Alright, so we have been dating for over a year. His last birthday, I filled his apartment with balloons for a balloon scavenger hunt, and just got him a t-shirt for my college. (We had been dating for almost 4 months.) For Christmas, we had been dating 6 months and I got him tickets to Blue Man Group. Boy did he love that! We went to Universal Studios for the day (since we have passes) then went to dinner, and then to the show. For Valentine’s Day I got him an Onyx/Sterling Silver ring. For our 1 year anniversary I made him a book of our love story and he loved it. (We agreed to make presents for our anniversary instead of buying junk.)

Anyway, his birthday is coming up towards the end of September and I am at a loss! I don’t want to buy him just any old thing, ya know? He is going to be 20. He likes dragons, swords and weapons, music (we were in band together in High School, he is studying Recording Arts in college), Magic (the card game), video games of all sorts… he’s just a typical guy. I need to leave in a few minutes, but any ideas would be great! Thanks. I was thinking about getting the ring engraved, because I was going to do that on Valentine’s Day but thought it was a little much. I always said I’d get it done at a later point in time. Other ideas?

(We started going out on April 15th, 2007)

Matt & I went out for 1 year 4 months & 14 days and we were perfect together. We loved each other more than anyone else could possibly imagine. Everyone said we were just so perfect and we were such a cute and perfect couple. For my Christmas and 1 year anniversary present Matt got me a promise ring, and promised to be with me forever. He had everything planned out and he even had when he was going to propose/be engaged to me planned. I was going to invite him to go to prom with me this year (2008-2009), but now that we’re not together I don’t know if that’ll still happen. Everything was perfect & I was so excited because I wouldn’t have to go through the pain of a heartbreak and finding someone to to spend the rest of my life with since I was with Matt. Matt was my first boyfriend, my first love, my first kiss, my first makeout, the first guy I really hungout with, the first guy I actually believed was different, the first guy I held hands with, he was just my first for everything.

Well as we all know that didn’t happen…everything changed. Matt & I broke up and yes my heart did get broken, and it still is. But…We’re still going to stay friends and still talk as friends, just not about the break up. I honestly wanted to try to make it work, I didn’t want to give up and I was hoping he wouldn’t give up either, but he did. Matt told me not to blame myself for the break up that it was all him, but I just don’t see how I couldn’t have any part in that…So I started thinking…if I would have just said yes to one thing I told him no to, maybe it would’ve worked out, maybe we would still be together. Such as dancing…I hated dancing, and I figured out why…because I never had a real boyfriend to dance with and I’d never danced before…but since I started going out with Matt he got me to start dancing, and I like it now, but it was only because it was with him, and I was in his arms. I just really wish that I could go back to every single thing I said no to, and change it to a yes. Since Matt was my first for/with so many things it’s harder for me to let go of him. I wasn’t Matt’s first for a lot of these things so it’s not as hard for him as it is me. We’ve cleared everything up about the break up and now it’s just a matter of time before the heartbreak will get over. I’m glad Matt is actually happy now and all I want is just for him to be happy!! Even though we’re not going out I am glad we’re staying friends, because I don’t want to loose him completely!! Yes talking to him is hard now because I can’t call him on the phone and talk to him like I use to. I also…can’t call him "sweetheart" anymore, I can’t say "I love you" anymore, I can’t say "I miss you", I can’t kiss his soft lips, I can’t just stay in his arms during a hug anymore, I can’t hangout with him like I use to, I can’t hold his hands anymore, I can’t call/txt him to say good morning or good night anymore, and nothing is going to be the same. So it’s going to be hard.

I’ve prayed to god every single night asking for just one more chance with Matt, and to have god just put it in his head, or dream of what use to be. But as of now, my prayers haven’t been granted…sadly to say. I don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t want to be hurt like I am, but I don’t want to forget/get over Matt either. I know deep down inside he still loves me because he’s told me so, but I don’t know anymore.

There’s just something about him that made me be myself. He brought me out of my shell, and I was so happy of the person I became, but now that I’m not with him anymore I can tell that I’m slowly drifting back to my old self. I was even going to ask him to prom, and everyone knows I hate to dance, but Matt made me like dancing, being with him and sharing that special moment with him. I just don’t know what it is about him, but I loved him and I loved who he made me become!!!!

(We’ve been broken up since August 29th, 2008)

On Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 i sent him a picture message, and his had a pic of me and the song what hurts the most attached to it. and then it said stuff like please don’t forget about me even if it is just as a friend and that kind of stuff. and he sent one back saying…
"Theres my pretty girl. Ill never forget u Krystal dont worry"

I get to see him next weekend at a small festive that our town does, and he said that I can still go up and give him a hug and talk to him like we have done since we were 8 years old (before we started going out) But he wanted to know what booth I was working and what times. So I told him and then asked him if he was wanting to know so he could stay as far away as possible, and his response was…"Na juss wonderin"

I’m sooo confused I don’t know what he’s going to do this next weekend, and when he broke up with me it took him like 10 minutes to say that he wanted to break up, and his eyes were all puffy and he was shaking. Also after he
Before he even could say that he wanted to break up, all he could keep saying is "YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU AND ALWAYS WILL LOVE YOU" and since that is all he could keep saying to me, it took him like 10 minutes to say he wanted to break up. Also after he broke up with me he started crying, and when I talked to him that night on the phone he said he cried the 20 minute drive to town and then 2-3 hours in his uncles arms. And when I talked to him on the phone 4 days after the break up he kept calling me his girl and saying I still love you, and I always will no matter what!!!!

Ok so, my girlfriend of a year broke up with me about two weeks ago. Just a week before our year anniversary. She claimed that i never gave her space to breathe and that for the past month or so we were arguing about everything. I have no problem admitting that i was extremely clingy and always trying to hover over her via texts, calling, asking to hang out, ect. She told me she needed space and i didnt know how to handle it. I begged and cried and pleaded for her to let me have another chance but claimed that she just couldnt do it right now. The next week was my birthday, i asked her to hang out with me just because it would make me feel better about everything (big mistake, i think) I went out and bought her 2 life sized teddy bears, 2 dozen roses, a card, and like 10 balloons shaped like hearts. She agreed to come over and i presented her with everything. She was happy and started to cry and i thought i was doing great. Then, she began to tell me that she had told me to be less clingy in the past and that i had gone back to being the clingy person i am for the last year we’ve been together and it wasnt going to take a week for her to notice that i changed. I cried and we hugged and talked for about 30 minutes and then she left. I have started going back to therapy to try and work on becoming less clingy, and work on my short temper and just have been doing everything i possibly can to show her that i have and can change. Its been a week and a half since my birthday and i havent talked to her since. I feel like the best way to show her that im changing is by giving her that space that she asked for. a few days ago i got a text from her asking what happened at school that day but it was a very short lived conversation. I felt like that was her way of trying to talk to me again or coming up with an excuse to talk to me.
I haven fallen deeply in love with this girl and we were together for just about a year. She said that after new years she would see how she was doing and that maybe we could try things out again. She goes away for christmas and new years to visit her family and will be gone for a week and a half. Do you think she’ll realize how much she loved me and wants to still be with me? I need to know how else to get her back because i love this girl so much and i would do anything to have her back. Please help me :(

My boyfriend recently told me that he wanted to take a break because he said that he just needed some time and space. I talked to him the other day and he said that he definitely does want to eventually get back together after he has had his space. It was supposed to be our 3 year anniversary on October 17th. I respected his decision but I want him back so bad! I miss him so much and I love him more than life itself. What would be the best way to win him over again without looking desperate and without trying to seem like I’m rushing the break? PLEASE HELP!
