Isabella82 Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 People have been telling me that most likely my ex broke up with me because he wasn't ready for a real relationship. That he thought he was and then realized that it isn't what he wanted. That obviously he couldn't be in a serious relationship because of all his lies. However I always hear guys saying that all it takes for a guy to settle down is the right girl. Do you think this is true, that any guy at any age would settle down if they found the right girl?

If you've been dating a guy and then he says "I don't want to be in a serious relationship" - it really means : "I don't want to be in a serious relationship with YOU".
Weird Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 a guy will settle down when he grows up. Doesnt matter if he has found the right girl or not. He could be single for ages and want to settle down in that time and just is hoping he finds a girl who he can settle down with.
7on Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 I'm 19 and I want to settle down. I grow up fast. In HS even I remember having dreams where I'd have a wife and kids and then wake up, seeing it was only a dream, and cry. It sucks esp. when most of the girls want one night stands my age. Probably why my Dad married my mom when he was 21 and she was 27.
Author Isabella82 Posted January 26, 2005 Author Posted January 26, 2005 Thanks for the comments. I agree that guys will settle down when they grow up. It does matter how old they are. I think that if I met my ex a few years down the road we could have lived happily ever after, but I guess thats not the way it is supposed to be. Even though I am young, I want to settle down. Every one says to not rush it, but being with one person that I love and sharing my life with would be a dream come true. It also seems that at my age guys only want one night stands, and I refuse to be that way.
quankanne Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 I agree with weird: men marry their mates because the time is right. Much like they don't want to have babies until they have the "right" conditions -- money, home, toys paid for, etc. women, on the other hand, marry because it's the right person. At least I did -- and I was older when I tied the knot, so there was an element of the ticking clock! in the case of your ex? i'd say it was a matter of him not being ready, period. Whether it was you or another girl he was with.
jellybean Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Isabella... Sorry I misread your original post - it seems you are talking about very young people, I missed that part.

When we discuss things about "exes" we need to remember that we're ALL "not the right girl" doesn't make us less, or unworthy, just the wrong match.

Thanks I guess if you think about it like that, it seems less harsh.
