I have a problem, as do most other people who posts on this website. My problem has been going on for many years. I used to post really long and descriptive post of my situation but I'm running short on time at the moment so I'll have to make it quick. Basically I live in Maine, United States, and there's a girl who live in New Hampshire (next state over for those of you who don't know the US). I met her years ago (by the way I'm 16 and she's 15).

We dated for about 3 months shortly after we met. Our relationship started by stabbing a really good friend to both of us in the back so it had become normal for us to do "bad" things to stay together. Anyway after about 3 months we realized that it was really hard for us to see eachother more than twice a month because of my parents not being able to give me a ride. One day during summer break I was at my Mom's (parents are divorced) and was waiting for my gf to show up. My Mom suddenly changed her mind and said that she couldn't come over because she was feeling tired and wanted to go to sleep. I was furious because that was the first time I would have seen her in over a month. So long story short I met her at the end of the road and we attempted to run away.

To make an even longer story short; I wasn't allowed to see her for months and even after that I had to see her in secret. Oh and by the way during all that time she lived in Maine. Then a while later she moved to New Hampshire, which is when we stopped talking somewhat.

I really loved this girl and she loved me. I didn't mention it but we were even engaged at one point and I had no doubt in my mind that I was going to marry that girl when we were older. Another thing I should point out is that she's the only girl that I have ever dated for more than a week (so it's really the only serious relationship that I've ever been in).

Now she's in New Hampshire and she has a boyfriend. I'm not sure if she still feels anything for me but last I knew (right before she started dating her new bf) she did. So now I'm trying to decide weather I should regret still being madly in love with this girl or if I should embrace it and try to get my relationship with her back.

I would just like to hear everyone's input on what they think I should do from a realistic standpoint and what they think I should do based on your belief in love and if it should be pursed even though the odds are against you.

Thankss and if anyone needs any more details then I've given feel free to ask, I'm just running short on time so I can't go too in-depth.

petina1 agony auntBeing realistic, she now has a new boyfriend, so i would say she has no intentions of putting everything on the line for you at any cost. The way that the relationship has been moving along probably made her feel that it will never work or it's not the way she would like to pursue it. It sounds like the adults in her life have talked some sense in to her. Doing things the wrong way always has its consequences anyway. People change and want different things. I should just keep her as a memory now. You will see it will be a lot easier to find a girl closer to home.

'Kay then SFL. I reckon, You should go down to your local game store and pick up COD BLACK OPS Your 16. Play GAMES see loads of different women MAKE Some money, and just keep letting that girl know you are here, that way she will find it hard to forget about you, it;s easy for her to move on when she cant see you or be with you. But as soon you are together, it's like she all i love with you again. SWEET! try and look on the brighter side of life.
