*leaves thread* It's rediculous that I have to go through such ridicule for telling my opinion.

I knew I'd have to tell you girls eventually, and I think this thread is the one that needs it. About two months ago, I really found out that I am in [u]absolutely no condition[/u] to get involved with any guy. To make the long story short, I got involved with a guy that I knew very, very well and that I liked very, very much. The entire thing lasted for about a month. Then, he broke my heart when he gave up on me (I never dated him) and got a new girlfriend. I got endless apologies, but nothing helped. They broke up, he came back to me. I took him right back, but about three days later, it happened again. New girlfriend. More apologies. I cried over and over again, and I never felt like I was getting better. Now he's dating my best friend. She has no idea how hard it is for me to put a smile on my face and pretend that I'm okay with it, because I am absolutely NOT okay. I am considered a VERY mature 14 year old, however, it was too much for even me. I'm sorry, but 14 year olds just [i]are not[/i] mature enough. End of story. And then there is another factor in the "dating at age 12-15" thing. Dating is what you do to get to know someone so that you can possibly marry them. At that age, about 99.9% of people have marriage as the last thing on their minds. So, what's the point? You [i]know[/i] it won't work out. You [i]know[/i] you are only going to get your heart broken. There's no point to it. It's just a waste of time, drama, and emotions. You should not be in a relationship if you can't trust the person you're with. You should be able to tell this person everything. This person should be able to help you through anything. This person should show the same love and affection that you show them. There's One more thing I'd like to add. I don't think it has come up in this thread, but it has come up in others. That funny feeling that you get when you're around a guy is not love. It's lust. A better explanation would be: Your little pre-teen hormones are going insane and they make it hard for you to control yourself, therefore, you believe you are falling in love with every male human being you see. I've said all I needed to say. I think I should get the "Longest post" award. Sorry it's so long.

Thanks. Abby, don't cry! *glomp*

Aw, Abby! It's not [i]that[/i] sad of a story. I've heard way worse.
