I've recently broken up with another girlfriend, which is its essence doesn't bother me, because basically it wasn't working out, didnt feel right and we've decided to remain friends which is always good.

The thing that happens to be bugging me is that after we broke up she told me she loved me (actually "in love" not just the sort of 'love' you stick at the end of an email or text) and that she wants to have a baby with me.

Cue fear of fatherhood and the realisation I'm actually just a kid myself to kick in.

The thing that quite worries me is that I haven't known this girl a great deal of time at all. We met at a party, got drunk and did some stuff together and we started going out, but after a while (once I'd sobered up) I didnt feel the same and chose to end it to avoid and later heartache from prolonging the relationship. She took it badly. Really badly. With cries of "don't you find me attractive?" and "what have I done wrong" ringing through my head, I came back with the clichéd-to-death, "its not you, its me" which seemed to settle her down.

I've actually never been told by a girl that she "loved" me, nor have I ever said it to a girl. I'm quite pedantic with the word and beleive it should only be used when you mean it, and she assured me she does love me. This is rather daunting to think that someone who has known me a pretty short amount of time feels that way about me. What's even more frightening is that I don't feel the same way, at all.

I suppose I can finally empathise with those who stalk people and fall in love with them without really knowing them, and the other party is completely oblivious to this. I always though love would be something that came mutually from both parties, but I guess that isn't the case.

I'm not sure if I should feel bad about this, but I really do. I dislike hurting people, but I think I did the right thing to end it before she went skitzo and came off the pill and got pregnant to have the child she's oh-so-desperate to have.

Goes to show that you can be all mature and grown-up but still be a child yourself in some respects.

I'm still a child, I guess, but I like the security and lack of morning sickness it brings.

I really don't have any feeling for her, or many in any case, so that's not a problem.

I'm getting away though, sharpish.

I'm happy to go with that.

I think a lot of people think they are, or even want to beleive they are in love, but actually aren't.

It's like pressure of ones self, or something.

I doubt she is, no matter how loveable I am.

Christ, how insecure is this girl if she has to tell you she loves you, and wants babies with you, just to avoid the pain of being dumped!?? Want my advice? Well you're getting it anyway - get it out the way as quick as possible, and get any feelings you had for her out of your system.

I'd just like to say one thing. Just because this girl thinks she is in love with you doesn't necessarily mean she actually is. I can think of two instances where I had crushes on people and I would have sworn blind that I was in love with them, but now I look back it's obviously that I wasn't.

I'm not saying that is the case here, just pointing out the possibility.

And to the girl who said all girls want babies, I agree with Ineedsleep, thats totally untrue. I for one don't want babies. I admit that when I think of my future with my fiance, we are a family, but I don't want babies. (and yes I realise how contrary I am).
