I hear you... trust me, it gets easier. I have been there (and am kinda still there :sorry: ). It's been much easier for me... and I think... at least for me, I am starting to really let him go. :/ To sound cliche, it does take time to heal.

Aglee.

My calculation says the time is 7 years for a person to completely let go of his/her ex's because that's the time it takes for all your body cells be replaced by new ones. You are physically a new person.
I also think that is the time it takes for a person to become a virgin again starting from the last time he/she had sex.
Of course, that's when you don't have children with your ex, otherwise the bond, stronger or weaker, is always there.

(I have many other strange thoughts like these.)

So, about my date.

It went well. Better than expected, even. I met him at the coffee shop. He offered to pay for my smoothie (It was really hot today, wasn't feeling the coffee) and usually I'm not comfortable with that but he insisted so I didn't fight him. It was a sweet gesture.

So, here's what I learned (I know him through friends so I basically just knew going into it that he is a Christian, presents himself well, is nice and asked me out.) : He just finished his first year as a pre-med student. His nuclear family and upbringing is not too far from being textbook perfect. He's got a summer job and car. We have semi-similar music tastes. He's witty-funny, not just slapstick-funny; my kinda humor. Etc, etc, etc. The conversation flowed well and wasn't awkward at all. I was expecting at least a little awkwardness in the beginning because we don't know each other all that well but it was really nice.

I had a good time. He said he'd call me at the end of the week and we parted on the note of, "Maybe we can go out again soon... if you'd like to, of course." (He said that) Soooo.... :D. I'm happy. Plus, I looked pretty flipping cute if I do say so myself. (Thanks, hair gods!)


So, so far, so good.

The only unfortunate thing is that I now have Come And Get Your Love by Real McCoy stuck in my head.
(90's music came up our discussion and we both started singing it to try to remember who it was by)

Enjoy! :p

thanks for sharing Bitnd12. I always find it exciting to hear the good in other people's lives especially relationship wise!

There's a guy I like right now. We met online and we have spoken on the phone. Now it has become more often:) And we talk each time for at least 3 hours or longer. And then he's the one to first bring up when the next time is that we can talk. And the awesome thing about it is...is that he was initially attracted to me because of my relationship with Christ and where I am in Him. That's very inspiring for me because I want that to be most important! It's been great:D We'll see where God takes this.

I crush my books and folders every night when I fall asleep over them. That's all the action I'm getting these days.

How do you figure that out?

Well, things didn't work out with me and him. I just honestly can't see us dating and I feel I need to concentrate more on my relationship with the Lord at this time. He was dissapointed and I felt horrible. I still feel horrible. :(

So soon?

Aww. Sorry to hear it.

I somewhat know how you feel. I had to face the facts that my original crush just wasn't right for me. I was fortunate enough to find another on here but you never can tell how things will work out.

I hope you have better luck with the next one and remember, "Use the force Luke."

:confused:

Wait... nevermind :doh:

I actually think this is a pretty mature response to the situation. You're being honest with God, him, and yourself and that's always a good thing. I hope everything works out for you.:)
