<p>I'm still trying to completely get over my ex-boyfriend who broke up with me last June. We are still trying to be good friends, which is probably what is making it take so long.</p>
<p>You are probably just in love with being in love and that's the main thing you are going to miss. There are going to be other guys that you will click with. It just always seems like they are taking too long to find you.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice, everyone!</p>
<p>I haven't been throwing myself at other guys, because I know I'm not desperate and so insecure that I can't be alone. JBVirtuoso, I'm not going to completely stop dating, but I think I would like to be single until college. I've been told that it's good to go into college single, anyway. IBProcrastinator, listening to happy music really DOES help. Destiny's Child is pretty good to listen to once in a while to cheer myself up.</p>
<p>It's actually kind of nice to be single...I haven't been single in so long, I've kind of forgotten what it's been like. :P I've been feeling a lot better lately, but it's only that occasional moment that I feel a little regretful. Yesterday I made all my friends cookies to celebrate the end of the first semester, and I even gave my ex one. I think he appreciated it. It's been easier to talk with him now.</p>
<p>I've been told that it's good to go into college single, anyway.</p>
<p>An excellent idea. When you get there, relax, and let it happen.</p>
<p>I'm sorry about your break up, runforfun. My first major break up was in June at the end of my sophomore year. I had dated a junior for 8 months, and then he broke up with me. But in the end, I saw that it was for the best. I think you will discover that in the future, too. :) Good luck!</p>
<p>This is why I dont mess around with that homotional stuff.</p>
<p>My bf and I broke up due to long distance :( I'm a high school senior and he's attending college 200 miles away, so it was circumstantial. I think it makes it harder, cause I have no reason to take vengeance on him.</p>

<p>She (or he, possibly) means... Because he didn't actually do anything bad (cheating, abuse, etc.), there is no reason to be mad at him. And sometimes, when you are breaking up, it's a hell of a lot easier to be mad at someone than to be heartbroken.</p>
<p>I know the feeling. My boyfriend broke up with me for a myriad of reasons, but the main one being that he was going to college about 2-3 hours away. We said we could try to bridge that gap, but I guess when it got closer to his leaving, he decided that being single in college was probably for the best and that we could try to get back together later. It sucked because there was nothing I could do but I also couldn't really be mad at him for his decision...</p>
<p>But then more of his reasons came out and I found out that he really had been semi-cheating on me with his ex-girlfriend (snuggling, kissing on cheek, acting lovey-dovey). After I found this out, it was actually a little easier because I had someone to be mad at. Unfortunately, it hasn't been easy enough that I can get over him completely, but I'm no longer dreaming of us being together again, which is a good thing.</p>
<p>Good for you, runforfun! It's good that you are beginning to move on. (Boys are such jerks.)</p>
<p>I think what has me down at the moment is that I feel like I've lost my faith in relationships, or in guys, really. I felt this way my soph year when I was dumped, and I met my current ex-bf and slowly I gained that trust back...but now it's gone again. I know high school relationships are pointless and are just "practice", but I invest a lot into them. My bad.</p>
<p>Now everytime I see a couple in the hallways at school, I feel like yelling that it's stupid and pointless that they're together, they're just going to break up anyway. One guy told me, after I rudely said something of that nature about him and his new gf, that there was nothing wrong with "just living in the moment". Such a guy thing to say, really...</p>
<p>I'm trying to find a new love interest, not necessarily one I know in person...like a celebrity? Can't seem to find a good one, though. :) Haha.</p>

Well, just because you're bitter about failed romances doesn't mean you can take it out on other people who might have a chance. </p>
<p>Alex</p>
<p>ya that is the best way to go fo sho</p>
<p>Alexx, what you said is really what my ex bf would say...AND you share his name. Hmm....</p>
<p>I really doubt anybody "has a chance" in high school, especially since most students shall be going off to different colleges/places after graduation. Anyway, I admitted that what I said was rude, and now I am keeping those remarks to myself. However, I still feel that high school relationships are pointless (unless you count them as "practice"). Yeah, I am bitter and cynical about relationships, but those feelings will pass eventually.</p>
<p>Yeah, it's tough, especially for girls. My boyfriend and I just broke up 6 days ago. We've been dating for 8 months. Though, we are still friends, and we still talk to eachother everyday, if we have time. I find it easier for him because he's a senior; he's done everything, so he can relax. Also, when we were in a relationship, he was always the one who feel the need to be responsible and to support me. So he's pretty happy to be single again lol. But I had a hard time, especially when we talk, I force myself not to say anything that cross the line between friendship and relationship. I'm gradually accepting it now. I just try not to think too much about it.</p>
