Gang banger... as in a person in a gang? Or was there more than 1 dude involved?

Haha thank you all for the amusing and helpful responses. I really don't care about money. I guess I would like to choose "enlightenment" over security. I probably just sounded like a snob right...

P.S. I scored much higher on the ACT (4 years ago) on the math and science portions, with a 30 composite score overall. That's the reason why I ask about the engineering/pre-med.

Hey all,

I was just wondering, what is the easiest (least costly) way to become a teacher with an English degree. I graduate soon with a 3.2 GPA, not great, but not terrible either. I was also...

Hey all,

It's been awhile since I last posted, and I want to share with you some insights on getting over the ex. It happens, you just got to give it some time and space. I also...

It seems like you are in a relationship yo-yo. I have been in the same situation myself. It seems that when you pull back, and you almost reach the breaking point, the ex does just the bare minimum...

Congratulations for being a better person by realizing that the past should probably stay in the past, and for good reasons. Kudos also for not seeking revenge. You'll find someone else, but until...

Usually, those people that jump to and from relationships (men and women are both guilty of this) have low self-esteem to begin with, and only feel that they can live with having "someone", with no...

In our society, going to the strip club is considered by some to be a "rite of passage", one on a long list of "being a man". All it is is harmless fun with friends, in this case, his brother. I...

Better to find out now than years down the line, when there could be a ring, engagement, marriage, shared lease, or even kids! Don't waste any more time with this girl. Many times they come back in...

I don't know, as I've never been married, nor cheated in a committed relationship. However, I would imagine it would be something like, "alright, another woman that i'm having sex with"

Maybe you can make new friends, or strengthen your "acquaintences" into "friends that hang out"?

I'm sorry if my first comment seemed rough, but you really should clean all objects that remind you of your ex and put them in a box out of sight. Or trash them, like I did. It just depends on what...

Yea, true that. How long has it been now? Please tell me that you don't have a hair doll constructed with all the lose hairs of hers you found in your apartment?

It seems that she doesn't want to be in a relationship or move in that direction yet, but doesn't want you to move on either. It comes back to the adage of "crap or get off the pot". Because she...

Well, the only thing you can do is give her what she wants.

However, if I were in a committed relationship, I would want my significant other around for support with all of this. She may be using...

Haha well then stop it. You seem like you have a lot going for you, and a lot of stuff on your plate as well. You're going to be fine. Just take a chill pill and relax.

I mean, still go out and...

And also, you shouldn't compare your experience to your ex's. First of all, you have no idea how good/bad their relationship is. She could just be wasting time, looking for something better to come...

I think this goes along with the loss of innocence is that people's ideas on love change. It's not innocence in the sense of purity, but more on the innocence of ignorance. The first love, you...

Do you think you might be trying too hard to find love? Just a question to guide your thought process.

The girl also doesn't seem to be leading you on purposely like I have known some others to do. She just wants her dog taken care of and to have some space to sort out feelings for herself. She's not...

It doesn't seem like your relationship was that great anyway. You were depressed before, and granted, that may have been your problem alone, but it sounded like you didn't like the position that you...

Haha you're doing all right. You're going to have to acknowledge that before he started going out with you, he had a past life that involved other girlfriends, as I'm assuming that you have as well....

Movies have a tendency to give people unrealistic expectations about life. They are meant to be fantastic and extraordinary... that is part of the spectacle. People go to the movies to escape from...

The notebook is hollywood... and also things were very much different in the '40's.

The more important question is this: Haven't you tortured yourself enough over this? Forget about it and do...

And honestly, if he cheated on you, and the woman cheated on her boyfriend, chances are their relationship isn't on steady ground either. Consider yourself lucky that you got out.

You have no obligation to this man to be your friend. He sees you as a good woman. However, he lied and deceived you. Definitely not traits to have even in a "friend". I am in the same position as...

Yes sir it is. I'm not too worried about it overall, but the girl still knows how to push my buttons and sucker me into an argument. A day has passed and I'm back to situation normal. I just needed...

Funny how reactions change over time. I've progressed beyond that, at least I'd like to think so. She just argues, and doesn't let it drop. She thinks she is in the right all the time, and that I'm...

Hahaha if you look at that post, it was from awhile back. Now my reaction is... "oh... here's that crazy bi*** again..."

Exactly. I was thinking of just being the calm in the middle of a hurricane and letting all her texts, calls, emails, insults, or whatever kind of blow right by me. By ignoring her, I can do whatever...

I think regardless of what I say, she will still do whatever she wants to do. That is her personality... very self-oriented. She doesn't really care what I want. I think the best course of action is...

Well, I tried being nice and telling her that, but she insisted that I was "being a baby" and that it was "just lunch". When I told her to not call or text, she said I was being "cruel, after all the...

I'm not responding any of her calls, texts, or emails.

You're right, she's afraid to be alone. She always has to have someone. She is the weak link and would drag me down if I let her. I don't...

Also, it seems like she really jumped into this other relationship quickly, which is semi-understandable. We have been on-off-on for the last year. I was somewhat expecting her to come back, but am...

Hey all, it's been awhile. I've been progressing normally. My ex told me she is seeing someone else, which I'm fine with (strangely). At least she's not really bugging me anymore... or is she? She...

Hey TJ,

You said that you drove to see her often. Did she ever drive to see you? It sounds like it was a bit of a one-way street. Now the girl wants to be alone... but then wants to keep you...

You did good. Keep it civil, put on a happy face. Don't bring up the "heavy" stuff. You are doing fine.

This guy is trying to get a rise out of you. He is being a complete butt-dart. Don't play his silly games. He obviously has no chance, and is in the "creep zone". I would advise your girl to report...

Do you think he made you sweat it out for attention... like he did with his ex girlfriends? Do you think that he is a bit of a narcissist by making other girls want to commit to him, and then...

Usually, when a girl has a guy friend, the guy is in the "friend zone"... so whatever this guy wants, this girl, as long as she's with you, isn't going to mess up.

If she does, that just means...

That's good buddy. Just don't push and be natural. There's no rush. If it's going to happen, it'll happen.

Buddy, it sucks. That's the hard part of the breakup. When my ex and I broke up for the FIRST time (I say first because I was stupid enough to take her back 4 more times... ) I couldn't eat or sleep...

Back to no contact for you if you want what's best. First relationships are hard to get over, but it gets better. Trust me. Until then, enjoy your life as much as possible. Go out with friends. High...

Here's a lesson for you, you seem like you're a good kid, and you mean well.

First of all, don't listen to what anybody tells you what "she said". She didn't tell you that, did she? Only trust the...

Haha buddy, sometimes I go through the same thing still. I don't think it's about you missing her, I think it's about you being bored.

Eventually, you will come to love the quiet time you have...

I think the best thing for you to do is get the ring, sell it, and then spoil yourself with the money. You most certainly deserve it.

That way, the "possibility" of her coming back would be out...

You will buddy. The only problem is that you still see and talk to your ex. For the next 30 days, you have to disappear from her life. No contact at all.

If you think about it, every time you see...

And if you necessarily must, drop the class. But you cannot let this affect your life anymore. You're in survival mode, and you got to recover and get power over your life back. Use it to springboard...

Dude, do what I did with my ex. Sit in the front row, and pay attention. You cannot let this affect your school life... at all. If so, you will self-destruct in this downward spiral, and you will...
