Girl Trouble

[JacaRanda]

Three points: 1) your situation is an anomaly. Most people at 16 have the long term judgement of a butterfly in heat and your single experience is in no way indicative of the way the vast majority of people find their lives have run.
2) to be perfectly honest, you are 21 dude and, in the long run, you don't know crap about life. You may think you do but, from my perspective and experience, the chances are overwhelming that in 20 years your opinions will be a lot different. I can say that because I met 'the one' when I was 17, maried when we were 21, stayed married for 14 years and then found out that 'that oneness' rarely lasts.
3) Love? It is totally laughable that you think that love is the only and deciding factor for how relationships go. Let me repeat a subtle point I made before that you may have missed; you are 21 and you don't know crap about life yet.

1 - I never said I wasn't an anomaly. However, it is possible. 50 years ago, getting married before 20 was much more common than today. I know more than a few senior adults who are still happily married when they got married before 20.

2 - Don't give me that crap. I've heard that logic before. Following your train of thought, then no one should marry before they're 40 or older, which I find ridiculous.

3 - Did I say that it's the only factor? No. Lew, I understand that wisdom comes with age, and I respect that. But don't treat me like a dumb child.

Again, we wish you all the best. Check back in about 20 years and more than likely a bell will go off and you will say "Damn, Lew was pretty much right on target". If not, Anomaly applies.

There's no magic number, but age is still dramatically related to divorce rate.

Another fun graph showing the earlier ranges in more detail, which are more dramatic than the longer term graph is able to show. Also, the second graph is actually % likelihood, not just per capita amounts in a single timeslice:

So getting married at at just 25 instead of 18 for instance HALVES the likelihood of divorce in 10 years. No need to go as high as 40 to see huge results.

Derrel fell asleep as Jar-Jar Gavbenks explained his charts and graphs graps in excruciating detail, droning on and on and on and on....

I actually just turned 20

My dad never let me get my license when I was younger. I should be getting my license in the next week or so, and a car shortly after.

So here's my plan...

Get the license, get the car. Just be cool in the meantime. Then leave flowers on her doorstep and see what happens from there.

Dont get a car.

get a motorcycle....trust me. works EVERY time....

As seen through beer goggles, right?

Yeah, this is definitely the longest thread I've ever had. You guys care so much about me! :')

In the end, I just really like her. I haven't had a crush on a girl in about 3 years, so I really thought/hoped this would work out. Maybe it still can. Who knows.

I've never been too smooth with the ladies. Perhaps I'm destined to die alone. Woe is me!!

As Wyogirl stated, you're out. Have some self respect and move on with your life. Renember, she called it off, she has your number if she wants to retract it. If you continue to Perdue this girl, you're going to need to hand over your Man Card!

Sorry, I kind of meant that jokingly. Where's the humor font?

Well there you go. I'd bet that if you asked all the really, really good (rock) guitarists, one of their main motivations for practicing so much, was to get girls. And yes, it works.
But the catch is that if they had been able to get girls in the first place, they wouldn't have had time to practice so much.

Ok, but I'm keeping my eye on you.
