Endless love would be nice, but so far it's a NO for me.

Screw my high school boyfriends (I only had two).

One thought he was gay and the other dumped me because "God told him to". FREAKS! Where do I find such losers?

I met my sweetie in high school.. and when I was a senior in high school we would go to the movies and to dinner, but we were never "official".... we became "official" my freshman year in college, and 3 years, 3 months later, we're still together and going strong. He has since graduated and found a job close by where I am going to school now, and I can't say enough how excited I am that I have such a wonderful person in my life!!!

Ah, I had one...we were together for over 2 years. My friends and sorority sisters assumed we were going to get married, and we were talking about it until he decided (or his mother convinced him, I'm not sure) to come back home to N. Ireland even though there was nothing for him there except paramilitaries and government office jobs. He asked me to join him there after graduation and I agreed, I had the paperwork filled out and everything, but the more I thought about it, the more I didn't want to go because it's a lot less safe than it is here and he was reluctant to make it official by giving me a ring, so if it hadn't worked out I would've been stranded alone in a foreign country. So I ended up not going, and even though he said was coming back "as soon as he saved the money," he's still over there and I really don't look for him to appear at all so I've pretty much moved on. It's sort of sad to think that I was wrong, that he really wasn't "the one" (if there is such a thing) after all, but I guess that's the way things go. There's actually a lot more to this that I don't really feel like going into on a public board, but that's the gist of my very own tragic tale of unrequited love.

I know in college years it seems like a long time, but so many of you say you've been together for two years.

That's a tiny speck of time in the overall scope of things.

Good luck for the next twenty or so.

But, DeltAlum, that's like, you know, HALF of college! If he pledged AND changed his major three times without breaking up with me, that means we're meant to be together!

Seriously, I know what you're saying, and have wanted to say it myself here from time to time.

I had a LOT of friends who dated their entire college careers (we're talking from Orientation onward). They spent all their time together. Most lived together senior year, with plans to move in together after college. They swore they'd be together forever.

Guess what happened?

They broke up a few months after graduation. A few didn't even make it to Commencement Day. A relationship built on collegiate morals and standards doesn't always survive out there in the real world. I learned more and changed my views on so much between the first semester of my junior year and the last week of senior year than any two-year period of my life. I had no idea about what I wanted to do for the summer--let alone for the rest of my life. YOU LEARN SO MUCH.

As for me, I thought I had the One when I was 18. He was an azz. My current guy is the one I'd like to spend the rest of my life with. We aren't in college anymore (him for a verrry long time) so things are a little different. We were the only couple in our circle who made it 6 months after graduation.

Reading that again sounds real "preachy" on my part, and I'm sorry about that.

But here's what I had in mind when I wrote it.

There were three couples of us who dated, fairly seriously, in the last two years of college -- and we all got married within nine weeks after the women's graduation. They were all the year behind us.

Of those three couples, we are the only ones who haven't been through at least one divorce.

It can be sobering.

my boyfriend and i have been dating for almost 2 years, though we did break up for a short while this summer. i have never thought he was "the one" and i'm pretty sure he feels the same way about me. people ask us why we're together if we know it's not going to last - but for now, the two of us work together and have a great time - it just wouldn't work out permanently in the "real world".

however, i have met "the one" - i've been in love with him for a couple of years and he is one of my best friends. we became great friends when we were seniors in high school and now he goes to a different university than me. he is planning on transferring here next fall. i'm patient for him because i know that one day we will be together - even if it's not until we're 50. i know he's the one

now, i know that seems wrong, but...i can't help my endless love

When I was in college, I met a man I thought that I could marry and spend the rest of my life loving. Being the person I am, I knew that I was too young for that so I never got involved with him. I sometimes wonder if my decision was too hasty. I guess that I will never know. *shrug*

I really thought my HS boyfriend was the one we started dating when I was 14 and dated all the way till a couple of months ago. He was perfect I thought and there was noone at all that knew me better..Until I found out he had been cheating one for about 2 years...So i'm single and realize how stupid I was for thinking that this guy was the one when I was just so young

Rio_Kohitsuji · #27 12-07-2003, 12:00 AM

Well, I thought my hs boyfriend was "The One", damn, I was so blind to what was really going on. Oye.

Now, I truely believe that I have found "The One". Dusty and I were actually "friends" for a maximum of 3 days. Count 'em, THREE! We started dating officially very soon and we've been together for over 2 years. He is my best friend and he knows me better than my best girlfriend!

And..if a certain event happens next semester...we'll be getting married. A bit too soon that what we wanted but hey, things happen for a reason I guess.

You know everyone is different.. thats what I always think.. but my thoughts are.. college is not a good judge of what life will be like ..

i always feel like i still dont even know myself yet.. who knows.. maybe i wont for some time.. but i cant see myself getting married right now even if i thought i found the "one" .. my boyfriend and i dated for four years.. (breaking up for a semester in there).. and even though he is amazing.. we both know that we have to make sure we do our own thing before we go out and get married.. it sucks to not be together.. but i think making sure that we are happy and ready is worth the risk..

i dont want to look back when i am forty and wish i had gone out more with my friends.. or taken that job but didnt bc i was held back.. when im ready i will be ready.. if he is still there and i still want to be with him.. then maybe he is the one.. who knows..
