I did the same thing in November! I was doing a photoshoot and the girl and I talked for HOURS. It was insane. I nearly instantly had feelings for her and decided that if I could feel this way about someone, I truely wasn't in love with my current (ex) girlfriend. I did some thinking and also came to the conclusion you wrote above.

BTW, we dated for 2 years, but a first love is hard to get rid of and you just want to see it working out, no matter how bad it may seem - things were easy to shrug off.

Anyways, best of luck to ya! :beer:

If your girlfriend doesn?t make you feel good about yourself and bring joy to your life, fire her. That?s what girlfriends are for.

i know you could say wtf how didn't you see that, but sometimes you don't realize something is wrong until something triggers it...

i guess that line made me think and I realized i was unhappy

IMO that could have been a mistake in your part. It's quite easy to get yourself into a situation that's like that if you're not careful. You can't take every 'good' or 'great' talk with another woman as manifest destiny that you should either be with her, or not with your current squeeze. Also you have to be careful not to allow yourself to get in those type of talks with other women while you're with someone else. Hard to do but doable if you really like the one your already with. Meaning I think it's natural for guys to stray as it's been hard-wired into our reproductive system and it's takes mental strength to deviate and stay the course.

I defintely have no regrets - it's not like it was an overnight decision. It took almost 2 months for me to come to that conclusion anyways. We had both felt like we were growing apart, upon talking to my ex. We felt 'distant' from each other for the prior 8+ months anyways. We just didn't click. End of story. :p Plus, my ex was hoping that I would never ask to marry her - she said she didn't want to have to say "no" to my face! While that was a pretty harsh blow, it was definitive that I had made the right deicison and I have never felt guilty or had any of those 'did I make the right decision' moments.

At least I now know what I am looking for in a girl. :)

Sometimes it takes something simple to wake you up from a daze.

Sometimes the most mundane thing can get you thinking correctly.

girl threads without pictures are always disappointing, yet now that there is a thread with an actual picture, it leaves me empty and unsatisfied
