    What the hell happened?
    Threads merged.


    For almost six months... tomorrow would have been our anniversary... I was in a relationship with a guy. I am 15 years old and this is my first serious relationship, my first real relationship. My old ones lasted about a week to two weeks on average and I never was in love. But this guy was real, this guy was great. He was one of those guys who was very committed to a girl and hadn't dated a lot. He is 18. Right before me, he had this on and off again girlfriend who was just... evil. He just stayed with her because he thought he'd end up alone, and having someone was better than having no one. But this girl cheated on him. The first time, he forgave her. But then she cheated a second time. He finally left her, but from what he told me, he regretted leaving her because he didn't have enough confidence to realise better be alone than with someone horrible. But then he met me, and we talked and realised we had a lot in common, and we fell for each other madly. 9 days after we met we got together. Now, we are in a long distance relationship. So we talk on IM and all. Every day almost we'd talk. I loved him madly, and he did too. If we had to go one or two days without talking, he'd come back and tell me he missed me so madly that it was unbearable. He'd cancel plans to talk to me. He was the all around perfect guy. He was this nerdy computer type. I loved him madly and still do, because we broke up exactly one week ago. But slowly, people started picking on us. His stupid friends, parents too. Told him he was a pedophile for dating a 15 year old. So, it is so unnatural. Last Friday, he came on and apologised for being late because he had been at his dad's surgery. (His dad has an early skin cancer, and they are trying to rid of it. Odd, my mother has leukemia). He said that he needed me so bad by his side during the surgery. But some classmate of his was annoying me, and I had sent her an email reply, so she emailed me telling me to stop emailing her. She told him to tell me, and we were starting to get all lovey dovey. Then I was upset and he got a little upset so then he just said, OUT OF THE BLUE, "Look babes, I am thinking we need to take a break til things calm down." THen he talked about being the laughinstock of his friends and how he's still technically a pedophile for dating me. Then I asked if he was going to just date other people, and he said "i couldn't because im a fat ugly freak and i'm already in love with someone." So I said I'd miss his kisses, which I do, so so badly, and then he said "And I'll miss yours *kisses cheek* and babes this isn't permanent, we'll be together again one day." Then he just left. Now, that was on Friday, a week ago exactly. Then on Monday night, I was talking to my friend who said he heard that my ex thought I was some fake or something, so I emailed him explaining that I wasn't. Then my ex answered my email on Tuesday. It said something like "I never doubted you and never will. You still are my dream girl and always will be, the reason I left you was merely because of age and parents issues, which nobody can help. I still love you and you are still my one." So I answered and said "Am I still your future wife, and do you still see us together" and he said "yes without a doubt we will be together again one day."


    Now. I am so so hurt. I just can't believe he left me when he hung on to that girl for cheating. And he is not the kind of person to talk things out, when he is upset he just shuts off all contact and doesn't do anything. But he... loved me. We had something so wonderful, and I mean, if he really WAS in love with me, those feelings don't just go away like that, do they? And as I said, my greatest joy in life was talking to him each day. He was always there by my side. He felt like a best friend and a lover all in one. Even though we could only IM, I felt the same sensations and feelings you feel when you're with someone. Now I feel betrayed and like I can't trust anyone, and if he really loves me he will come back to me when things are more "serene."

    Ah, what to do? I miss him so bad. It makes no sense that one second he was missing me madly after two days and suddenly he does this. A shock. You think he misses me?

    His friends are right, your ages could get him in a lot of trouble, even ruin his life, even with just kissing. He could end up in jail, don't you get it, your jail bait, and he wants no part of that.

    He sounds like a smart guy, who is protecting not only himself, but you too.

    You won't be 15 all your life, so just be patient until you are of age to be responsible for yourself.

    You think we have a chance of waiting until I'm 18 to be together?
    If we're truly in love? A lot of people I know have this problem.

    What other choice do you really have, but to wait??

    Right now your 15 and you might think he is the best thing in the world. However, there are no guarantees he is going wait around for you for the next 3 years.

    You never know what could happen in next 3 years so the only thing I can tell you is to enjoy your youth and don't rush yourself to grow up.

    Just remember in life there are no guarantees. And don't fool around nor even consider getting involved an older guy right now because, unlike him, you have some guys who don't care.

    Ok I can relate to this from personal experience. I was 15 when I met this hot, sexy, muscular, popular and intriguing 18 going on 19 year old guy. He had a car and we where friends with all the same crowd... along with the fact my best friend was dating his best friend... he thought I was cute and I was curious! Well, he was a smooth talker at first I liked him and decided to hang out and give him a try... why not what's the worst that could happen?

    Before I knew it he got me so drunk a week later that he started touching, kissing and tried taking advantage over me when I was drunk. Good thing is I was aware of his intentions. I jumped up and told him to go to hell! Still being naïve the next day I agreed to go out with him for a date. We had fun but at the end of the night he wanted to make out. I told him to drive me home. We dated for about 1 month (or maybe less... not sure that was eons ago) but I never put out... I was scared that I would have regretted it and I know now that if I did I surely would have but I waited for the right guy (now my husband). These days sex isn't about love in it's entirely for the first time but it is about friendship and mutual care for one another. Back to the guy - I noticed that whenever there was a girl closer to his age he would treat me like his kid sister... yeah, it's bad - he was a piece of ****!

    One note: I almost forgot to mention that he continually proceeds to pick me up whenever he sees me to this date. He shows up somewhere in my life about every once or twice a year and we do the Jeep Jamboree together so kind of an annual thing. I look at him now and I can't imagine what the hell I thought was so great about him back then. I think he is a looser and honestly he looks like he is dying from an STI!!! Always protect and be wise.

    I am sorry but from my experience and now watching my niece going through this at 15 all I can say is this... your young and need a lot of growing up to do. Overage guy spells and smells of nothing but trouble... your 15 and while your at home doing your homework; he may be going to the club to pick up the next one night stand! Take care of your body and hold a high regard for yourself - you will only be taken advantage over if you allow someone to take advantage over you. Don't let anyone make you feel stupid.

    My story is different from your story but your missing the principle of it. 18 year old guys (nice guys or not) are at their sexual peak and thus my story is usually the better applicant to that degree. The basic issue is he left you because of parental issues and your age. I have a daughter and so help me God if I found out some 18 year old was dating her! He elected to make the right decision on his part... your not worth jail time because if you where my daughter TRUST ME I would charge him and send him to jail for having a relationship (especially if it was sexual in nature) or not consensual sex. Since we know the law says it isn't consented sex if you are a minor (minor/adult relationships) and your parents can choose to speak for you on that account.

    I also mentioned to you that I still see that guy around once or twice a year... and questioned myself why I liked him in the first place? Your 15 and have a lot of time to build your preference in men; keep your options open in the interim. Maybe it is meant to be? Maybe not? I guess he let you go and you should move on! Not only that but "if" by chance sometime down the road when you are a consenting adult you run into him and the chemistry sparks again then it was meant to me. Sometimes letting go is the first trial but as far as these last 27 years of my life have taken me I understood that letting go or ending the current is a promise of a new beginning, new growth, new knowledge and new/exciting opportunities.

    Do you think I'll change?

    Do you think it's possible, when I'm 19 or 20, do you think that my feelings will change and I'll look back on this guy and be like "Woah man I can't BELIEVE I loved him!!"?

    ... are you serious right now??

    No DUH you're going to change by time you're 19 or 20.

    You might be one of the miracle people that grow up in a way that they stay compatible with their boyfriend, but chances are you'll grow apart, and your relationship will change.
    You might not look back on your relationship with regret, maybe more a fond memory, but you most likely won't be dating this guy in a few years.

    Enjoy it while it lasts. Don't think too much of the future.

    No outside problems such as distance and new jobs are making him start to cave, but BOTH of us are hurting because we're so in love.
    I want to find someone one day who I madly love and never lose...

    I had to wait until I was 58, but it is well worth it. He's the cream in my coffee and the sizzle in my steak!

    Ah. In that case, I understand you completely.
    Feeling a relationship ending hurts like a b*tch and all, but in the end, if you both know that it was a real love while it lasted, then you know it was worth it.
    As to finding someone you love forever, that's a lifelong struggle that everyone has problems with. You shouldn't worry about it yet.
    With your heart breaking right now you might doubt your ability to ever find a true, lasting love, because you feel like something that good can never come again, right?
    Don't worry, it will one day. Take some time to heal and be yourself, and when you eventually get out there in the dating field again, I'm sure you'll a new guy that's great in his own ways.
    You're only 15. You have plenty of time to find "the" guy. One day, you'll meet (or maybe even remeet!) the guy that you fit perfectly with who isn't too far away or too busy to make things work.

    You will someday look back and say to yourself ''Oh the guy that I had a crush on, I think I remember he had nice hair and a smile that you can't forget. Now what was his name.''

    As teens we all go/went through the stage of noticing guys that we wished we could have went out with but didn't

    15 is very young; too young to take any relationship extremely seriously. You will change: from your political views to your religious views, to career views, to want you want in a guy.

    In no way what you want now is set in stone forever.

    Will you remember him? Certainly at 20 you will, but it will get to a point where who you dated doesn't matter anymore.

    Enjoy the relationship you have now, but don't have extremely high expectations for its future. Hormones and hearts are flying everywhere at that age, and everyone gets caught in the crossfire.

    Just have fun while you can.

    If you do have a true love relationship with this guy, it'll last to the time you can control your own life, and you don't have to worry about it now.

    Yes you will probably look back and say that. I was in your situation 2 years ago... I used to be mad about this "perfect" guy but now [which is 2 years later not 5 years later like you are saying] I don't even think about him. When I see him passing by or somewhere at a club I just say he's cute but I was not worth him as from the inside I realized that he's opposite to his outside =]

    I am too addicted to being in love.
    Threads merged.


    I'm too obsessed with being in love; one of my main dreams/wishes for the future is to find that one, to marry a guy who I'm madly in love with and who madly loves me and it stays like that forever. But right now... I'm 15. I want to not be so obsessed with it; I want to stop worrying that I'll never find the one and enjoy life...
