if the girl's blind to see who you are...
then she's doing you a favor.

move on.
no man deserves this kinda mistreatment.

well... except, pedophiles and rapest.

... where them pics you promised? :)

... and making new friends (guys and gals) is simple in college. Remember they're in the same boat as you where they don't really know anyone (unless it's a small community college... and even so). This is especially true if you live in the dorms. Don't worry about finding someone there... it sux that she'll be at the same school because the last thing you want to see is her and someone else (can't help but think), but with any luck you guys will be different things at different ends of the campus.

<< i guess this is easier for me to say this on a forum than in person.
my girl also left me for someone else. She was and is a very wonderful person that ive ever known. The problem was that she wasnt from the same culture as i am. i was with her for 3 years too and we had some very wonderful times. I went to singapore, hong kong with her and had such good times.
The hard part is that she loved me too but she had to go her separate way since her mum wouldnt accept someone else besides from her culture. She explained this to me long ago and we both knew what we were getting into. It was so hard for the both of us.
Even though we "broke" up many times for this reason, we'd always call each other the next day again and get back together.
Finally she couldnt take it anymore and told me that it was over.
I really loved her and i thought that was best for her as well.

i think of her every night before i sleep and i hope shes doing well.

That sucks zoiks. How old are you guys? If you guys are college-age (sounds like you are since you traveled w/ her), don't you think (and more importantly doesn't SHE think) that she can make her own decisions instead of letting her parents do it for her? Or is the tradition engrained into her already...

i'm sorry.. but eakers' comment was just too hilarious... learn linux... hahaha

as for the GF, you're only what, 18 now... there's lots of time.. if she changed her mind just because of that one little trip.. maybe it just wasn't meant to be

Ouch man, I'm really sorry to hear it. I remember my gf of a year and a half dumping me when she got that feeling of freedom.. crushed me for awhile.. then one day a few months later she came crying to me telling me how she never fell out of love and she just got scared, etc.. etc.. and let me tell you, telling her that I'd never get back together with her was one of the most gratifying feelings ever, perhaps that's somewhat sadistic, but it's true.

Don't do anything stupid. Go to the prom and don't be an @ss about it.

You can have your own life at college and still have her as a friend. If you work it just right and don't blow it, you can even have her as a "friend with privleges." :p

i'm sure you wanted to keep you high school sweet heart...
for the rest of your life...
but fact of life is...
it almost never happens.

and even when it does...
it doesn't just happen naturally.

the time between highschool graduation and college is a very interesting time when it comes to relationships.

i've been there.
my girl friend from high school... whom i had crush on since 6th grade...
broke up with me our senior year...

it was a crusher...
and i didn't get over her until too many years later.

some times life gives you a difficult question for you to answer.
some times, it gives you impossible ones.

you just got to move on.

and trust me, in the end, you'll come to realize that better things are to come.

you've only lived a very small portion of your life...
and as you're facing college, your real life will begin soon.

Similar thing happened to me. Don't sweat it.

For me though I had a kind of affirmation that it was for the best. I saw my ex at our 10 yr hs reunion and she was FAT! She had extra curves where there should have been none. LMAO
