1969 Mach1/Sam:

I'm glad to see you appreciated all the comments and advice, as it was meant with the best intentions and in most cases, based on experience.

We all mean well but you have to remember that we only have the information you supply and that we only get to hear your side of the story. Based on that, we give our advice and hope it helps.
In this case, you decided on your own to part company with this girl, at least as a couple, and of course most of us here will agree with your decision.

As for telling you that it 'doesn't matter', well, let me clarify that statement. Of course what happens in your personal life matters - a lot. I think we all realize that, Sam. What we're trying to do is give you some perspective, which is rather difficult at 17, I know.

We're just attempting to let you know that although this kind of break-up is emotionally painful (at any age, BTW) it will pass and it won't really affect the rest of your life.

You may or may not remember this girl in five years but you'll be very much over her, and probably a few others by then. It's hard, it's sad and it's even painful to break up...no one means to trivilize that reality...but the hurt feeling and sense of loss does pass and you'll be fine, in time. We just want you know that, guy.

Thanks for the kind words of appreciation and best of luck to ya' as you move on with your life.
