Sincerity comes with consistency and persistence. If you don't feel this in his actions, let your gut instinct or discernment do the trick but some men are really good at fooling women then it's a bit hard to know. But how will you know the truth if you don't try, how can you make yourself believe someone if you don't open up your heart? Being vulnerable doesn't mean that you believe everything you see or heard, let your heart and mind decide. Opening your heart means let yourself be vulnerable by taking the risk to believe or fall in love again to see if it's real or not. If it doesn't work,it's ok, at least you tried. But if you close your heart and mind to the possibilities then you will never have the courage to take a step forward and have the chance to find love again.

and finally when the reason is very clear
one just has to accept that it was just for a season and not the ever elusive lifetime we all seek.

Seasonal Love...now that's an idea!

typical male

Nobody wants to shovel snow all year long.

Did you mean the same person with the same games , or the new person play the same games ?

Believing is a journey, you can be fool and broken once but if you wish to start a new journey you can and believing can build

Believe in whatever or whomever you feel to. But remember...
Eventually your beliefs will be challenged.
So check your belief system out.
and ask yourself "What do I really believe in?"

Or better, "where do I get my value?"

A car?
a job?
being a mom or Dad?
How much money you have, or don't have?
Relationships?
helping other people through their problems?
Down in your "core" who are you?
and where do you get your value?

And when you don't have that person, place, or thing to hold dearly do you still have value?

If you get your value from anything or anyone, eventually you'll be in a position of powerlessness when whatever happens, happens. Because all things on earth have a beginning and an end, we are all temporarily here, and to determine values and beliefs on temporary things may result in crashing beliefs and/or values.

All relationships eventually end, people come and go from our lives, some die or some move on...some outgrow us, or we them.
So placing your value in a person, place or thing or believing in anything other than a power greater then yourself is a lesson waiting to be learned.

Sometimes we know better, but we do it anyway.
We go all in with someone who says and does the right thing. We base our decisions on the legitimacy of the connection being made and allow ourselves a closer more intimate look.

There's always a price to pay isn't there?
As your trust "in your own decisions" and your beliefs spiral down
again...and again....and again.

There is a way out of that sort of pattern. But you can't be convinced anymore or figure out ways to find new approaches. It just doesn't work like that...

Just ask yourself "What do I really believe in?"
"And where do I get my values?"

both

Love is like a lottery ..keep trying until u hit a jackpot~
