Well, I guess it was inevitable, but my girlfriend finally dumped me. I really thought that she was ‘the one’ for me, but I guess all good things must come to an end. We had so much in common and we really enjoyed each others company, but I guess she just got bored of me. I’m not giving up. I’ll find someone else.

At least you got a girlfriend. I haven’t even had one and I’m 23.
I’m 32 and she was my first love. 🙁
You give me hope my friend.
Sorry if I sounded arrogant it wasn’t my intention. I just realized I may have sounded like an ass.
Try to take it more slowly with the next one.
You can say ‘try to take it more slowly’ but you are thinking from a girls perspective and yes you are right, but sometimes when you havent been with someone for a long time or indeed ever before that you can not help but see it as something a little bit more special than the average person who go’s from one to another. Taking things slowly is just based on fullfilment – just come out of a relationship = take things slowly. Got what you wanted all your life = take things slowly. or at worst case scenario but what seems to work well lol Dont really like the person = take things slowly.
What happened, Dave? Was it the religious difference? Something else? Do you even know yet?
FWIW: “Take it slow” is NOT always a girl thing. Sometimes girls are afraid too, don’t you think? I’m a girl and I am pretty damn weary of hurting.
Many of the same girls who say “take it slow,” are the same ones who wake up in strange beds without remembering what happened or how they got there.
Take it slow my ass.
When you find someone “right,” slow is wasting time. When it’s good, it happens fast… because both are compelled to overcome hesitation, or are not reluctant in the first place.
If someone is adamant about “taking it slow,” chances are, they are not ready to proceed with you. If they’re not ready, it won’t work. If you’re not ready, it won’t work.
Be ready. They can tell whether you are or aren’t.
I’m so sorry, Dave. That sucks ass.
As to the “take it slow” discussion… well, of course people should take it slow, that’s what we’re ~supposed~ to do, per the World. It takes time to get to know people and get past the rosy glow of the honeymoon phase, to see if this one will stick around… and even then it’s risky to put your heart out there, but supposedly it’s more safe to do so when the person’s earned your trust. I say “supposedly” because I go too damn fast all the time myself.
I either feel it or I don’t… if I don’t, I don’t want it – I don’t want to give things a chance to grow or whatever – it’s just a NO. If I DO feel it, and he doesn’t, I suffer for a little while but move on. If we both feel it and both move at lightning speed, it’s glorious! For a short while, until he leaves. And it gets harder every time. I’d been happily single for years until someone came along that changed everything…my last boyfriend was going to move in but dumped me before he had to give the 30-day notice at his apartment. And we’d only been together 6 months. I’ll never get over him. In my mind I had us getting married before he even told me he loved me. I was so damn confident. Obviously my way is the Wrong Way because I’m older than you and I never got married (and, well, I’m borderline, and one characteristic/curse of it is having really intense but unstable relationships).
Anyway. I’m going away for a few days but I’ll check on ya when I get back. Hang in there *hugs*
