    Reconciling with my Girlfriend
    My girlfriend and I had been dating for 2.5 years. We dated long distance the first year of our relationship, as she was living in Canada and I was living in Viriginia.

    After a year of dating, my girlfriend decided to move down here and live with me with the promise that I wouldn't wait long to ask her to marry me. Well, a year a half went by and I never asked her to marry me, as promised, so she moved out. I was content living w/her and just hoped eventually I would ask her to marry me.

    Now that she is moved out, I'm devastated and trying to get her back in my life and telling her that I will commit to her in marriage. She still has seen me a few times on a casual basis, but I think in her mind it is over.

    Any advice on how I can win her back?

    I am not an expert but I can give you my view of it.


    I find it very strange that someone you love and who supposedly loves you, simply move out just because you didn't propose fast enough?
    If marriage was THAT important to her then wouldn't she ask you in person and try to talk about it first instead of just moving out..
    From what I know you don't run away from someone because they wait with proposing, there just has to be something else as well..

    Did you have a good relationship without any serious fights and problems?

    For whatever reason she wanted to get married, that was her goal, and objective, nothing personal, to her at least. Be glad she dumped you now instead of later. For ever zero may have been right, she was using you for her own purpose.

    My first thought was "citizenship," but she's from canada... I believe it's a LOT easier for a canadian to get a citizenship here in the U.S. so... I don't know. I agree with tal, however... she was def up to something with the whole "marriage" thing
