Here is a better question, after breaking up with a girl you love, how do you know when to tell the next one? I was just thinking, what if the old feeling haven't died yet?
I got you G... I'm at this point RIGHT now and this is what I've gathered..
You don't have to stop loving someone to love someone else. Truth is, God wants us to love everybody anyway (and I'm not the Jesus-y type). There are parts of me that will always love what my ex was to me at that time, but that's all there is to it. It's like your favorite clothes when you're a kid. You can outgrow them without hating them.
I started talking to my girl last August... 3 weeks after I broke up with the love of my life at the time. I didn't get over said love until...what...May of this year? I dunno. But you now what, lil mama was there for me for every tear, every confused feeling, every let down -- all of it. I never had to hide my emotions for my ex from her because she understood how HARD and how MUCH I loved that woman and how much I grieved for what could have been. It was all of her patience and understanding that made me REALIZE what being loved was supposed to feel like. At first I just loved being loved, and I kept it real with her about that. She didn't hold it agagainst me that I didn't feel as strongly for her as she felt for me. A few "firsts" later, I realized she had been waiting to give me her love ever since she met me 5 years ago. Up until this point, I had only looked after her well-being mentally. She was like a little sister to me, so I'd always give her "role model advice"., but after we started talking and after she started holding me down emotionally, I developed a sense of responsibility for her emotional well being as well. That's all it takes... love isn't magical. It's a choice. I didn't fall in love with my lady, I stepped into it slowly and cautiously this time. The water is always cold at first, but then you warm up to it. As long as she's who I think she is and who I'm molding her to become, I see no reason why I should forsake what we have. That's all love is man...
Makes sense. Right now its still in that new phase of the break up (2 weeks). Plus we work together
. I'm not over her of course but I feel like I'm almost at a point to talk to new girls. That's the scary part, meeting new girls. Learning to trust them and get to know them will be so different.
Hopefully the next, whoever that may be, is ready what I'm ready for. My ex is still somewhat young, so there was maturity issues there. Stuff we argued about was childish looking back on it and she has a funny look on life. Its crazy now thinking about some of the things she said and thought. She honestly felt and has been feeling that after 3.5 years, she deserved a engagement ring by now (She's 19 BTW
). How you feel, you deserve an ENGAGEMENT ring, but your saying you're unsure about what you want at this point and if yoy're was doing the right thing by being with me.
Right now I just need someone who lives in my reality. You get a ring when you EARN it. A female who knows what she wants and what she wants to do in life. One whose sure of herself and her decisions.
I don't want to say the relationship was a mistake, because I learned a lot and it was great, but looking forward, no more waiting on maturity. Come with it or don't come at all.
Your new girl sounds way, way better than your old girl
. Classic posts.
I keep getting the weird feeling I'm going to keep running into tac heads for a while though
. Tac heads = girls not wife-able BTW. But I just keep wondering where the hell am I going to find someone who is going to give what I do. Its some selfish, childish females out there and I know/have known too many of them.
