SHOULD I BREAK UP WITH MY GIRLFRIEND?


[+] serious ballot by xxxxxxxx
created Mon Apr 04, 05
Okay back in November I discovered that Heidi had feelings for me, and the more I was around her the more I realized I had feelings for her as well. I'm 23 and she's 17, but that didn't particularly matter to me. We started a relationship, and it was nice. The problem is, she doesn't show any emotion or genuine appreciation. I'm not a material guy, but I took her out on Valentine's Day, took her to her favorite restaurant, spent over $100 for the night, never got anything more than "Thanks," didn't even get a gift. She doesn't give compliments, even though I compliment her all the time. I wrote her a two-page letter that I slipped into a card on Val's Day -- it basically said how much I care for her, why I care for her, what I like about her, and moments I realized I felt something for her. She skimmed over it and simply said, "Thanks." And she always ended up not fulfilling her promises to hang out with me -- either she's suddenly sick with a cold or she "double booked" like she did with a date last week, and even after we rescheduled, she couldn't see a movie because she said she had to be home by 7, though I found out later that was a crock of shit. This all said, I tend to use my heart over my head, and I love when we're together and I love seeing her smile, so obviously, rationale comes secondary to me. That and I'm a hopeless romantic and an eternal optimist, so I keep thinking that things will soon get better. What should I do? (NOTE: This is a serious ballot. No bullshit, please.)

Dump her -- cut your losses. 25
Tell her how you feel and give her an ultimatum. 14
Tell her how you feel. 9
Quit being a douche bag and move on with someone older. 5
Start looking for some gravy 3
first tell her how you feel and if no changes occur then break up with her 3
Hang on and see if it gets better. 0

Be gentle with your wording, though.

Break up with her. She might be a nice person and all that but if she's gonna be a tomato through the relationship then don't waste your time on her.

Or you could talk to her and see what she thinks. But, anytype of change due to this "talk" would be force and fake so best thing to do is break up with her. That is if I were you. Some people would disagree with this.
by Kaiser on Mon Apr 04, 05 1:34pm [+]

Nuck is right but remember that what is most important is how she is making you feel about yourself and if it's not good, maybe she's not the one. A good partner appreciates you and makes you feel like you are the best thing ever!
by Tadema on Mon Apr 04, 05 1:35pm [+]

She sounds very young -- not a 'mature' 17. Perhaps it will work five years down the road, when she's 22 and you're 28. Six years would not a big deal then, but it might be too great a difference now. Just my opinion.

been there. It most likely will not get better. Sounds like your a cool dude, spend your time and money on someone who appreciates your feelings and kindness.
Besides, she is eating up you chasing her, as soon as you quit she will either get jaelous that you turned your attention to someone else or she will forget about you in which case she didnt have feelings for you at all anyway so you win either way.

No offense my fellow man bitch, but you sound like you're the chick and she's got the weiner here. I think before you cut her off, be a man. I'm not being sexist LADIES, I'm being serious. Maybe she's turned off by your mr. NiceGuy-sensitive-wanna-talk-about-it routine. Try making plans and blowing her off instead of the other way around. If it doesn't bother her, then maybe she really doesn't wanna spend time with you. But by all means, seize your manhood and see what happens. And if it doesn't end up working, you can still seize your manhood in another way and be satisfied for awhile.

C-Tuck, you sound like every girls dream man and there is one lucky girl out there, just waiting to meet you, but sadly I dont think its the one you are with now. In this type of relationship (and yes, Ive been there), eventually you end up demoralised and hurt and you are far too lovely a person to have that happen to you. *hug*

Council, an older woman would clear this matter up for you. You may have feelings for this girl (she is only 17 years old, and maybe she hasn't matured enough emotionally)however, if you are seeking all those things that you have outlined that she failed to provide, then, perhaps you should move on. Again, consider going out with a woman and not a girl, someone that is 6 years older than yourself, you may be pleasantly surprised...Just a suggestion, good luck.
by Barbara_Baby_Cakes on Mon Apr 04, 05 5:15pm [+]

Yes C-Tuck an older woman is EXACTLY what you need, now what was your address again lol.
by minni_the_minx on Mon Apr 04, 05 5:24pm [+]

Are you banging her? is it good? Do you want to keep on banging her? ask yourself those life changing questions before making such a difficult decision.
by kingAlfredTheGreat on Mon Apr 04, 05 6:48pm [+]

I will ignore your sarcasm and thank you Donny boy. Yeah, I've actually taken out all windows and installed large doggy-doors.
by ThisIsNate on Mon Apr 04, 05 11:39pm [+]

This isn't a thing where maturity is a problem. Maybe she's just shy or doesn't like older men. And 5 years is all the difference, you kind of are in a different generation then her.
by Kaiser on Mon Apr 04, 05 11:51pm [+]

Her best friend (who actually said I'm too good for her) was telling me a lot of this, and that's why I was inspired to make this ballot. I still don't know how I feel -- again, with relationships I tend to ignore my head and let my heart guide me. I decided not to get online tonight during the time she was on -- didn't feel like talking to her, and wanted to see what would happen. She e-mailed me and said she really missed talking to me ("Anyways, it was really weird not talking to you at all on the internet today. I missed you a lot. A lot alot.") For her, that's showing a lot of emotion. Shit I just don't know.
by xxxxxxxx on Tue Apr 05, 05 5:05am [+]

I repeat - Are you banging her? is it good? Do you want to keep on banging her?
by kingAlfredTheGreat on Tue Apr 05, 05 6:30am [+]

That's exactly what I expected CT. Soon as you take the helm and give her the cold shoulder, she gets the message. It won't work forever but maybe at least until you can figure things out.
by ThisIsNate on Tue Apr 05, 05 8:39am [+]

Eh, my contention is that acting more masculine sometimes(sterotypically speaking) makes her feel more feminine and thus she is eh... more in touch with the emotional...stuff. Don't bank on it though. I just like theories.

How old is Hillary?
by ThisIsNate on Tue Apr 05, 05 11:40am [+]

I wish I was tappin' her, lol. Maybe tomorrow I'll be able to. I've suffered from depression in the past, so I have to be really in touch with my own feelings, just so I can prevent recurrences. That's why I might seem almost female in how I know about my feelings, lol. Heidi isn't a really 'feminine' girl -- she doesn't operate that way, as I've found out. It is good to know that she does get the message and that I do have some control as you said, TIN. Hopefully it's more permanent. Maybe I can get lucky and feel detached enough to get laid tomorrow.

Putting your heart over your head can be a really moral thing to do, but sometimes you have to just have a good talk with her, and think rationally about what the future can hold. Tell her how you feel, and why you're upset. If she sounds sincere, and really feels bad about making you feel bad, then give her another chance, but if she just says "oh. I see." then it might be time to move on. Love can cause a lot of happiness, but can also cause a huge amount of sorrow.

Some people just don't care for those pointless social rituals.
by thc2883 on Tue Apr 05, 05 5:48pm [+]

Good news, folks -- we worked it out, she's more open now, and we're staying together!
by xxxxxxxx on Sun Apr 10, 05 3:52am [+]

And now we've been broken up since late May. Thank fuckin' goodness.
by xxxxxxxx on Tue Oct 04, 05 10:02pm [+]

"I tend to use my heart over my head" that just sounds gay, shit i wish i wasn't like this and learn to do that
by perrodeldesierto on Fri May 19, 06 7:34am [+]

I've been down this road. She's not interested. Move on.
by The_Dude on Fri Jun 09, 06 11:04am [+]

I think you should probably maybe find some more mature for your age. I have been in a similar sitiuation before and trust me, i know what its like. I know that its hard to do, especially when you really care for her, but bud ya gotta use your head. Just do what you thinks best. I feel for ya.
by Guest User from [208.122.84.62] on Fri Dec 01, 06 8:11am [+]

i think this girl is way too young and inexperienced to know her true feelings. give it time unless you are misreable and see if she changes.
by Guest User from [71.28.240.86] on Wed Dec 12, 07 10:59am [+]

Voted : Quit being a douche bag and move on with someone older.
I think 17 year olds do not really have it together enough for a mature romantic relationship. And if she is immature for her age, she may be a child in a teenager's body. 23 really is too old for a 17 year old KID.
