Missing out on dating?

-_-;;

This could be a nice way of saying "I don't want to be with you anymore", but more likely the person saying this would just rather be with someone else who isn't you. When someone says this, they probably have someone already lined up, and they want to explore what it would be like with them. Do I think it's wrong? It all depends on what your relationship is based off of. If it's a loving relationship but those involved have never made the future concrete, then it's completely in his/her right to leave, although he/she is probably not doing it in a very good way. If the couple was planning a future and one leaves, then yeah, that's not right.

I've heard some girls say that they've done this to see how much they'll miss or if they'll want their boyfriend back, but in all honesty, that's probably a cover.

That's pretty cool, by the way.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The result? She realized that she could never love anyone like she loved Steve. No one else was the same, and she constantly felt a pull back to him. To this day, they have been happily married for ten years, with two kids and a third on the way. They have a comfotable home, she has a career, and he loves to cook italian for the family.

That's a really cool story. Lately, I've been really cynical with...well, the opposite sex in general. ^_^;; But I guess some really do this to allay any fears they have of if they're with the right person or not. Of course, maybe every other guy your sister dated in college was a jerk, but that was a touching story, nonetheless.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
