Yeah, this is going to be a long one, so, right to it; I'm 24 I've been in a serious relationship with this girl(22) for the last three years. She's a great person and is wholeheartedly in love with me. As time progressed I realized I didn't reciprocate those feelings, and broke up her. She was heartbroken, and even though I felt like a bastard for hurting her, I took solace with the fact that at least I ended it properly, face-to-face and did my best to make her understand it wasn't her fault, that I just felt we weren't meant to be.
Three months go by, I'm fine. She's fine. We even still talked occasionally on the phone, as friends. Then suddenly, after months of being perfectly content and dating around and not being in a dedicated relationship, I see her out with someone else. My inner jealous douchebag takes over and I decide I need to get her back.
After a week of calling, texting and damn near begging (pathetic, I know) we get back together and all is right with the world... until I remember why I broke up with her in the first place (that is to say, inherent incompatibility issues i.e. she tends to get on my nerves all the damn time).
Cut to a couple of weeks ago when some friends and I go out to a club to see a local band. I meet this girl, we start talking and hitting it off. She's 25, beautiful, Intelligent and extremely well-read (she's actually an 11th grade english teacher!) with a great sense of humor and taste in music and movies. Oh, and she loves football. It's like she was created in a lab to be awesome. We exchange numbers. We hang out a few days later at a friend's house and are up to 4:00am drinking and talking about music. Now I can't stop thinking about her, but I'm in a relationship with a girl who loves me to death, and whom I've already hurt once.
Basically, I'm a child who doesn't know what he wants.
Thoughts?
