Bro you are 22, you have a whole life ahead of you. You don't know how many people have told me (20yo) not to get married. Have fun and experience the world. You will definitely find someone else, if this does twork out. Who knows it might end up being ok in the end anyways.

An old saying. If you love someone, let them go. If it was meant to be, they will come back.

Being alone or chatting on this forum is not what you need right now.

agreed.
a lot of us have been through some very similar incidents... girls are just quirky like that man... the wine prolly really helps right now but you should just call up some buddies or family or whoever is nearby that you can lean on for now...
don't worry man, if it was meant to be it'll be! :) and if not its was good while it lasted and she prolly doesn't deserva ya! ;)
gl man feel free to PM me if you wanna vent some more i've been through something awfully similar and its all good now! :)

I feel for you, but like someone said here, if your 22 and she's 24, that's a huge XP difference between you guys, especially at that age. I dunno what to tell you, I never been heartbroken before, and Im in a similar situation like you, 22 and dating my gf for 9 months, I love her, will it work out? Who knows?

I think it's probably happened to all of us. You know what the best thing is? Talking to other people. After I got dumped, I only had one real friend who would just walk around and talk with me. And getting drunk isn't a solution. I got drunk, and it only made the pain stop for a little while. Talk to people, get back on your feet, pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, and you'll be fine. Trust me...

1. You're only 22. It may hurt right now, but in a year you'll probably feel silly for being so dramatic.

2. Sorry, but eight months is *nothing*. You really thought you were going to propose to this girl? Eight months at 22? Yikes.

She was a friend of mine for 20 years, and we hadnt seen each other in a few years until my sisters wedding that we were both at. We started dating, and for the next 8 months we were in one of the most passionate relationships.. I cant even describe it. I opened up to her and trusted her with everything. All I could think about was how much I couldnt wait to propose to her in a couple months.

God.. it hurts so bad..

Then a few days ago (completely without any signs whatsoever) she tells me that she thinks we might have rushed things and that she wants to slow down a little. Of course red flags start going up all over the place, and I obviously start to worry and get depressed. After more talking, she dumps me.

She tells me that she isnt ready to be in a relationship of any kind and that she isnt going to see other people. She wants to be friends, and maybe see how things work out in the future.

I just dont know if I can do that. To feel completely abandoned by someone youve known and trusted for so long.. god.. im not sure I can ever even talk to her again, but I love her so much, and part of me says to stay friends with her so that if there is just the slightest chance of getting back together it might work..

I dont know what to do.. I feel so alone, god I need help...

I can't take time to read the entire thread. Your story is crap. You're 22, but you knew her for 20 years before you didn't see her for several years, then you were together for 8 months...

I was with my ex for 4yrs and I was 4.5yrs younger then her...yes it hurts like a mofo...

You just need to MAN UP, BITCH SLAP YOURSELF AND GET THE F0CK OVER IT and stop being a PUSSY about it. Your bitching and whining is going to do NOTHING.

Hit the gym etc. Girls will nearly always appreciate a guy that is in shape then one that is out of shape. No one would agree otherwise, like a guy would prefer a girl to be in shape then out of shape.

You bench press a hell of a lot of weight for your bodyweight. Won't find many guys in any gym bench press 1.3x bodyweight for 10reps. I hope that wasn't on a smith machine!

At least you nailed her a bunch of times right? :thumbsup:

Move on and spend time with your mates and go out and meet a few girls :thumbsup:
