crisis, distress, etc... people who are vulnerable... and prey on them.
Know what I mean??
