..And I realized I Did infact miss her.. Terribly..

..I miss having a girl I can smile and laugh with..
Kiss and Cry with...
Hold in my arms.... And know she loves me too....

I cried, twice already..
I miss that so badly..
I miss her, so badly... ..


I don't know why, but sometimes I get like this.. Usually whenever I talk to her.


But I mean.
I'm truely happy I'm out of that relationship.
She's into Drugs, Fighting, and alot of Dangerous junk.
Me?
I'm a Lover, Baby. Not A fighter. [ 'Less I have to.. D: ]


...But what am I to do?
I die inside everytime I hug her..
and I never wanna let her go..

She's coming into town next weekend, and wants to spend the night.
But she's Single, too.
Which means that she's most likely just going to try to use me for sex. sad
... God O_O sometimes I don't mind that. D:

But .. Now, I do, and like.. . crying I don't know what to tell her!!


D: Help. What do I tell her? Yes? No? Tell her how I feel? >.< help ;_;

I mean.. I KNOW I -HAVE- to tell her... But, I REALLY REALLY REALLY Need Suggestions as to how... sweatdrop

It sounds like your just lonely. Don`t fool yourself into thinking you miss her because you said you were happy to be out of that relationship. You miss having a relationship with someone. It`s natural. Just hold on, you will find the right one eventually. It just takes time.

As for her spending the night at your place..... did she tell you she wants to hook up with you? If she hasn`t made that clear than assume all she wants is a friendship which is probably the case. If she makes an advancement on you then you two need to talk it out. I would advise not doing it because you don`t want back into that relationship..... even if it is just casual sex, you don`t want to be used like that. So only bring it up if she makes a clear move as to wanting to have sex with you. Clear moves are things like kissing, hands places they shouldn`t be, etc. Otherwise why bring something like that up. It might make things awkward if she`s not interested in pursuing anything but friendship with you.

Well said, Nightingale. However, if it makes you feel uncomfortable, just don't let her stay over. It's as simple as that.

1) I have a boyfriend. Being Lonley isn't my problem.. Mreh.. Maybe. .I'm Lonley for a female.. D:


2) She has done it ALOT, The Using-Me-For-Sex thing.


.. Which is why I assume it's what she wants to do.

.. . . Basically, the only time we ever are really alright, is when she's lonley and trying to talk me into having sex with her.


But when I Refuse, she cries, sweet talks me, and I'm really weak under temptation D:


..But I.. I don't know how to tell her "no" ..
Since the last time I ever tried, she forced me to do what she wanted anyways..

...I Wanna cut ties, .. well .. Sort of? .. D: I know I HAVE to.. but... I don't know how to ?

I mean, what the hell do I say?

" I love you too much to keep talking to you I'm sorry, goodbye " ? ! D:

okay fine, you may not be lonely. The other option is that you loved this girl and still have some sort of feelings for her. Just because you have feelings for her doesn`t mean you should do something rash. A lot of people still have feelings for their ex after a break up. Those feelings will go away in time though.

Of course we`re still jumping to the conclusion that she wants to have sex with you. This may not be the case. Even if she has done so in the past people can change. She may not have that intention. You need to treat her as a friend and prepare for the time during the weekend when she may hit on you. If she does start to hit on you then you need to talk to her. Tell her you don`t appreciate it and say that you can`t really be friends anymore and need to cut off contact because you don`t feel comfortable with her hitting on you because you have a boyfriend. Prepare a speech in advance if you don`t feel confident in your improv skills and think of all the arguments against it she could make. It`s kind of like preparing for a debate.

To cut her off stop talking to her, stop hanging around her, etc. It`s fairly simple. If she doesn`t hit on you and you don`t break the friendship off then there is always the option of slowly cutting her out of your life. She doesn`t live near you so I assume you talk a lot on the internet and the phone. Avoid her phone calls or talk for a short amount of time and then leave. Don`t call her. Block her from msn and don`t answer e-mails or e-mail her. That`s how you cut someone out.

If you like your new boyfriend and don`t want to screw things up with him and date this girl then the remedy is simple...... DON`T HAVE SEX WITH HER!!! Period. Cheating is a conscious act and if you do have sex with her then you CHOOSE to cheat on your boyfriend. I don`t care what she says or what she does it`s still a choice you make. You need to grow a backbone and stand up for yourself. Don`t give me crap about temptation..... that`s no excuse. She can cry until your living room is flooded, she can coat her voice in sugar but that`s NO EXCUSE for giving in to sex and cheating. You need to make the choice now whether to have sex with her or not and you need to stick to that. If you decide to have sex with her don`t drag your boyfriends feelings into it. Tell him that you have feelings for your ex and intend to get back together with her. But if you are truly happy in this relationship and don`t want to go back to the old one then just don`t cheat.

To help create an atmosphere where she won`t feel compelled to have sex with you make sure you sleep in seperate rooms(even if it means she sleeps on the couch). Make sure you are doing things that will not encourage sex. Don`t watch a movie in the dark for example. If you do watch a movie sit on a different couch or chair.

Always be conscious of your actions and that they don`t insinuate anything.

And next time don`t invite your ex to stay overnight.

Thank you for your advice.

I just want to mention;

I didn't Invite her to spend the night. She Asked. :/


And My boyfriend and I have a Mutual Agreement Concerning Sexual Acts with People of the same Gender. :/

I'd have to agree with nightingale.

I had sort of this problem with a friend and another friend of mine told me something interesting. It reminds me of this situation.

I don't think you're in love with her still. I think you're in love with the idea of her.

Sometimes this happens. Heck, even I've done it. Ideas are powerful things; however, ideas don't feel. Ideas don't care, and they certainly don't love.

The healthy thing to do might be to cut it off. It would suck to lose a good friend, however. The thing is, she doesn't sound liek a good friend if she's just using you for sex.

So you have to gage for yourself if she's your friend or just a user, and if she's just a user then yes, you would consider cutting it off.

And yes, telling her you love her enough to have to let her go is a good approach.

Keep in mind, she threw tantrums to get her way so she's going to get upset if you do try to cut it off with her. Like nightingale said, grow a backbone and stand up to it. Don't buckle under the pressure of her tears. You're doing it for her as well as yourself. Remember that.

Alright, I don't think I have time before I go to bed to go into loads of detail but I'll give ye a go...
I think you should discuss with her how you feel, ask her if she likes you emotionally, and ask her if she's using you for sex, if she is/has been you must tell her, sure, do it in a calm way, but you have to tell her this isn't what you're about and that you think she's really sweet and everything, and that you were wondering, does she see this in you...

I'm a little late in this and hope everything went well but I'll pretend that it hasn't happened yet just to get my opinion into it. razz

First of all, I agree with you getting a backbone but there seems to be a lack of sympathy in it, considering it's not something you grow over night. You just need to let her know where your boundaries are whether her intentions are bad or good. It doesn't matter that she "might have" changed, she just needs to know that your boundaries have changed so she knows that you aren't for that s**t. I'm sure you would know by this time what her intentions were/are so I hope she didn't manipulate you into anything..

I hope it all went okay! If you do end up seeing her again or she does end up staying the night at your place then bring your boyfriend with you. Let her know that he was planning on staying that night before she was invited (so she doesn't think that you're doing it to protect yourself and that you would still be vulnerable if you two were alone) and that you would all have to share the house together.

First and for most i want to let you all know that relationships whether current or past are tricky things to deal with...i currently am going through a similar situation as Little Labled Princess. You have to be firm in all your decisions. If you have a commitment so someone..no matter sexuality...you have to keep that commitment, unless its not what you know is right.

Secondly, I am gay. My ex is a man. I came to the conclusion that i had no choice but to break it off with him, not because i didnt love him, but because there was just thing that needed to change. It was the hardest thing for me to do. One of the things I broke it off for was that he made me feel like he was using me. One should never be in a state that makes them feel like their being used, whether it be money, sex, etc.

Finally, AgentPingo, this is directed to you. If you look at the statistics in comparison of gay/lesbian relationships to hetrosexual relationships, those ten points agianst gay marriage end up meaning jack. The universal truth is gays dont make other people gay. If someone is of the homosexual persuasion, its because thats they way their born, not becuase someone made them to be one later in life. I was born gay. Im proud of that. And for anyone, especially christians, to discriminate agianst me because of my sexuality is completely illogical and even ungodly. Please dont for the sake of your fellow beings discriminate agianst someone because of what they are. Think of it this way, how would you like it if someone told you, you were not the same social status as them because you are a kid or a teenager. It would make you feel like crap because you are being discriminated against because of your age. Like wise those comments are a blatant discrimination against anyone who is homosexual because of who they are attracted to. God commands to love thy neighbor as thy self. Please be courteous!

Scratch that last part...after rereading it..I over looked the sarcastic meanings behind it..haha..sorry!!!

Don't let her use you. Just tell her no and don't think about it. Say it's not right since you two aren't together anymore, and it isn't.

And what they said... you just miss being in a relationship.
