Chicks don't up and leave a relationship unless they have another one in the making, its simply not in their DNA. You wait a couple weeks UA and tell me if I ain't right, because part of their usual SOP is to "let you know" when they think they have landed the new prey.

Go enjoy some things you like to do.
Don't try to find another relationship, but let it happen if one develops.
Don't initiate contact with her.
Bad Advice:
Go bang a bunch of girls - is that really what you want hanging over you if you do get back together?
Compete with her to be the first into a relationship - exactly what do you gain from this?
Beg her to come back - guarantees she will not.
Give her an ultimatum or a timeline - you will not like the response.

I disagree. She wanted to be single. She should (probably doesn't) realize she opened the door for that when she wanted to be single. So it's not really hanging over him. It's the best way to not sit around and wonder what (or who) she's doing. I wasted all of college on one girl and then we broke up. I waited for her because I thought we would get back together because we were meant to be or some shit. I never really gave up on her until she married some other guy. What a waste of time. It wasn't her fault, but I should have been out having a lot of fun instead holding out for something that was never going to happen.BCBulldog;477303 wrote:Bad Advice:

Dude, let me tell you that she is looking for some new dick. I know that's harsh, but I have seen friends go through this before when I was younger (I am now 28). You guys are both so young, you need to experience more. Don't look at it as losing a girlfriend, look at it as gaining many notches on your bed post. When I was 21 and broke up with my GF of 2 years, I was hurt.......for about 6 hours until I went to the bar and realized how lose the young/hot women's morals were. Trust me, this isn't a bad thing at all. It is actually a great thing. You have your whole life ahead of you, don't worry about 1 broad until you're older and by older I mean like 70.UA5straightin2008;476958 wrote:..of 2.5 years. She said she has changed since weve been together and wants to know what she is like when she is single. Basically taking a break for a while so were not together so she can see if she really needs me. She just asked for her space while she figures things out. She says if its meant to be its meant to be and she'll be back once she realizes it... which is true i guess..It just hit me pretty hard because i really didnt see this coming and we have had ZERO problems in the past. I just dont know what to do, its been a really hard past 2 days...any thoughts?

Listen to them often, when you're feeling down.
