Me and a friend were just talking about this Friday night, he and his girl are having BIG problems, BIG! Funny how you feel like you are the only one that has ever hurt that bad and that no one else could've possibly hurt this bad and understand. We all go through that. We've all been through it and we understand, too bad we all don't have friends like FivepointOH have.. I have a few good friends but, hooked you up with a stripper?!?! I need friends like that!!
I don't think age has a whole lot to do with what you are going through, all woman and humans in general are like this. She wants her cake and eat it too(I never really understood this saying really, what good is the cake if you can't eat it?!?!). She wants to date but knowing you are there makes her secure. You called way too much, you did push her away doing that(in my experience). Best thing to do is to not be her security blanket, DO NOT be her fall back guy. If she doesn't respect you then it won't work, works both ways. Calling all the time and seeming 'needy' will not get you any respect.. have you ever had a girl do that to you? Its smothering and just causes a natural instinct to get away. I agree that you should get out and try to get her off your mind(strip clubs always make me feel better
).
Chris, if I ever need a real good excuse.. I'm might have to ask your assistance(I thought I had some good ones).
