Hey everyone
First of all, apologies for bad grammar in this, it's late and im tired, but I thought I'd post anyway. And sorry if this isnt in the appropriate forum, I didnt want it to get bogged down by 'half-witted spam' type replies that seem to engulf some other forums.
Alot of you wont know me. Way back in the days of 2001-2003? ish?? I used to roam these forums regularly, making some friends along the way, some who i still think about but cant get hold of, but it doesnt matter, things change. Just thought I'd introduce myself to you newish folk. Im Time_Warp / Såm.
Anyway, I'm 16 (almost 17), doing ALevels at college and Ive just broken up with my girlfriend of 20 months. This may not sound too significant but she is my first love and it WAS my first serious relationship. The details aren't important, and even though I've been thinking about this for a while now, so that im quite used to the idea, it has (naturally) hit me hard.
I am a very independent, outgoing, and confident person. I'm a popular guy (and modest :S) and im bright enough to get into Uni and have my sights set on the future.
But I just want to know what the best step to take is after coming out of a serious relationship. There isnt much for me to think about since I already do way too much of that, and Im aware of what i feel etc. One of my friends just came out of a similar relationship a month ago and has already got with about 20 girls. As a confident, reasonably good looking young man I could probably do this, but it isnt something I'd want to do.
Im smart enough to know I have my whole life ahead of me and there will be many others on the journey, but Im just curious at how I'll react to this new situation (i think I'll find it too easy to handle, which makes me think im not handling it properly...), and how others react when losing a partner/close friend. I want your stories people!
Dont get me wrong, I am upset, but this inevitable ending and the fact that my girlfriend didnt do much to try and fight for the situation has left me quite relaxed about the break up. However, it is going to be hard to getting on with things normally when this person who i spend a lot of my time with wont be there now, especially when I will see her at college every day and be reminded of everything.
Ok thats my story. I just wanted to know what others do/have done in this situation and how it has affected them.
I also want to apologise for wasting a minute or two or your life :)
Since I may forget to post for a couple of days again... Hi to Sheepy, Grix, Your Honour, Rasta and the other lads from the old days, hope all is well! If anyone wants a chat ask for my email, its the same as it was anyway.
Oh, and Our Lady Peace rock.
Well thanks for listening...

Go out and have several grudgef&%£s, get her out of your system.
I split up with somebody I thought was "the one" 2 weeks ago and instead of moping about I ran through my old black e-book and exacted sweet naked revenge against all women-kind over the weekend.
Failing that, buy this and be maudlin [URL]http://www.teemarto.com/mod/tee01/images/1/large/4227.gif[/URL]

I remember you. I got your brother banned.
Apologies on not having anything to say, but I just thought I'd say I remember you... we used to play through Golden Sun every day. :)

I don't think I ever had a serious relationship. And it's strange because I don't really want to be in a relationship at the moment. Scary..
Anyhoo. Just wondered off into deep thought like a true movie moment, staring up to the stars with fingers on chin. Woo! But what the Hell? Only young.
I say: Go out. Try to have fun. Or if you're the indoor type, just stay in, listen to music, watch a movie, write, draw. Play. Clear your head/or think some more, then go out or something.
My way of dealing with that kinda stuff is to lie somewhere for an hour or 4, preferably on some grass, singing, laughing at absolutely nothing [but you'll have the fits not long after when you laugh at your stupidity] and trying to make shapes out of the clouds, but the last couple of days has had nothing but scary faces in them. So no..
It doesn't last long at all, but it's a distraction.
If not, I'd highly recommend getting drunk. Have some fun with your friends.

My first serious relationship ended after 16 months when I was 17. It totally sucked. I missed him and everything reminded me of him and although I knew he had a new girlfriend, that didn't mean I wanted to see them together.
After about a month or 2 and after countless nights crying myself to sleep it gradually became easier. I began to do things I couldn't do when I was with my ex (which was pretty much anything which meant I had to leave my house and actually talk to other people). Of course it made it easier in the fact that I never had to see him, unlike the situation with you and your now ex. At the time all I wanted to do was talk to him, but he refused which now I am thankful for.
Eventually I had to see him, at my sisters wedding, which was great. I'll never forget the look on his face when I stepped out of the wedding car (hee hee). After that day I was kinda sad and wished I hadn't seen him (having a drunken kiss with him didn't help either).
Anyways, that was all about, 2 years ago. I still speak to him and he still invites me to his flat which he shares with his gilfriend (are you understanding what sort of a guy this man is?). He likes to tell me he still loves me, which makes me laugh right in his face. He also likes to tell me that he knows I still love him, which I agree with just to shut his aragont (sp?) trap.
Anyhoo, (kinda rambling now, I can't sleep so you gotta put up with it) After all that it made me a stronger person and made me be more independant. It wasn't until a year after I broke up with him, that I was ready for another relationship. And let me tell you, breaking up doesn't get easier the second time round.
Soooo, basically what I'm saying is, it might seem a little hard right now but it's ok because thats's what life is about. Take the rough with the smooth. I'm glad I've had those experience and been heartbroken and i'll tell you why...
If I was to ever break up with my current boyfriend, I know that I would be able to handle it easier since i have experience so to speak.
One of my friends has been with her boyfriend almost 2 years and, personally I can't see it lasting any longer, but she is just holding on to him because she's scared to be alone. This is her first proper bpyfriend, and while a few of her friends are settling down, she is too scared to let go and be all heartbroken while her friends are happy-see?
So my advice? Just go out and have fun, make new friends, more friends. When you look back at this time in a few years I think you will be glad of it.

Ok hi, i think i've seen your name mentioned somewhere around here.
Really it seems like you've made up your mind that you dont want to play around for a while so you'll just have to wait for someone new to come along.
I'm not completely certain who broke it off although i'm thinking it was you, if thats the case you'll likely start doubting whether it was the right thing to do if you dont find someone else.
I sort of avoided the running into my ex when she dissappeared off the face of the planet(aka went to Norwich) so i dont know anything about seeing her with someone else, depending on how much you still care about her it will either kill you or you'll realise you did the right thing. I've got a theory that although people break up for stupid reasons it's usually the right thing because you're looking for a way out at that stage.
