My girlfriend of almost 6 months told me she needed a break and some time to herself. I don't get it cause I do give her space and time to herself. She said she has lost feelings for me out of no where. She thought about ending it with me but she said she didn't cause she knew that she was going to ask for me back. I love her a lot and I don't want to lose her. She said she still loves me but she lost feelings for which I don't get. Please help me I'm very sad of losing this girl.

Best advice I can give you... dump her. I know it sounds hard to do but with what you just said here, you are in for an emotional roller coaster if you stay with her. Once someone tells you they have lost feelings for you and need time for themselves, it's pretty much over. You're just going to keep going through all kinds of problems with her as she will probably string you along and it's going to make things harder on you.

Her telling you this means that A) she has found someone else and wants to try them out B) she's tired of you but can't tell you C) both A and B... You're better off not even dealing with this. Save yourself the pain and break it off now.

From the sounds of it, I think she may have been using the wrong word when she said she still loves you, and perhaps she meant it in the sense of she still cares for you. Perhaps she has lost the feelings of wanting to be with you, but is scared to break if off fully because at the end of the day, she does still care for your feelings and doesn't want to see you get hurt.

The best thing to do is to sit back because, at the end of the day, you can't force someone to be with you, and it's just as unfair for her to be in a relationship she doesn't want to be in as this situation is for you.

I think you need to leave her for a few days, and then after that period ask to speak to her to see where she is and what her feelings are. And if it's that she doesn't want to be with you, I think you need to accept that and not make her feel even more guilty for making the decision.

Good luck, and I hope everything works out for you.

I don't know how old you both are, but when feelings change for one partner, and they ask for space, or a break, give it to them, and leave them alone, and go back to doing your thing, without them. In this way you won't degrade yourself with whining and begging, and can find better options, and opportunities to be happy.

If her feelings change back, you will hopefully at least, be able to decide if its worth all this dram, and confusion. So don't worry about her feelings, just deal with your own, and if her mind changes, and she misses you, she will let you know, then you can decide if its what you want, or if this is just going to happen again.

Some people change their minds many times, and act on feelings they know nothing about, or are not sure what they feel.

Leave her alone to find out.

6 months is not a long time. It is just enough time to begin to know a person. Maybe she likes you but not as much as she used to. Leave her alone. Don't "give space", break it off and move on. If there is something to rekindle it will happen, if not, you have not continued on a roller coaster.

How old are you? Doesn't really matter what her friends say does it? She will do as she pleases won't she?

What her friends tell her has nothing to do with how she feels.
You both are young. There will be other girls. This was a learning and trial period and it didn't work out.
Time to lick your wounds and move on.

Chalk this up as a learning experience, and a preview of the fun you will have dating many in the future.

If you stay cool, calm, and collected, and don't get carried away by your feelings, and are cautious who you give your heart to, then you will enjoy your a$$ off.

Just be honest, and don't be a player, as you already know how it hurts to think you got something and then find out you don't! That's the difference between a player, and a GOOD human being. HONESTY.

Read my signature below. Especially the one about options.

Well if you want to be toyed with, stay and don't complain about the ride.
If you want some pride, break it off.
She needs to make up her mind what she wants but you don't need to sit at her feet like an obedient dog while she does it

Please let me know how that waiting until she wants you back works out for you. Did she give you a time she would want you back? Even if you get back together next week, chances are you will get dumped again very soon after.

Especially if she sees you having fun, without her. She will surely bring you confusion through her words, but her actions won't match. She already knows the effects her words have on you as you are so eager to get her back, you will wait to see if she comes back.

She is looking around at her options, and you better be also, as being stuck after you get dumped is a miserable disaster waiting to happen.

She has no feelings for anyone else

So she'll want you back when and if she is finished discovering what her feeling are. In the meantime you sit obediently and wait. That is sad.
Let her go do her thing and you do yours. If you met up at another time, fine. In the meantime you have not been sitting around waiting for her to make up her mind.
You are an option to her she knows she can pick up when and if she wants. It that what you want to be?

She wanted to hangout too

Homegirl 50

Like I said you are an option. She wants to keep you around in plain sight while she figures out what she wants to do. That is pretty selfish, but it sounds like you are willing to do this and that is pretty pitiful.
How old are the two of you?

18 and 16. She said she still has little bit of feelings for me

She might but you need to leave her alone. She is pretty young. You both moved too fast.

If that is what you want to tell yourself, you go right ahead
You don't want advice, you want someone to tell you to wait around for this girl, that being her "friend" will be enough.
I can't and won't tell you that.

Has this happen to you

Homegirl 50

No it hasn't but if you read enough of the post here you'll see this is true.
You need to go NC and get this girl out of your system, but you need to want to do that.

Its happened to many of us and I can tell you that the love of a teenager in school, and that of a young man trying to build a future life is two entirely different things as for one while you are working paying rent, she is gossiping about a boy at lunch, and trolling the malls with her friends, and seeing if her dad will increase her allowance for a pair of rad shoes she wants.

While you think of the future, she can't see past graduation, college or anything so far ahead. Its important you let this kid go to grow up, and deal with females who know what a great guy is, and not a child who can brag to her friends what an older guy does for her.

Get out of her world, and get in your own my friend, or are you afraid of the world of real MATURE females that are on your level.

You just can't make a teeny bopper be a woman. Doesn't work that way, and to be stuck on that level will cost you in the end. As you are seeing for yourself, she is confused by her own feelings, and isn't really serious about anything you are, just fun, and fine dining, at your expense.

Ask yourself, what is she doing for your life other than costing you money, and wanting attention? What does she bring to the table besides sex, in a easy kid way?

Stop waiting for HER to grow up!

This girl is 16 years old. You two are on two entirely different pages. She is 16 and in a 16 frame of mind. She is not going to be thinking future with you. She still has to graduate HS, go to prom.
Leave this girl alone. This is a no win situation.

Actually she doesn't brag to her friends about me and she is thinking about the future

Well since you believe her, then wait. Please let me know how long you think it will take before she is yours again.

She lost love for you but still has feelings for you?

And you brought that line?

Just what excatly do you think love is? Yes it's a feelings but its also an action, its trust and honesty its communication.. what you have is a line because she did not have the balls to tell you she wants out, she sold you a line and you took it hook line and sinker.

So you have two choices... wait for her to come back ( won't happen) by the way.. or start moving on towards healing and someone who wants the same things you do, even just someone who WANTS you, who has enough respect to tell you the truth and believes your man enough to be able to hear the truth.

It really looks like you came here to have us tell you to wait for her. We are all telling you to get out of this to save you from going through it and you are pretty much ignoring what we are saying.

You asked if anyone has been through this... yes, I have. It hurt like hell. I wanted to believe her so badly that I put myself through this. What an absolute mess. I learned from it and now it sounds like you need to go through it too because you really don't want to hear it from us.

At your age, life is still beginning and you have all the time in the world to find someone and you don't need to put up with this. Have fun dealing with the pain, the sleepless nights, feeling used, and feeling ashamed of yourself for believing her. Take care.
