I hate guys...seriously.

Sweetie, it's not ALL guys, I promise. And some of them eventually grow out of this bad behavior as well, just put this one behind ya, okay?

Alyssa, just think of this as a learning experience. You will learn to see these signs with guys in the future. Beware: Some guys can be very sneaky jerks.

It is depressing right now, but you will move on. And a doggie would be a nice distraction.

I can understand your frustration - Believe me, you're better off than him... you will find someone SO amazing that you won't believe it, and you'll realize you're lucky and you can't remember how it ever worked out and you feel lucky and blessed.

You will eventually learn to trust your female gut and steer clear of the jerks. Just be glad you didn't waste MORE time on the useless piece and that Karma will take care of him. No looking back and regrets..just keep on keeping on!

Yep we can bring the suck. I know I did when I was a teen and into my 20s.

Most of us grow out of that type of selfishness, at least us fugly ones do.

You're too young to be in a serious relationship - and so is he if he doesn't even have his license. I hardly think he knows what love is at his age. Remember - most guys will tell a girl most anything they want to hear, and there's usually a motive behind it.

Enjoy yourself- play the field and have fun - don't tie yourself down to just one guy. You've got your whole life ahead of you, so experience being free now. You have the opportunity to meet so many nice guys, not jerks, and in no time you'll recognize the difference between the two. You can't possibly do that if you're in a relationship with just one.

Have you tried dating with a group of kids that are just friends and no serious one on ones? You'd probably find that it's a lot more fun for now. My granddaughter is a senior in h.s. - has not one boyfriend - but a lot of boys (and girls) that she is friends with. They all go out together and have a great time without getting serious. They are enjoying time with each other and have the opportunity to get to know different types of personalities, and form opinions of what they would look for in a long term one on one relationship. I know not many kids are willing to do that, but it works for all of them. Maybe it would work for you.

So remember (and not meaning to sound corny here), but you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your Prince.

Good luck - and play it cool...............


ETA:

BTW - no need for you to feel foolish. We've all been down the same road. It's just a matter of live and learn.

Hey! Be friends first!

The best relationship I had and still have is with my husband.
We were best friends for a long time before we realized that we loved eachother more than friends do.

Anyway... you probably won't wanna hear this but just have fun for now: Don't get into important relationships yet. You gotta just have a good time.

Also, the right one will pop up when you least expect it. You'll be stinky from gym or just having a bad hair day and you'll meet him....
