Well, simply put, my girlfriend and I broke up tonight. We have been going together for two years this summer. This girl was pretty much everything to me, but things have gone sorta downhill lately. We broke up late last year only to get back together in early Feb. of this year. During the time off I got pretty bad with the whole depression thing (I now see how stupid I was) and am refusing to go back on that road again. I'm 17, will be a senior next year, and looking to just focus on myself for a while.

So I am seeking help from the wise and experienced. You guys got any good or special tips for moving on? Any input is appreciated. Thanks guys.

 

find another girl n move on.

 

Your young... wait until college... you'll be able to pick and choose which girls you want to bang.

 

Two years is enough anyways being 17. Move on and you'll forget about her once you hook up w/the next lucky girl. Hang with your buds too, that's always a good way to not think the way your probably thinkin' right now.

 

hey bro.. I know what you are going through. ever since the 2nd grade ive been going out with my current girlfriend Becky... aka becksmister. She dumped me when I Was in 4th grade for eddy colson, god I hated that kid. then 6th grade we got back together... I can understand where u are coming from. Just find a new one and move on. Thats best advice u can take.

 

Yeah I'll def be hangin out with my buddies more. Between working, working out, hangin with my friends and thinking of new ideas for my truck hopefully she won't be on my mind too much. Plus a week from today I'm headin to Daytona all week and then goin to the CokeZero 400 . I'm hoping that will help a lot too. But thanks for the advice so far guys!

 

just think.. she coulda gone with you and sat next you under your arm and both of you could have had a great time.... too bad she dumped you for cheating on her with a squirrel

 

You must have E-*****. You know, the kind that you get only when you are on the internet talking to people half way across the country. Be proud.

 

Just stay busy and dont think of her. The feeling will pass. It will probably take some time. The first woman i really fell in love with was back when I was 18, We were together for almost 3 years and spent every momment together. Now almost 4 years later, we still see eachother at stores, gas stations, ect.. every 5 or 6 months... We wave, and never really speak. I still to this day, think about her from time to time. Dont worry man, just stay busy and do your best to keep a positive attitude.

 

Thank you for bringing back the maturity of this thread.

It's good to hear about other people's experiences bc it sorta lets you know its possible. Thanks for your story man it really helps.

 

2nd grade? you sure can come up with some big ones...

 

Suck it up, learn from the mistakes and move on! Best advice from me is to take your ego out of the picture, you will see a whole new perspective once that is accomplished.
Honestly at 17 your life is just now getting started. Read a book called "The System" it will clear a lot of things up and prepare you for whats next.

Stay positive that is pretty much all I have to say, I broke up with my girlfriend of 4 years like 3 months ago thought my world was coming to an end. I have a new girlfriend now who actually enjoys the same things I do, never again will I leave a Metallica Concert 3 songs into it because it is too loud I should have left my ex in the middle of detroit for that one.

 

at 17 you dont want to be tied down with anyone trust me.finish high school..go on to college etc... get your career going and start throwing cash in the bank.when chicks start seeing you have your life going in the right direction youll have plenty to choose from.your late teens and early twenties are for having fun and dating lots of chicks. time heals all things when it comes to breaking up etc...

 

Girls are like cars on the street! One goes by every second, some look, & run better than others! Some have extensive bodywork, some have been hit before, some haven't! It's up to you to find the better one for your tastes! Heck some even are still on warranty!.................Good luck!.......
