So I was just dumped by the guy I was seeing for the last two weeks... only two weeks! I mean, yeah relationships don't always work out, I know that, but damn it.. I really liked that guy, although I wasn't sure in the beginning.. We were friends for two years, but we didn't see each other often before two weeks ago. But I guess starting that sort of relationship after he broke up a few months ago with his girlfriend for 3 years was looking for trouble.. He said he liked me a lot but wasn't ready for a serious relationship.

My ex said we should only remain friends after 3 months. The guy before him was simply not serious about me at all and I ran away because I didn't want to be played around with.

What did I do wrong? I mean.. I was simply myself all the time. I'm soon to turn 20 and I was never loved properly.. It hurts.

I'm simply feeling really down right now and I don't think I'm going to get interested in guys for a while. :(

What do you guys think?

I wish I really know what exactly to say....other than I'm sorry =( What comes to mind: Sometimes we don't do anything wrong. I see it this way; I'd rather wait for someone who cares about ME- as.....well, me, than have a bunch of 'meh' relationships. I am NOT saying yours were. What I am saying is that some things take time, especially the stuff that matters. You certainly aren't alone in the whole relationships-before-twenty thing (I'll say this, I'm in that age bracket...). It doesn't mean you're a bad person or did anything wrong. Stuff happens. And I agree. Not having a relationship or dealing with one that doesn't work out.....It hurts.....a lot.

But, that doesn't mean the future is going to be bad. So you don't think you're going to be interested in guys for a while....no biggie. The world nowadays pushes the whole rush-relationships thing, so it's hard to keep a level head let alone a perspective on things. Just keep plugging along- find a hobby, something to occupy your time, or vent. Sometimes time is the best remedy, as much as it sucks.

I wish I had a bunch of past experience to draw on- but.....I don't. I do hope I helped in some way. -Tirion

p.s. It's silly and stupid, but it works to always lift my spirits. icanhascheeseburger.com

Icanhascheeseburger.com is a godsend in helping on things like this, as silly and stupid as it is.

But more seriously, there isn't much to say except I'm sorry, and that you didn't do anything wrong, really. I don't see how I or anyone else can fault you for what happened. I suppose love just sucks like that sometimes. I don't suppose I can draw on that many experiances, since I haven't dated much, but, still, from what I can tell, you did nothing wrong. I wish there was more I can do, except offer my condolences, and if you need to talk about it, you can always talk to me. Like Johnny Rzeznik said in his song "Iris": "... Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive..."

Don't fret, eh? There's plenty of fish in the sea.

Just wait, you'll look back on this one day with a sheepish grin and go, 'Man, I was washed up about THAT?' xD I know I certainly have.

The grass is greener on the other side, my friend. I know these may seem like empty words now, but just think on them and try not to feel bad. The heart heals with time, and when it does, it is most glorious.

Just be patient and don't do anything rash. <3
