is it normal to feel a little awkward after dating for someone for over 2 years, breaking up and then dating someone new. Im so afraid of getting hurt again, and afraid its not gonna be the same.
anyone?

i think that you have a vaild excuse not to trust someone new. i totally agree with you.

but i don't think that it should stop you from dating. even if it's just a fling, it's someone new to hang out with and it doesn't necessarily have to pan out to anything serious. maybe that's what you should do. look for new friends.

as far as it not being the same, of course it's not going to be the same. that's why it's a relationship with someone new. but i know what you mean.

hope that you feel better... simply because i know exactly how you feel. :smile:

i think it'd almost be weird to not feel awkward after such a long relationship.

You study anthropology; you should know the answer. :P hehe jk.
Nothing's going to be the same, my friend, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. :D

I can't imagine trusting anyone after being deep into a relationship for two years. I mean, I really wish you the best of luck with your new relationship and I hope it works out better than the last, but for me, I'm not stable enough to take that kind of blow. So, be stronger than me, and go for it man.

I was in the same situation...the new girl exceeded the old one in every single aspect even when I thought it would be the opposite

Trust me dude, it sucks a lot at first. I dated my girlfriend for four years and we broke up and are still friends, best friends. But any new girl just pales in comparrison...you realize that if you can tolerate a girl for more than 20 mins after first talking to her, you should stick with her.

yeah its completely normal to feel like that. but im sure time will fix that.

[Salomonbz90]

i've been with the same guy for almost 2 years now and he just decided on friday night to call things off for awhile. the thing is, is that i'm in school, 5 1/2 hours away from home and he's still there. we're both doing different things - he's working and i'm getting my education.

the distance was too hard for him and he really did try, which i'm so proud of. i'm not going to say that i'm not sad or upset, but it's just something that i have to get used to. i personally don't want to be with anyone else, and that's fine, because that's my choice. you know? :smile:

but it gives me plenty of time to figure out who i am and to meet a lot more people on campus... i get to enjoy the college experience.

that's just the type of advice that i gave you - take time for yourself and figure out what you want to do/be and make friends. no shame in that.

Either sit in your room yankin' it thinking about her, or go out and have fun and meet new people.
