has anyone here had a painful breakup, and gotten back together again later for good?

I keep thinking my ex’s like… one single fault is so, so fixable with time. he’s only 17, I just turned 18. we were absolutely the best of friends, it’s just that I was starting my life and he’s still in highschool. I decided it was too much, because he didn’t seem interested in what’s probably going to be my life (art). but how could he be if he hasn’t been out in "the real world" yet and doesn’t know how it is?

I was also like his first real friend… ever. so I think the break might be good for him so he’ll learn how to be more sociable (and me, so I can figure out my college life and myself). but I still really hope deep down that he’ll mature just that one step further and we can get back together. am I deluding myself?

has this ever worked for anyone else?
he’s really super upset right now. he sobbed for days (so did I). we went out for six months. I’ve been trying to give him space.

Do my taste in women indicate control issues, and how can I fix them?

21 In college, studying finance.

I have been told that my taste in women are holding me back and that I only have them because of Issues I have with control, It would be nice to learn how to fix some of these issues if it would make the pool of women I find attractive bigger

I have never had a girlfriend in my life, Its hard for me to meet girls because its hard for me to find girls that are what I like, and when I do I get so nervous that I blow it.

here goes…

5’5 or shorter
(I’m 5’7, short for a guy, Ive always been shorter then everyone I know and I cant stand it, I say 5’5 so she can still wear heels)

Younger then me, even if its by one day, I HAVE to be older.
(birth was right at the edge of cut off day for starting kindergarten, I have been the youngest person in a group all my life.)

NOT Bisexual
(HUGE, I have asked out Bi’s before and it always ends in disaster, no offense to them but I just don’t believe that they are capable of what I want, a real monogamous relationship.)

Not into "Masculine" things
I don’t like it when girls are into stuff like sports and cars and other stereotypical "guy" stuff

NO PIERCINGS/TATTOOS
no tongue studs, tramp stamps, noise rings, anklet tats, or belly rings, I HATE THEM (but Ear Piercings are fine of course)

lastly…I know its impossible…but Id really really like her to be a virgin (I’m a virgin too) but I live in the real world and I know that train left the station after jr.high, but it be so great.

I think that it all stems from me wanting to be the man in the relationship, I don’t like tattoos or piercings because I don’t want a girl to be strong enough to get those. I want to be older and taller because Im sick of being the lesser, all my life ive been smaller, the inexperienced, the one that others showed the world too, I want to be the person that other people need help from, I want to lead for once in my life.

I know that all this mess in my head is killing any chance I have at love, but I just don’t know how to cure it!!

Please help

Would you read my book?(plz be honest!)?

OK i have been working on this book for about 2 weeks and i think it’s coming together nicely, now im only 12 and i cant write adult stuff in my book, Just few curse word here and there. so please im not afraid of criticism! here is the first bit of it:
The bright, warm sun shone overhead, beaming down on a Georgian Forest. I brushed a curly, brown strand of hair behind my ear as the sun warmed my skin. I heard the signal call, telling me that lunch was prepared. As I ran back to the base camp, I stopped at the sound of a voice.
“So, you’re a little young to be wondering in these woods alone.” the mysterious man said. “Um, I’m not alone.” I replied. “Well,” the man stated, “where are your parents? Do they know you’re walking alone in the forests?”. Come on, seriously. This dude could be a kidnapper for all I know. That‘s when I ran. As simple and wimpy as it could sound and be, I ran. I heard the man’s calls and footsteps coming after me, and not far behind.
Finally, I entered the magic borders that cut the camp off from the real world, the human world. “Genevieve! Where on Earth have you been? You nearly, you…..never mind. What’s that all over you? Is, is that blood?” Scarlett asked. I had nearly forgotten about how and when I fell and scraped up my left leg. “Oh, that’s nothing. I just fell and sort of got banged up. You know.” I advocated. “No, I don’t know. Anyways,” she told me, “Luke is pissed and wants to see me so, I guess go and find something to do. And do not, do not go back outside the border. Understand?”. I nodded, and with that she was gone.
Here’s the thing about Scarlett, she kind of took on the role of my mom slash guardian after my parents died last spring. She was one of the prettier girls at camp. Long blonde hair, intense green eyes with little flecks of gold and blue. Plus, she always wore the most beautiful dresses I’ve ever seen. I never though of myself of pretty. I had long, curly brown hair(which I hate), tan skin(which make me stand out from the others), and ever changing eyes(that remind me of my mom).
I walked down to the mess hall, or tent. We’re having chicken for the sixth time this week. I grabbed a plate and loaded it with all I could but, still leaving some for the others who haven’t eaten yet. Tonight, I guess we were loading up and moving to yet another deserted forest of town. I sat at a table where I was alone and undisturbed. Suddenly, I see him. A human boy, wandering around the magic borders. He looks about my age, turquoise eyes, and sandy blonde hair that flips to the right. Basically, he’s hot.
