QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 22, 2008 -> 06:45 PM) Where's Sonik? Warren vs. Lake Zurich Friday! Bring it! Go Devils! Hahah well i really feel LZ sucks. They can't even compare to the last two years. We won state last year, I'm happy about that, but I'm at SIU now. This is my home. Go Salukis, beat UNI!

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Sep 10, 2008 -> 07:35 AM) My first thought when reading your post was..."What's over?" I mean, nothing started, right? Don't sweat it...well, sweat it a little, cuz it's human nature. But, give her some time and things should at least get back to being friends. By the way, where does she go to school? Is she really far away? Well I'm down here at SIU, and shes up in Wisconsin.

So now i basically f***ed everything up. I hooked up with a girl last night, and i just told her about it. I guess that was pretty wrong to do, but if she didnt really have the feelings i had for her why should she feel so upset about it? But she's just told me that everything is over between us. Wow, just f***.

I love everything you guys are saying and this is really helping me to start to get over everything, its kinda therapeutic to just get it out of my mind and put it on here. Like i really feel that she will be there the rest of my life, now whether we take our relationship farther during that time is what ill have to just wait and see. But this girl basically is my life, she is my best friend. We'll see what happens. But i love SIU and i'm gonna start to do what she wants to do and thats to be more open to something new. Really i can't say thank you enough to all of you.

Either way, you're much better off doing what she's doing, and dating other people. If she's lying, you'll soon forget about her. Trust me. College has a way of helping you with that. If she's telling you the truth, you might've gotten really lucky and found someone special really early in your life. Truthfully, though, I think she's playing you. Some of what you said seems to indicate otherwise, but #1 she's a teenager, and #2 it could also be a case of her liking you enough to come up with excuses and put off telling you how she really feels, yet not enough to think of you as anything more than a friend. Oh and study hard. I can guarantee that she is not lying to me about this. We both know how important we are to each other, and i feel blessed to have met her in my last year of high school. She's told me she can't see her life without me in it, and i feel the same way about her. She's become everything to me, and i don't think that will really change with the amount we talk, and how open we are with each other. I guess i should feel good that she doesn't want to ruin any future possibility by dating now. We'll just see what happens, hopefully its the best for both of us.

Well i'm trying to find a way to get over this, since it doesn't look like anything will happen between us in the near future. I realize I'm in a new place now with a lot more people, and i love it here. It's not helping the situation that i told her about me drinking last night, she won't answer her phone. Grrrrrrreat. But thank you guys for everything, and if you have anything else, post it. Flash, i fully understand everything you're saying, and i'm gonna take what you said to heart. These are things i need to realize, and hopefully this will all work out for me in the end. She's just not ready to take it past the best friend level. But she does say if were still there after college, she doesn't know what would hold her back. Now 4 years from now is a long time, so i'm not really thinking anything into this.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Sep 7, 2008 -> 06:40 PM) I really hope you only take our advice to supplement your own. What I've learned from "advice" is the best anyone can provide is your own. No one here aside from you knows this girl, or your situation, in its entirety. Even though you described what has happened in general terms, there were still 9 months of history that you neglected to post. How often did you talk/hang out/etc? Do you share mutual friends? Have you met her parents? Have you told her you loved her, or are just assuming so? There are literally hundreds of small questions which may combine to influence my advice and ultimately effect your relationship. I just mention this because several years ago I was attempting to date this one girl and sought the advice of a dating forum. After posting my story, I was offered advice on "playing hard to get," "avoiding her (no contact)," etc. All these actions are intriguing, but when applied to the girl I sought, completely backfired. She ultimately thought I wasn't interested with all the games I played. I learned my lesson, and have better off ever since. I love coming across advice columns in Maxim, or other magazines such as Men's Health; where men are seeking the advice of supposed professionals on relationships that are complex, yet, manage to fit within two paragraphs. I'm sure it applies to women even more, especially since Cosmopolitan is considered must read material. No wonder people are miserable, haha. When i say we were best friends i literally mean we are inseparable. Whenever she was with her other friends or i was with my friends we'd always be talking. Whenever either of us had an open night or we both ended being up open we would hang out. Since moving here, ive talked to her every day on the phone when i get back from class, and we still talk just as much. I've met her parents and they think i'm great. I tell her i love her every day, and she says it back. But now the pressure of me telling her i want to wait is becoming too much for her because it's all she thinks about, because she feels that she needs to date other guys to realize I'm right. But that would hurt me so much to see her with another guy, so idk how I can live with that. It's not like she's a slutty girl at all, I'm the first guy she has ever done stuff with. She just feels that right now, shes not ready to be with me, because she doesnt want to screw up a possibly even better relationship with me later in our lives. But, this all just drives me nuts and confuses me.

I'm basically f***ed in fantasy if Brady is out. Wooooo

I feel like such an loser posting my problems on ST but i feel like it might help me to just get this out of my head and ask you guys. Alright so me and this girl met in December of last year as seniors in high school and quickly became best friends, but i always kinda liked her and she knew this but we eventually got over all that. Things basically stayed the same until towards the end of the summer me and her kinda experimented a little. This all happened the week i left for college. And while things didn't change between us I felt that we should date. Now we both go to different schools, and she doesn't feel she's ready to date because she wants to see if i'm the right guy for her by meeting other guys in college. I love this girl and she loves me back but she's just got these walls up that are keeping her from dating me. I know there are plenty of girls out there, but she makes me so happy, and i just don't know what to do. I want to wait for her, but i'm afraid my heart will be broken in the process. I don't even know what the best option for me is, which is why I'm asking all of you.
