Dumped via text after four months of dating

Girl I've been seeing 28F just dumped me 26M over text during lunch break at work. Finding it really hard to keep going at this point.

Honestly, the signs were there all along, and I willfully ignored them. She didn't text me very often, often skirted plans with lame excuses. She constantly talked about how I was so much younger than her. And worst of all, I brought up being exclusive after about a month in, and she said no, but kept me on the hook saying it could develop into it later and that she "really liked me"

Yeah right. Stupid.

But I held on, because we had good rapport and she was really pretty and I desperately need somebody to love me. Because romantic love has been the only fulfillment I've ever gotten out of life for some reason.

Recently I had felt her pulling away, texting even less often, giving dry responses, etc. Very different from the interest she showed when we first started dating.

I should've broken things off the second she said no to exclusivity the first time around, but I ignored the blatant red flag and got my heart broken again.

I wish I knew why I'm not good enough for any of these people. "Oh, it's not your fault, you did nothing wrong, you're a wonderful person and you deserve someone who can give you what I can't"

Bullshit. You told me you were looking for a long-term relationship and you probably actually are, so just tell me what it is I did wrong so I can improve for the next person.

If I had to guess it's probably because I'm poor. I live in an expensive city so all the girls make good money, and I don't even have a car. I can almost guarantee that if I had a good career she'd be singing a different tune.

The moral of the story is when someone tells you who they are, believe them, and trust your gut with how someone treats you no matter what they say.

Talk is cheap.
