I can't imagine knowing at 20 years old what I know now about relationships with women. I understand the feelings you have, this girl is the end all be all of your existence. I don't think there is a more emotionally charged feeling in a young guy's life than being in your age range and falling in love with a girl. The only thing equal and opposite to the feeling you have now is the feeling you're going to have if she does not reciprocate your feelings toward her. There will come a moment, it will be like a light switch has been thrown, where you will realize it just isn't going to happen. In that moment, you will feel more heart sick and worn out than you ever have before. It will seem as if time has stopped and the fates have ignored your one and only true wish, to be with this girl. Try to remember, if you can, that this moment is just that...a moment. In a few months, it may take longer, about a year in my own experience, time and perspective will assert themselves and dilute the pain. I'm not sure the pain every really truly goes away for a guy when it comes to striking out with a lady, especially one you are smitten on. Looking back thru 40 year old eyes to my 18 year old self, my infatuation, pursuit, relationship, and ultimately, being kicked to the curb by the girl I thought hung the moon and stars seems a little bit comical and silly to me now. I understand this doesn't help you much now, but when you're married someday to another woman, and your wife is also your best friend, when you couldn't imagine being with anyone else except your wife, your early endeavors at romantic relationships will seem to pale in comparison. Basically, don't get too hung up on this girl dude, you might end up with her for the rest of your life, but the odds are against it. Your blood will cool with age amigo, getting older has that effect, it has to or I don't thing many of us guys would be able to make it to old, grouchy, SOB status like me....;)
thanks for the new signature. I tried copy and pasting a larger quote of it but there was a character limit. Hope you don't mind.

you know, I feel bad for guys. To approach a female and ask them to dance or for a date and to be turned down -- oh my lord, my little heart couldn't take the rejection.

When a woman really cares for a man, she will reject his advances until the time is right. But she will still flirt and do things to keep him interesting.

Men chase woman like dogs chase rabbits.

Trust me, I've been chased by plenty of dogs in my day. :/

I am at the end of my ropes, the depression from this situation is hard to live with, I literally can't eat even if i try and I'm afraid I'll die from malnutrition but if that's all you can do for me, look for my picture in the obituary. Thanks.

I don't mean to be a *******, but maybe she doesn't want to be in a relationship with someone who is as controlling and manipulative as you seem to be. "Get me my damn signature or I'll kill myself!" Sheesh.

If this is a cry for help, then please go get some. We'll still be here and we'll still share our love of King's work.

Yikes, that's no fun. Maybe some just you time, would be time happier spent?


I can handle when a man doesn't want me. I deal with it all the time. Like most women, I have very high demands. And I have come to realize men just can't handle me. I am okay with this...I was recently dumped again. But the one thing I can say is I enjoy going home alone.
