The grass isn’t always greener. Your a rebound and she will ditch you within 6 months when the excitement wears off. Stay where you are and let her be a part of your past.

She left the old BF because she was going to anyway. He is a video game playing bum. She was tired of him never having any money for bills. She considers herself back in the game and you are a potential replacement. She has other potential replacements that she is baiting now too. She will see which of you offers the best R.O.I. and decide when someone shows a strong pursuit game. If she was all that special you would not have left her before, or she would have gone to Wyoming with you. Your current GF is not "the one" either. You would not entertain leaving her if she was. You would know to stay. Good luck baw.


This ole boy speaks the truth.

Secondly - if she left the dude on Wednesday, you should wait. You could leave the current one and she could remember what all she liked better about that one and go back to him. You are left high and dry.

If you are playing in the big leagues, ie: looking for marriage material, you should wait until she has been single for a while before you go to her. Same applies to you. Breakup with the current and be single for a bit. If you both stay single for 6 months then let it happen.

I can tell you from experience though that you just might have exactly what you are looking for at home. You take it for granted because you have it already. It doesn’t matter how good it looks, it might not be worth the hassle of going after it. My “one” turned out to be bat shite freakin crazy. Like needs to be locked up...crazy. Didn’t see it until it was too late. Luckily I was able to recover before too much damage had been done.

I do agree that we need pics of both before an accurate judgement can be made though.

No need to knight for me, Rouge, but I sure appreciate it.

I can handle my own in my "endeavors"

Sounds like you and the people around you make a lot of dumb decisions rooted in fleeting emotions.

Real life doesn't work like a soap opera and this "love" isn't really love.

I bet her boyfriend of 3 years dumped her, and she sees you’re happy. Now she wants to wreck that for you.

She lied to you when she said she left her bf if 3yrs for you. I’d find him and get his side of the story.

Oh, and you’re a selfish douche if you break your current girl’s heart by dumping her for a girl from your past. She’s in your past for a reason. Keep her there. Block her on social media too. How would you like it if your current girl was having an emotional affair with a man from her past? What you’re doing is cheating.

She’s still bitter about you dumping her and I can guarantee you that she will return the favor in the future.

Move forward. Not backwards.

I have multiples.

I keep up with them.

Regrets? Some.

But, I wouldn't trade my life.

I got friendzoned by a girl when I was young. We learned everything about each other. We lost touch and she started seeing a guy for four or five years. We bumped into each other, and the girl I was with at the time made it happen. We dated off and on for 18 months or so after knowing each other for 10 years.

Neither of us were committed. We treated each other like shite. One night we were out and I met the woman I knew I was going to marry. A switched flipped, and it was over.

I saw her at her cousin's wedding. We spoke briefly. We were both already married, but there were sparks.

No doubt in my mind if our spouses weren't there bad things would have happened.

And it eould have been terrible.



TL:DR..... There will always be a woman who makes you question your very being. But there is a reason she's in the past.

There was a reason the two of you broke up and did not get back together. What was it? Has it been resolved?
Who is easier to talk to? Who listens well? ...maybe both? ...maybe neither?
Who is willing to make sacrifices for you, and which one are you willing to make sacrifices for? Which one is willing to cook for you? Which one can cook? Long-term relationships should place a high value on the ability to cook or the desire to learn how to cook.
Love must be a two way street. If it is mostly a one way street, then it will not last, regardless as to which one gives the most and receives the most. The giver will get tired of constantly having to give up significantly more. It is fun for the receiver for a while, but the giver will burn out.
Love is a decision. There is no room for selfishness in a relationship.
Where True love exists, difficult things are easy.
Where True love does not exists, Easy things are difficult.
Time dating should lead to the point where the giving becomes easy, and the sacrifices made do not appear to be large sacrifices, but a way of life while loving the other.
True love begins on your wedding day after you've both committed your lives to each other for better or worse.
Who are you willing to love for better or worse?
You may not know this answer now, but this should be your ultimate goal.
If this is not your goal, then neither girl may be "the one".

The first "one" that got away, I knew she was the "one" within a month; however, it was not mutual which means I was wrong. I never told her she was "the one". I'm glad I didn't. I think she knew I was "the one", but she had attachments in which she could not let go. If I was truly the one for her, I think she would have let go of the attachments.
The second one that was"the one" I knew within 2 weeks. I did not tell her. I do not recommend telling a girl she is the "one" when you realize it. Give her time to realize it. This one was mutual.

My wife of 6 years recently woke up one morning and decided that she wasn’t happy. To my surprise she found happiness in a man twice her age. This last month has been the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. I tried everything to win her back and nothing seemed to work. Women, frick them all.

There is always the one you can live with and can’t love. And, the other that you love and can’t live with. I think you have to experience both before you know what’s perfect...the one you want to live with and love more than yourself.

Basically the same thing happened to me a few years back. Left a girl that I loved and would have been very happy with, for the one that got away. We are still together today. Only you know if she really is the one or not.

The one that got away from me has cirrhosis in her 30s and has been arrested for crack. I don't how I'm going to make it.
