Do you really need ot ask this question?

 

She knows you're going to be shipped off, so she doesn't want to get attached to you. Obviously, she likes you, so she's cutting you off NOW before she gets involved.

yes but i wont be leaving for boot camp for another 8mo's their kinda full and even if i get shipped off i'd still have time to come home, why cant she just tell me whats up like everything was going fine and soon as i told her she's ignoring me, even if i get shipped the contract is for 4yrs and i'll be back for good

Dude, she wants a boyfriend.

Not a guy she will see once a yr if that.

 

She's doing you both a favor by not getting involved.

 

And lets be honest, you chase after her, get her, then tell her your shipping out in 8 mos.?

 

Who does that? A dude looking for some action before he goes to boot camp.

I don't mean to be blunt but you sure about that? have you actually considered you may not come home at all? I think asking her to take that on is asking allot.

 

Sure you may care for this girl but your timing sucks she just doesn't want to get involved with a guy who could end up dead sooner then later.

 

Go do your time and let her go for now after you get out (god willing) if shes still single then you can maybe take it from there best of luck to you d_nuke.

Then why would you make a decision to take yourself away from her?

 

You are planing to disappear from her life in 8 mos.

She is doing it now at what? a week & look how you feel?

 

Imagine how she will feel when you ship out?

 

like I said, she's doing you both a favor.

ok it makes sense but what cant she tell me that, instead she's just ignoring me its like a slap in the face, i mean she was all over me and then a second later she's ignoring me

Because she doesn't really owe you an explanation. You two met and then you suddenly you admitted you are joining the marines.

 

Thats tantamount to saying "I think we should see other people" because it is. You won't be in her life.

 

What do you expect her to say?

 

"oh ok, so we can have an 8 month relationship and then we wont have anything for 4 years but then can just pick it up when you get back, sounds good to me"

 

Leaving on a 4 year marine stint is different than doing tours to wars, in which you go for a year and come back to spend at least a few months of time. And relationships that get through that occur with women who can understand a man going off to fight, and usually are already married and raise families with these men..

 

This girl obviously doesn't want anything to do with anyone going to shoot guns and fight wars but she isn't looking to lecture you about her personal opinions. Hence the simple cold shoulder approach. This was entirely your choice, so you shouldn't expect too much discussion from her about it.
