no communication? my friend just booked a flight to germany with me in June the night before she dumped me. Now he's not sure if he can get a refund, so he wants me to come with him. My "ex" still wants him to come and wants me to visit too. I could use the closure, I suppose. But I also think it could stir up a lot of emotions in us both, causing either more problems between us or hopefully making her realize she does still love me. I don't know what to do yet.

About one year ago, my girlfriend of 3 years left me because she and my best friend (since childhood) had been messing around. behind my back
I was devestated. But I was also left in a pickle where I had no more friends...the three of us were close...
What I'm trying to say in a round about sort of way, is that the idea of closure can weigh very heavily in your mind, but don't comprimise your emotional stability for the sake of winning back your ex. I wish I had been stronger and just put her out of sight and mind, rather than continually making a fool of myself trying to win her back.
I know it's hard to let go, but as cliché as it sounds, it's the best thing you can do for yourself.
I live on a small island, and I see my ex and my ex bestfirned together almost everywhere I go...it's still hard, but my happiness is not attached to them in any way.

- start a new hobby. you're bound to meet someone new, depending on what you choose.
- go biking
- finish your website. it looks like a great start, so far!
- only time will heal your wounds
- talk to your friends about it, but by all means, don't hold it all in.
- laughter is the best medicine. go see a funny movie.
hang in there! best of luck!!

she still even talks to my friends and tells them that maybe in a couple of years when she's got things figured out that she could probably be with me again. She thinks i'd be the perfect husband for her, but for now i didn't give her enough of a challenge.
We have a contract to meet when i'm 30, (7.5 years from now) and she thinks that it's entirely possible to re-kindle a romance. But that's almost 8 years from now. I can barely remember when i was 14 years old :(

thanks again for all your help, guys. I'm having anxiety attacks and i'm really freaking out. I'm gonna need some help getting over this one...

by not letting it happen again - i mean, choose more appropriately - take your time - do your homework - figure out if the next girl you're into is compatible with you - in many ways.
you need to scream at your brain every time you think of this girl - STOP THINKING ABOUT HER!!
she is moving on and so should you.
sorry to be blunt.
another great thing to do is - sounds really weird - but take foolish action - if you've never sang karaoke - do it. if you're afraid of speaking in public - do it. it'll give you strength.

I dunno I guess I'm just too sensitive of a guy, but I still cry all the damn time over this chick. She was such a good match for me. If only you all knew the story of how we met, you'd realize that it was fate... I've had a few to drink tonight finally now that i've gotten food in my stomach, but if anyone's still interested then maybe i can tell the story tomorrow.

Alright, I see where you are in this. You're 22, and you're scared bro.
Exact same thing happened to me once...
The next thing I know, I'm going against all of my own principals, saying how I'd move up to her, take a corporate job (not that there's anything wrong with that), wear a plaid shirt, and drive a friggin' Saab for her love. No joke. Does this make sense to you? If you know me, then you know it's a big negative, rubber ducky.
PLEASE, go back to my first post copy/paste it into word. Leave it on your desktop. Re-read it as necessary.
It is clear that writing makes you feel better, and you need to keep doing it. Tomorrow, go buy a journal if you don't keep one already. Say everything you need to say to her, to the journal. If you can't sleep, write until you don't feel the urge to keep writing. If you're in a morning slump, write your way to a shiny afternoon.
Writing is cathartic and it'll keep you safe.

OK well, i had just gotten out of a short relationship which was mostly physical with a girl I worked with... not a great idea, i admit. Now this was the fall of 2000, when Napster still existed, so I was in my room downloading music and watching the Simpsons. I ran out of songs that I wanted to download so I went into the Punk chatroom to ask for any recommendations... of course nobody gave a straight answer so I forgot about it and kept watching the Simpsons...
A few minutes later, a private message popped up from somebody in the chatroom asking "Hey, do you skate?", so I replied "yeah, how'd you know?" and they replied "I recognized your name" (my nickname was Razorsk8, the kind of inlines I rode at the time)
It turned out that the person I was talking to was a German girl who was a sponsored skater by Salomon. So she gave me a URL to a site which had some of her pictures on it. I was blown away, she looked like Katie Holmes! So she gave me her ICQ number and email address.
After about a week, I realized I hadn't heard anything from her, so I decided to email her. Turns out she was at Rock Im Park in Nürnberg for a weekend and had forgotten about me. My email reminded her of me, and she thought that I must be a guy worth checking out.
We talked on ICQ for a few months and during that time I realized how much I was starting to fall for this girl, even though she was from Germany. My mother works for Air Canada so she proposed the idea that I could go meet her if I want and it wouldn't cost me very much. The girl (Anna is her name) approved the idea and invited me to come visit her, although she never thought I actually would.
So, in June of 2001 I flew to Munich to visit her. I was nervous as hell and left the airplane with giant pit stains. She was pretty nervous too, apparently, and smoked quite a few cigarettes before I walked out of the customs gate (she's not a smoker in the first place). I walked out and looked around for a few seconds before I heard "Curtis?" being called from a sweet little voice to my right. I turned and saw the most angelic face looking at me. She ran up to me and gave me a big hug.
I stayed a week with her, but it was enough time to realize that I wanted to see her again. Our first kiss was after a night out at a club when we came home late at night and sat outside in her backyard to watch the sun rise. She was resting her head on my shoulder, pretending to sleep, and I looked at her and gave her a kiss on her forehead... she looked up at me and smiled and slowly our lips met. It was the perfect first kiss... I'll never forget it.
Since then, we've visited each other many times. I've been there almost 20 times in the last (almost) 3 years, and she's been here about 7 times. We did everything together... snowboarding in the Alps, swimming in the ocean in Mallorca, the coffee shops in Amsterdam. Those moments are the most precious times in my life, and I can't imagine sharing them with anyone else.
She's so beautiful and so special to me and every time I think that I won't get to fly to Germany to see her again it breaks my heart. I feel split in half, and I dread the day that I won't get to talk to her again since we've talked almost every day since October 2000. I'm going to miss her terribly.
Hope you enjoyed the condensed version of my story :P

I just went through a break up about a month ago with my first/only love. We had been together for nearly four years, and living apart finally ended it. From reading your thoughts I can tell that you are having an extremely hard time thinking about other things. Your life is still depended on her. Over the next few weeks you will find that you are the true master of your own world and that nobody, not even this woman, can change that.
I can’t tell you how important it is to start living for yourself. Take all the advice you have found here and run with it. Stop thinking about getting back with her and try to focus on filling your life with something new. You will be surprised how much effort you will throw into a new hobby.
Trust me if she has made up her mind to not be with you, than any form of you trying to work things out now will only hurt your chances. Stop worrying about what’s going to happen when your 30. Start worrying about what’s going to happen tomorrow. The only way you’re going to get over this is to try to make yourself better where you are now. There is no use changing your life for a woman that doesn’t want to be with you. Change your life for yourself.
Oh and whenever you need to, come here and all of us will be happy to talk.
Sorry if it sounds blunt or harsh, but trust me, now’s the time to start living for yourself and no one else!

How old are you? I mean that in a nice way. If you're in your early twenties I wouldn't really sweat it, in fact I wouldn't sweat it anyway. Not to sound like a jerk, but there are so many others out there. Don't limit yourself and don't let past relationships hurt you. Life's too short and it's not worth it. Trust me. ;)

I'm 22. I will go to germany in June to see her and talk to her face to face. it really sucks cause i thought i would marry the girl one day but now I have doubts that I'll ever see her again except for June and then again when I'm 30.
I'm sorry but this is too damn hard right now. I won't be able to really deal with this until I see her in June and get my closure. There's just so many things I'm gonna miss.
