NickNickNick Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 My girlfriend and I (we dated for 1 year and a half) both agreed to go on "a break" for the summer on April 14th. I thought it would be kinda easy for me, because we would be living about 2 hours apart anyway, and we agreed to remain friends and communicate whenever. It was ok for about the first 2 weeks. However, now, I am completely lost without her. All I can think about is how much I want her back, and how worried I am that she won't feel the same way come the end of summer (or sometime before then). What do I do? It's only May 6th, and I'm already freaking out. I miss her so much. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
sportsloving Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Talk to her about how you are feeling and tell her that you don't want the break. Distance is a harsh thing, but it won't be forever and two hours isn't anything at all. Much luck and I hope it all works out Link to post Share on other sites
Author NickNickNick Posted May 7, 2004 Author Share Posted May 7, 2004 Yah...I've told her. She knows how I feel, but she doesn't want to be together. Am I hurting myself if I try to talk to her? Should I give her the distance she needs to work out her confusion? It's been 4 days since we've spoken, and the pain is going down a bit. What if she tries to contact me? Then what should my strategy be? I hate playing these love games...*sigh*. Link to post Share on other sites
LILUIL Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Patience my friend. She's away from you, you miss her dearly. It's okay coz the game goes both ways. Give her time to miss you and then u will know if the affection is mutual. Cool down! Think of how you WILL feel when she says at the end of the day that she felt the same way you are feeling now. She's yours for keeps then. Link to post Share on other sites
pixiegrrl28 Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Unfortunately, the best thing you can do here is give her the space she needs. People don't know what they have until it is gone. My ex has asked for space also, and even though it is killing me I know this is what I have to do. We are all here for you. Link to post Share on other sites
Regulus Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 I've never understood the "space" thing. Basically it's someone who wants to break up but doesn't have the backbone to pull the trigger or they want to see if there is anything better out there while keeping the other person as a safety net. This leaves one person in total limbo. You don't want to play games so don't play them. I'd give her plenty of distance alright.... Consider it a break up and go out and start dating others... Never wait around for anyone. Link to post Share on other sites
