i'm an imature 26, my x-love is 18 and just went off to school. a month before she left i said maybe we should cool it down, while your in school. we'lll figure it out if it's meant to be. she cried, and i felt really bad.. when she actuly left we decided to have an open relation ship, she said she wanted to make it work, i said open... then a week after she got there she broke up with me, she said it wasn't the same anymore, that out love wasn't exciting, then she said "i love you" before she got off the phone. it didn't make any sense, and i'm sure i bugged the hell out of her with text and phone calls i wouldn't end.... but i was going crazy... when she came back into town we hung out for a little while.. she said "you made me really happy and it scared me" that she "doesn't want to love anyone" i kissed her and asked her what she felt " i feel scared" i asked her what she thinks when she looks in my eyes "i lnow i love you" and we never really decided what we were going to do now (like we said we would when she came back) then i talk to her on the phone while she's with her friends and she starts screaming at me about it being over, but i can come see her before she leaves the diner she was at... i ask her why she's saying it's over now.. all i ever ask for is a reason she doesn't like me or like us... maybe it's crazy but i need to know... she never has an answer, "just because i don't want us to fit" ok this is to long... now she says i scared her with all my text.. eh... she won't say anything to me.. which makes me try to say the right things in a text or an email... trying to make her see that we shouldn't cut us off totaly... we should date or whatever you want to call it.. it's all i ever wanted since the day she left for school.. just a chance... just to be an option.. i love and just plain old like her som much.. i really want to see if there's another girl out there that tops her in my eyes.. so i'm all for dating, but she thinks she'll hold me back... i guess what i'm asking is.. how can this girl prety much say i love you so i can't even date you or see you... i know college is a strange time in life, well i guess to know.... but isn't love just love, i'm just so mad at myself.. so mad at her... we miss eachother, love scares her, and now all my love has made her scared of me... i didn't call before, just text... or email.. now i nothing, and she's just going to run away... i know this she's said it: "i usully run away from my problems, but i love you so much" that was the day she left for school, in bed.... should i really sit her and do nothing?
Additional info, added Tuesday November 22 2005, 7:06 pm: it wasn't about me dating other people... it's something we decided to do since it would be very hard to stay with somebody while she was in school.. she knows she's "good enough" for me trust me....

I know, that isn't what you meant, but that's how a female mind works. He wants to date others= Hes done with me, I am lacking somewhere.
Once people do that, they usually don't get back together. So, you will have to date others and hope she is still available when you decide you are done. OR, just stick it out with her.
I think if the desire to date others is there, then that's what you should do. She may not wait around for you though.
Girls don't usually go for the dating others thing. Most tend to be more into having just one guy. If she finds another, she will not be back. That's just the facts, though not what you want to hear I am sure.
