it is tough ending a relationship, but you will find some fun in being single. at 19, i was in a relationship with someone who wanted to marry me. it was SCARY!!!! holy canoli forever is a long time! we broke up and married the next girl he dated! i have grown so much since i was 19. the things i wanted in a person are different that what i want now. plus, i have a better handle on who i am!!
i do understand, tho, that feeling of being the only one of your friends not in a serious relationship or married. lots of my friends got married right after graduation, but not me. i moved 6 hours away, all by myself! my friends who did marry right away were very afraid to be alone. it is kind of sad. i have another friend who has said that all of the people she knew that had married right after college, were divorced by their 5 yr reunion! right now, all of my friends are married or in serious relationships. coming from a recent long term (almost married) kind of relationship, i am sad and the fact that i am single makes me feel like i stand out. my friends still love me and treat me well. i like all of their sig others, but i know that i am not ready to be married. i am still too young! there are lots of things to experience, etc. and i would really like to do as much as i can before i settle down.
on a slightly sad note: when i broke up with my bf, i was crying to my dad on the phone about how i would never get married and that i can't believe that he and i broke up, etc. my dad said, "honestly, i never thought you would be married until later in life." i know my dad ment it in the sweetest way, but it made me cry harder!!!
