Just remember, it could turn out BETTER than you think. I have sort of the same situation, but I can't really tell much because she only has one picture. I meet her for the first time tomorrow. I had a date once with a girl that looked fairly attractive on OKC, and then in person she was even MORE attractive. So things turned out for the better there.

But this isn't something I want to derail the thread with, so all I have to say is this: Try and spend time with her and see if you enjoy it. Remember - what Mother Nature giveth, Father Time taketh away. And that's important to remember in looking for a long term relationship. |

If I can't be on equal terms with a girl, then she's not a girl worth dating to me. If I have to play stupid games to get her, then it's not worth it. |

Worst thing about me personally is there are girls that I think are plenty good looking for -me- but I'd be embarrassed to show my family or friends. That's pretty damn fucked I guess. |

Had a great date again with the gorgeous and smart girl I told before. The best part is she really seems to like me as well. Lots of cuddling and hand holding. She came with a kiss when we were leaving my apartment and waiting for an elevator to arrive. We also had a nice moment when we were waiting for a tram.
Life is beautiful. |

Just got back from the lunch date. She was pretty cute and smart. Definitely want to see her again. I felt like things went pretty well. There wasn't any weird excuse to end the date like last time too. Also it apparently made her day that I covered the bill for her, she said no one has ever paid for anything for her before.

Can I talk about a break up I'm going through in this thread or should I not? My 5 year relationship just ended and I'm lonely :(

Seriously though, there's no reason why not, I did. On an unrelated note, I found out that one of my friends actually knows the girl I had the date with today, so a double date is potentially there in the future. My friend also told me that this girl apparently has a really sensitive orgasm-inducing spot on her hand, that might come in handy (pun not intended...). |

How crazy is too crazy to invite a girl into your home?
Like, she's a liberal, so that makes me think she's perfectly sane. But she's needy. She invited me into her home barely knowing me for that matter. |

So she's one of those people that texts me every other day asking if I ever do want to see her again even though I reassure her that I do. That level of crazy doesn't bother me as long as she doesn't start knocking on my door later when I'm seeing another girl (I've been open about dating around from the start). |

Oh ok. Thanks guys. I'm trying to collect my thoughts as this came abruptly Thursday night. We were engaged for about 3 and a half years too. We started dating the summer after high school and through our college days and we both graduated. Her more recently as an RN and now works at a hospital with long hours every night. I didn't see her as much. It sucked but I understood. But it got to a point to where she wouldn't talk to me as much and I sort of said I felt like I didn't exist.
This upset her and that same night we had a long talk about what's been going on lately and this lead her to saying she's changing and needs to be independent for a while. She said that we don't have anything in common anymore and that she's not in love but will always love me. As much as that hurt I understood. Right now she needs the space for her sake and I think my sake as I was making her my sole source of happiness. She ended the relationship that night and it went as good as a breakup could be. We were kissing and laughing while still obviously upset about breaking up. I was trying to stay positive and let her know I'll be here for her. Time apart may be good for us. I just hope it isnt perminate. We promised to keep in touch and she told me not to delete her off of Facebook and I havent yet. The only contact we've had was the day after to get her phone to her own line and to check up on each other. Since then it's only been draw something plays (lol). Anyway thanks for letting me post this. I'm just confused as to what to do next. Part of me is telling myself to just have no contact and make her miss me but then the other half is saying why not talk to her she's easy to talk to. Idk guys. Im just meh right now. As I should be I guess. |

It's a typical case where people go through the formative go-crazy-and-have-fun days of the early 20's while in a relationship. HS sweetheart relationship rarely work because people confuse what love is, or get freaked out at the idea that they never experienced adult-hood in all of it's freedom.
It can really go both ways, where she will find nothing worth it out there and will come back to you, or she will discover herself and find another relationship. In fact, behind the scenes, maybe meeting someone potentially new (not necessarily cheating) was what prompted her to change towards you. In either scenario, you have to question if you want to be with someone that can leave you like that. Do you value yourself so low that you are willing to be at the mercy of someone else? By now you are used to her and you have comfort in that, but you yourself admited that your happiness was dependent on her. This is a clear sign that you have to mature and become your own man. This is the moment for you to truly experience life in all of it's awesomeness and find happiness in your own damn self. The minute you don't depend on someone for validation, is the moment you'll know true love when it hits you in the face. Depending on someone for happiness is NOT love. In time, you'll look back and realize this. |

The other case, attraction grew day by day. It got to the point where I couldn't stop looking at her. Ball is in your court. |

Sorry to hear. I know it's difficult, but I would suggest letting her go for a while. If you stay friends, you're just going to be holding out hope that there is still a future there. Who knows, maybe you reconnect somewhere down the road, but for now it is healthier for you both to stay out of each other's lives because it's going to slow you from moving on.

Okay, so I've been attending a new bar the last few weeks. Not really my scene as the place is really low-key & it has a lot of regulars, mostly the twenty or so people who attend it. Thing is: I've been there twice & have left with two different girl's numbers. One is a regular & another who was their with friends & a date -- yes, I scored her number despite her being there with a guy.
Now, how do I play both of the girls knowing they will likely be at the bar at the same time on the same night? I'm going to the movies with one tomorrow & the other won't be back in town for another week or so since she is in the process of to the area. I've never had a problem with two or more girls in more location since I usually attend bars with a hundred or so people in it. This place everyone knows each other & it makes it slightly more complicated. |

About her meeting someone new I don't know if that's it since she barely had time for me and works on an all girl floor at the hospital. And she told me that it wasn't another man. lol. And she grew kind of meh at the idea of that too. I'm just at that stage of weird hope that's still a bit of shock I guess. 5 years is a long time and we are both 24 and I thought we were mature enough to talk this out. I didn't think this day would come honestly. We seemed strong. Just a bit different recently because of her working so much. I respected her decision though and let her go free. I did everything I could do in the relationship and was an amazing person to her and she realized that. Hopefully that's something.
Shit. She sent another Draw Something. Lol.

Well shoot me. I made out with the sister of my best friend. He doesn't know fortunatly.
Heres the problem... she's 15 and I am 21 (she will be 16 next month) and she kind of trys to hold me sometimes when I don't call her or write her back (well not often... so she's not really clingy, whatever). Problem is that my best "girl" friend knows that I had something with her and like some of you know I have a crush on her kind of. I am finally able to also crack her shell (I've got to be with her, and as I was hugging her last time and told her that everything is okay and that sometimes some people need to be hugged, she was starting to cry and she thanked me at night) His sister is really mature and good looking and soon she's going on a exchange, so nothing to loose I guess? I should have fun and don't think about anything. My best friend is okay with me even if she's at my place (I got the go... so?) Awh. And then there is another girl who wants to hook up with me... does look very good too. I know I have really stupid problems. Any advice? lol. |

She thanked me for being so understanding about her situation. Which makes me have hope(ugh) again. The past day or so it's been really hard not to text her though.

Personally i think if we're truly good friends then at some point down the line when things have settled down we will probably ended up getting back in touch. If that doesn't happen than it probably means we weren't that good friends anyway. The idea of going straight from a long term relationship to just being friends just doesn't sit well with me. |

I was with her for 4 years. There is no need to rush things anyway, everyones different and some people prefer to stay friends with their exes.

It's tough because for 4 years, you've been co-dependent with her so naturally when you guys aren't together anymore, you will feel like there's a part of you missing. Do you still keep in contact with your friends? I would say... hang out with them... as much as possible. You don't need to cry on their shoulder or anything but just get out of the house. It will help.

As painful as it was i really learned a hell of a lot from the experience. Also i can really relate to the whole learning to be single again, it has been a weird experience. Once i learned to just enjoy my new found freedom things started getting better. |

I could use some outside input.
Been friends with a girl for a couple of years. In the last few months it's gotten different and has turned more into a relationship. Last week we made out for the first time. Last night when I tried making a move again she denied my move (and I respected and obliged that) She's had a tough time, not in the best place in life. Her dad died last summer, she's living in a small apartment with her mom and helps support her with her part-time tutoring job (she's 20, I'm 21 btw), and she has other various family problems. She said she didn't want any drama and she felt pressured (not by me, just in general) She says she just does not want sex (I don't know how far she's went with guys in the past, I never bring up her exes) She's not seeing any other guys to my knowledge and I know she cares about me (her mom and her made me a nice meal and cake for my bday) And I care about her, I mean, we hang out at least once a week and we've kinda grown up through college together. We made out a little more after last night, but I'm not sure I can have the amount of patience she expects from me. No sex, very little making out, she says she just wants things to flow naturally, but to me (and I could be very wrong, I have very little experience, still a virgin myself), things flowing naturally = hands holding/snuggling -> first base -> second base -> e.t.c. I don't wanna break things off with her but at the same time what she wants and what I wants are two different things. Should I ask her if I can see other girls just for sex? Should I suck it up and just go slowly? Should I break it off with her and move on? All those options suck. This situation sucks. |

I wish I was working though, this week is my week paid vacation and it kind of sucks. But I'm trying to keep busy. Watching movies. Friends. I might try to get a new job. Just make some positive changes in my life. God though, the more I've gotten used to it the more brave I've been about wanting to text her. |

Also, as for the whole her being 15 and all. Well, I'm not a prude, I know age is just a number, but from reading your post it feels, to me at least, that you took it a step to far. Not saying your a horrible person, just I got a little weirded out. But tell your friend. |

I'm really hoping it was just his poor English and he actually got with his female friend who he has had a crush on who I assume isn't 15... But I give people the benefit of the doubt too much, and this is GAF lol

It's a tough situation for sure, especially because she has gone through some tough times. A couple of months is a long time for little make out sessions.
If I were you, I would just suck it up for a little while longer and see if things improve. Definitely communicate with her that you are unhappy with the situation. If she says she want things to flow naturally but it's been this long, it can be that she is dealing with something or scared or just not ready for anything intimate. But if it really bothers you to the point of wanting to break up, no one would blame you for that. Being intimate with your significant other is important in any relationship. |

another tip would be to watch a ton of porn, like amateur guy on girl stuff, just to see different positions and how other people.. do it oral is wonderful.. but if again you're afraid of coming too early, you can always do it intentionally, then do her, by which time you should be ready to go again and plunge on in so to speak. really unless you're a good actor/really passionate she'll probably know either way, so im not gonna recommend straight up lying to her face, cause then she'll just assum eyou're a really lousy lay. or you can fake it till you make it. lol Mendrox: 16 and 21 isnt only illegal but its pretty morally wrong, imo |
