Hey, problem


Question Posted Thursday July 7 2005, 11:59 am

Hey Mackenzie.

I'm having some trouble and I thought you'd be able to help. I dumped my boyfriend of 10 months the other day. We'd been having a lot of problems since we hit 6 months, so I finally broke it off. I had a lot of help with making my desision. Well, I had been thinking about it for quite some time now, but I didn't know if it was the right choice. While I was at a little Fourth of July party I met this guy I had seen around school and he went through my pictures and found a picture that said I love brendan. He got real sad and said, oh he's your boyfriend? I told him the whole story about how he hasn't called me in a week and has been ignoring me. So it became this big discussion and everything seem to lead to breaking up with him, because there seems to be better out there. The guy that I met at the party, Austin, texted me later that night and told me if I wanted to hang out feel free to ask. So yesterday we hung out and we had a ton of fun. He keeps telling me I'm different from most girls and he likes me. I like him a lot too, but I'm really confused. Did I make the right choice of leaving my boyfriend? Austin told me the other day that he wanted to end up dating and he said he'd wait a while to ask me out. I know i want to date him, but I don't know when would be too soon for him to ask me out. I'm over my old boyfriend because he treated me horribly, but I'm really conufused. PLease help

Well it's nice that you had people there to help you decide what to do, but I hope you didn't let THEM have the OVERALL SAY, ya know?? Ultimately, it's NO ONE'S choice but YOUR OWN!! It's YOUR relationship, YOUR life, and YOUR heart to break, if such an unfortunate thing should happen.

And you said you think it might be "Too soon" for Austin to ask you out???? There isn't a SET time period, Hun. If you like this guy, go for it! Some people live their ENTIRE lives never finding love or happiness, so I believe that if you feel it *could* be there.. why would you ever want to deny such a thing???

And as far as your ex boyfriend goes, I think if you are already taking a liking to another guy, you definitely made the right choice in ending that relationship. It's natural for you to question it, as it was just such a comfortable thing to you in the past, it just seems easy to run back to. But it's well known that the quickest, easiest and probably best [in MY opinion] way to get over someone is to find someone NEW!! Think of it THIS way: Austin, or WHOMEVER you decide to date.. you will be comfortable with them EVENTUALLY. It has to start out SOMEWHERE, ya know?? It started out with your ex SOMEWHERE, and look how comfortable you became there, you see?? However it is MY opinion that you should keep your head up, and continue trucking forward. You're doing a good job...

Know that you can *always, *always, *always come back to me if you ever feel the need. I'm always here for you!! :D
