Op_Dagger Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 Ok, here's my story: I'm a 17 year old guy, she's a 19 year old girl(well, I said 'she' so I guess you already knew that xP). We've known each other sort of ever since I was in the 5th grade(I forget what age that is, my memory doesn't really go back that far ^^). Three months ago, I finally told her I liked her, and asked if she would like to go on a date. She accepted, and a little later I asked her to be my steady girlfriend(I guess that would be the correct terminology xD), which she also accepted. We went out for about three months, up until today. Apparently, she had a long talk with her mom last night, and her mom suggested some changes in her life, because she thought that she was too stressed out. One of those changes was(you guessed it!) to break up with yours truly. And so that's what she did. But, she assured me there was noone else and that it wasn't my fault she was breaking up with me, and that she wasn't going to date anyone else, she was just taking a break from dating altogether. She said that she still really liked me, and that when she was ready to date again she wanted to date me. I asked her exactly where we stood(figured it would be prudent to figure out exactly where I was), and she said that she wanted to be "friends who like each other" and that she wanted to date me again once she was ready to date again. Also, she still wants to hang out sometimes, and she said she's ok with me calling her at times, just not everyday. We were planning on getting a class together this next semester in college, and she also still wants to do that. Obviously, this kinda sucks, but I really care about her, and told her that I would wait for her. After thinking about this all tonight, I've become more and more confused(as so often happens when you overthink things ><), and now I'd like to get a nice third-party opinion on my whole situation here. I'd also mention that her mom(and her, too xP) thinks I'm a really great guy for her. Some of the possibilities I've considered are: 1. She is really too stressed out and just needs a break from dating, and just needs me to be a good friend who's there for her with no immediate commitments to do anything, but when she's ready to date she still wants to just see me. 2. She would really like to still date but she is trying to keep the peace with her family by going on this whole 'break from dating' thing. 3. She really is just trying to very slowly get me out of her life(I certainly hope this one isn't true, I'd rather just be dumped in a normal direct fashion if something like this is the case xD)
