  1. Your situation is somewhat similar to mine in that this girl is perfect for me in every way, yet I still couldn't easily tell her I loved her. This gnawed at me for months and several arguments brought us closer to calling it off, but she was so attached and in love with me. I finally took time off (for 6 months)... then she found someone else! Think seriously about how you'll feel if you no longer have her affection, and whether she really is the one you want afterall. My only advice is not to do anything hastily unless you're sure your not in love with her and want to commit to her. Of course, you're young and I'm older - it's much harder for me I think because I'm worried I'll never meet a young (28), wonderful girl like her again. I thought I was doing the right thing in breaking up, but I'm now so full of anxiety and sadness that I really wonder...
  2. I met a very pretty girl at a party two years ago and we seemed perfect for each other. We have so much in common - our state of origin, good families, easy rapor and senses of humor... I'd had a thriving single life which I dropped knowing I'd be dating her, and we were together for about 14 mos. My friends & family thought she was great! Despite the fact that we both felt like "home" to one another, I steadily began pulling back from the relationship as she became closer. She said "I Love you" and I had trouble saying it back. I began thinking of other women and even avoiding sex sometimes - focusing on her minor physical flaws - yet I still felt as though she was the one I'd end up with. Finally, I decided to step away and we stopped seeing each other for 6 mos. We communicated by email, talked by phone every week or so, and I started seeing a therapist to figure out what my problem was. Still, after 6 mos. I didn't miss her much (she was still there and plainly in love with me - a safety blanket) and began to think I might not go back to her. Then she got over me, and started dating someone else. I'm completely devastated! I freaked out and proposed to her, but she thought about it and decided not to accept (doesn't love me "that way" anymore). I'm so full of anxiety about my future: I'm 42 (she's 28), though I look about 34 & am attractive, I have a good job, a good family... I'm a good catch! But losing her made me face the bleak realities of the LA dating scene and insecurities about my age and ability to find someone like her and I feel as though I made the biggest mistake of my life in such a casual way! How could I have acted so impulsively? Has anyone had a similar experience? I get no sleep, I'm anxious all the time, I'm barely functioning because I feel that I lost the one girl I should be with. And for what?????
