I wasn't gonna post here, but I can't help myself. My (first) girlfriend of six months just broke up with me last night. She said she was unsure about everything, her life, her school, and us. A week ago we were fine. She had her moments, where she'd rather I left her alone, which I did. I know her. We had a great time at the prom last week. On sunday she became sullen and depressed while we were at her family, and she didn't want to tell me what was up. I figured, OK, I'll give her some time. Let her know I was there for her.
She asked me to come to the birthday party of one of her friends. A lot of our mutual friends were there. She gave me a kiss when I came in, but then basically acted as though I wasn't there. Other people were starting to notice, too. At one point I just went outside, and after a while she followed... And we talked. She told me that. And then she said she didn't want to string me along, so she did what she thought was best. And I didn't see it coming.
I... I'm pretty much a wreck right now. I just need to vent. Somewhere, anywhere I can. Here.
It happens. Nothing we are going to say is going to have toooo big of an impact on you right now, but hopefully you remember some advice when you actually are in a place where you can absorb it.
Don't talk to her or see her if you can avoid it - not because she's a bitch, or whatever, but because it will make the whole process take longer, it will drag out and it will hurt more. You need to spend as much time away from her as possible right now, spend your time grieving.
And at your first opportunity, do something. Anything. Hang out with friends, spend some time playing video games (socializing is probably the best thing to do at this point though) - try to keep your mind off of those thoughts that really don't do anyone any good.
And as soon as you think you're ready (no one is really going to know when this is other than you, could be a week from now, or months) - start thinking about other girls. I know some people are against this as being part of the healing process, but I couldn't disagree more with those people. When the time comes you need to remind yourself in the simplest ways that
A) You're single now, and there are benefits that come with that
B) You're going to meet a lot of new girls, this ex is your first, but she will not be your last
C) For all I know, you're the type of person that will move on easier/better after you have... relations with someone else
All in all, we feel for you - a lot of us have been there. But don't let it keep you down too long, as soon as you can, start thinking positive, start thinking about the good you can make out of this situation, and eventually, start thinking about girls.
