I just broke up with my GF today

[blahblah99]

It's been about 3 months since we went out. Long story short, she basically said "maybe we should just be friends." Dropped that on me tonight right before I dropped her off to go home. I know she did really bad last semester so I gave her some study time this semester, which started about a week ago. Her reason was that she's so busy with school that she feels bad for not giving me attention and it's bothering her to the point that she can't study or do work. Then she told me we can give it another try in summer after the semester ends. I told her summer is a long ways from here and I don't know what is going to happen by then.

Should I wait and give it another try? Or move on? I'm leaning towards moving on and finding another girl. It'll give me some time to actually work on my car and build my turbo engine between the time gap.

"she basically said "maybe we should just be friends."
Sorry to tell you this.....but once you enter THE FRIEND ZONE you can never get out. Move on man..... Move On

When I was just a baby, mama sat me on her knee
She told me "Boy you listen there's a lot you oughta see
A lot of pretty women, gonna try and tie you down
You don't know what you're missin' if you never look around"

 

[blahblah99]

Yeah she broke up with me. She wanted to give it another go after this semester ended but I told her I'm not going to be lingering around until summer.

Break ups are a perfect time to work on the car, go fishing, study maybe....

Be cool and see what happens later...

I agreed with eakers, if she can't manage her school and relationship then she shouldn't be dating. As for your questions.
Well it all depends on you if you want to give it another shot or not. If you can't wait or you don't have enough confidence in the relationship ahead then move on. You had 3 months to know her, you decide. My Theology teachers said "Think negative about her and never meet" that will help you decide. You can always tell her that you will give it another shot and during the time of the gap, you can work on you thing and try to find someone new. Maybe you'll find something better. It goes for the same for her.

They're also good times to drink beer and find a skank.

Got the MP3? Cant seem to find it on kAZAA

hate to be the bad guy... but what happened to you is EXACTLY what happened to me 4 years ago. Move on because it's not worth the emotional investment in waiting. I'm saying that because 4 years ago, my GF found someone else afterwards.

Here's what ya do:

1. Leave it open ended
2. Try and find some immediately
3. If you don't have any by summer, hit it up until you can find something else (keep it casual)
4. When you find something, pull out the "friends" routine

 

[blahblah99]

Thanks, you guys actually gave some decent help. I normally don't post personal matters on here but since no one knows me, its all good. I don't want to keep it at the friendship level because of the emotional ties attached. Now that it's over I can spend weekends in my backyard building up my engine, get my mack on with the ladies, and actually save some money from going out all the time.

Solid advice. What I would have suggested. Keep in mind, #3 does not say become romantically involved with her again. It is just for fun if that happens.

I got news for you Einstein...only subject she was studying was Male Anatomy 101.

Move on now while it only hurts a little.
