I'm not gonna lie to you, you have issues that need to be worked out with a therapist if you are pushing people away and deleting all their info just because you are afraid they won't like you anymore. That would be like slicing off your fingertips because you're afraid of getting an ingrown nail.

I'm not saying this to make you feel bad or be mean, but you should really work through those before you try to date people.

This is such sage advice. Please get therapy for your past trauma so you don't end up doing these kind of things again.

Oh they are definitely right. You need to see someone to work on your insecurities. They will continue to ruin any possible relationship if you don’t.

Yeah, as I've agreed with literally everyone who's said that already

I have never had a phone statement and wouldn't know how to get one

Guyver2030 t1_jeaorkj wrote

Should have an email, or login to your provider and look at a month you were texting and all the numbers you texted in that month should show up. Alternatively call your provider and query the texts sent and write down the numbers given compare to your address book. Also your Gmail will hold all contacts you have had

Bi_Bibliophile t1_jeap9j2 wrote

I don't get emails, all the stuff for my contract is on the networks app so I can just check things through there. I looked for the specific months statement but like I said, it just said how many texts I'd sent.

Not sure where you are or who your carrier is, but contact them directly. They should be able to help, if you are really interested.

You have an account, login and view past bills. Or contact your carrier. They can provide it.

What is enby?

dontlikedefaultsubs t1_jec0j58 wrote

A phonetic spelling of 'NB', an abbreviation of 'non-binary'

patchinthebox t1_jecarix wrote

What exactly is NB? Honestly trying to learn. I really don't understand it. Is it like you identify as both male and female at the same time? Or neither? How can it be neither?

0

dontlikedefaultsubs t1_jechct4 wrote

I'm not trans so I can't speak for anyone who is, but as I understand it

  1. male and female are biological terms so you can't really choose to be one or the other. The overwhelming number of people are exclusively one or the other. There are some rare cases of people who are biological both and some who are biologically neither. BUT

  2. Non-Binary can refer to an individual not identifying as man or woman, or masculine or feminine, which are societal constructs and malleable through time and geography. It's not something I fully understand but I don't understand Korean at all and I'm not about to say that language doesn't exist.

It's complicated and messy and something you'd be better off asking somewhere else

He probably dodged a bullet. You're not in any state to date anyone.

"Really I was just worried that if we did meet he wouldn't like me anymore and I'd be let down like I have in the past "

If that's the thought process going through your head before you even go out on a date, you've got no business being out on the market.

9

Bi_Bibliophile t1_jeb593y wrote

You're honestly probably not wrong, although I'm sure a lot of people have doubts before they go on dates. They're probably just not as reactionary as I was which is an issue all of its own anyway.

2

Ragnarotico t1_jeb689y wrote

No, honestly your thoughts are not normal or healthy. Feeling some nervousness before a date is normal.

Normal thoughts are "does my hair look good, will they like my outfit, I hope I don't talk too much, etc."

Your thoughts are "this person probably isn't going to like me and I'm going to be let down like the past".

Normal people have some trepidation on what is to come, but they still go on a date.

You have these intrusive/harmful thoughts that are indicative of something deeper seeded that you might want to figure out or talk to a therapist about. It's not just mere thoughts. It's also affected your actions which is really extreme.

You've provided no indication that this person was anything less than friendly/respectful. To delete someone's number entirely is a very strong reaction to... really nothing at all. Unless he was texting you dick and butthole pics or saying disgusting things, I don't see why you would delete the text thread either.

7

Bi_Bibliophile t1_jeb7o3x wrote

No I see your point, the way I was thinking ultimately made me mess up the entire thing and I won't be looking to date anyone again any time soon. No point putting anyone else through that again, at least not until I figure out my own issues around dating. And no, he was actually really nice and very confident about the entire thing whereas I was not clearly.

I have an android and the number/text thread would usually be sent to the "recycling bin" but I deleted them from there too and apparently didn't have them backed up, so yeah, I was stupid.

Reinstall. You'll still have the message history unless you asked.for your data to be deleted .same with Snapchat.

Whatve you got to lose by sending the message.

Reinstall what? I still have Snapchat, it's him that doesn't so even if I send a message to him there he won't see it

The dating app message him again. Even without the app sometimes you get emails.

Bi_Bibliophile t1_jeauq1q wrote

Oh, he deleted his account on there so I can't message him on the dating app at all, his profile is gone. And I did try to add him on Snapchat hoping he'd see the "see who added you" email but I guess not

Well if you stopped talking, maybe he went back on the dating app. Doesn’t hurt to look.

justaeuropean t1_jeb1khs wrote

You know most people use the same or similar handles for different social media sites. Have you tried looking up his snapchat handle on other social media like Instagram, Facebook, tiktok, etc ?

Also, just like someone else said, this isn't a judgement but you should maybe go to therapy if you aren't already. Your reaction was really disproportionate to the situation.

It'll happen if it's meant to be :) good luck.

Yeah I thought of that and I'm aware of that too don't worry, I am very aware that I have some issues I need to work through. Thanks

I swear to god I have a similar (ish) story. I accidentally deleted this guy off Snapchat and he was so nice to me, and now I literally cannot find him anywhere else. I hope he reaches out to you!

Damn, I'm sorry that happened to you, shame you can't find him. And thank you!

tileman1440 t1_jeb4see wrote

It all depends on how committed you are.

You could contact your phone company and ask them to send you the call history that contains all the numbers used. They will have it and it will be there.

Not sure how things work with your carrier, but I can log into my mobile account and get my call detail. If you can remember an exact time you spoke with him, then you could get the number.

CRT74 t1_jebphf7 wrote

Why can't you go look at your phone bill? Does it not lust the numbers you've called or texted?

Bi_Bibliophile t1_jebpo1x wrote

It's not an itemised bill so all it shows is the amount of minutes and texts I've used, not the numbers I've rung or texted.

Depends how far you are willing to go to get his number back. Each method below does get increasingly stalker'ish. So it's really up to you.

A phone professional could probably recover the text, unless your phone memory is maxed out and has been overwritten. A quick Google search on how to recover deleted texts on Android revealed a method involving a recycle bin built into the android text application. When deleting files, they are seldom permanently deleted, they are instead marked to be overwritten if your device needs the storage space.

If you have any pictures of his face, you can do a reverse Google image search and possibly find his Facebook or linked in profile or something... Or simply search for him on Facebook

If you know his name and town he lives in, or better yet, his favourite activities. You could phone a couple establishments near him and leave a message.

If you know where he works then could try that too. But don't straight up tell the receptionist your story, just ask if you can speak to Mr X. This is technically social engineering so choose your words wisely.
