Default Why break-ups suck.

Breakups don't suck so much bc of the brakup itself. Not so much the fact that you're not seeing the other person anymore.

They suck because you think of what it took to meet the girl, talk to her, joke with her, get her to like you, spend the money and time on her, think of gifts to buy her, think of new ways to make her smile. Effort...lots and lots of effort put into relationships.

And then you gotta do it all over again.

I understand springs' hurt bc I spent 6 months nearly falling in love with a girl and knowing that it wont work with us sucks bc...all those jokes I told to her...all the time I spent w/ her...I have to do again with someone else..I gotta "start over" in a sense.

Any input?

whose post are u pointing to? you got it pointing 3 posts above which doesnt exist.




and to clarify...I didnt mean that u spend time being fake, rather you spend time being yourself. and THEN u gotta do it all over again. Kinda like in those old arcade games where u get to such a high level...and then you lose. Alotta times u dont feel like trying to get there again bc it took so long

I also never implied that anyone has to TRY to get anyone to like them. what I meant with that is...well, why would you buy a girl a gift....or pay for her movies or food....or open the door for her....or talk to her on the phone at night...or drive to her place to see her...it's all stuff that gets her to like you.

I guess it depends on your lifestyle and outlook on life. To some, it's all about hitting it. to others, its about a relationship. So thats really the deciding factor: what you're trying to get out of it.

Hell yeah, It's not the fact that you broke up, its just that you wasted all that time and money on an undeserving bitch...

All in all, F'em.

Seriously. Dont let yerself fall for one, especially if yer under 25. When i got my first girlfriend Lara (lost my virginity to her) i was 19 (yeah go ahead and laugh) i thought she was the one for me.
Then she dumped my *** because i cheated on her with Sharon.
Then came Misako
And then Junko
And then Lynn
And then Harla
And then Meighan
And then Chenoa
And then Becki
And then Shelby
And then Torie
And then Amy
And then Sherry
and who knows what next.

And those are only the girls who i was in a commited relationship with. That doesent include girls i briefly dated.

Women are a dime a dozen and so are we.

If you can find 1 woman that is interested in you, then that means a good amount of them are going to be interested in you as well, cause they aall generally look for the same thing.

Take yer time, go out and have fun, dont limit yourself to a single girl right off the bat. There will be plenty of time to be old and married later in life.



And like purestand said, if you have to TRY to get her to like you then yer messing up. Normally i just ignore them and it drives them nuts. But i never try to be something im not, or act a way i normally dont. Life is too short for me to play those games.
Just be yourself and girls will gravitate towards you. if you TRY to get them to like you they will see nothing but insecurity.

Oh yah,. little side note for all you feminists......
You know why men make more than women in the same job with same experience?
Cause we spend all that extra goddamn money on the women, so dont bitch that men make more, it all comes back to you in the end.
What kinda names are those? did you just f' a whole indian tribe or something...where's Running Mist...and Playswit SelfDaily...

Great post, I think I screwed myself in my last relationship because I had the whole, "wow, shes the one" mentality. Now, dont get me wrong, but I was only 17 when we started dating, maybe I was (and still am) too young and of course it was great at first, but you definately watch someone change when you are with them for almost two years. I think the worst thing was that she expected to be surprised, like, all the damn time, and anytime one of our friends did something sweet for his gf, or a girl told her about something her bf did, I swear, I would be like "great, now we get to have the thoughfulness conversation now..." I dunno, she is a great chick, but like most young girls, she doesnt have a damn clue what she wants in life, and is going to have to find that out probably the hard way. Oh well, life goes on, and its funny what you actually realize when you finally pull your head out of the sand after two months of being down in the dumps. Life goes on, nothing is "wasted" persay, because every relationship makes you learn something about yourself, and gives you something to go onto the next one with. Like, there are things that I know I want in my next relationship from my previous. Although I have to admit, having a girlfriend that will point out that there is a Competition Orange cobra in the parking lot across the street is kinda cool...

Everything happens for a reason. If I would of never screwed up when I was a teenager I would of never met my wife. Thats life and you need to learn it so you can prepare when you really start living when you are an adult. Its obvious that your girlfriend did not love you as much as you loved her its painful to hear but true. What you need to do is not open yourself for a big fall. Here are some simple questions:

Do you know her family?
Do you know all her friends?
Does she hang out with her friends but you cant come along?
Girls night out?
Is she sometimes busy and cant expalin why?
Does she seem distant and uninterested in your conversations?
Clubing or Bars (nothing good comes out of this)?

If you want a serious relationship you need to be looking into these questions. Im sure there were signs that something was up. In your next relationship and trust me there will be a next dont force expectations on her,keep your images of wedding bells to yourself until you know how she feels as you may have scared her away from you.

My wife and I go to car shows and races together. My point is that if you really like a hobby you need a someone that is supportive of it. It only makes life sweeter plus its great to say Im going to add kennebell and your wife says "well how much" with with a grin I say 300hp+ ponies, her response "I get to drive it first".
