Not only is this bitch in a relationship with someone that she just went on ONE date with 2-3 weeks ago (and a second one on Monday), but she's moving in with them, like... effective right now.

GOD, what is WRONG with the members of my generation!

She has esteem issues. Most likely has to be in a relationship in order to complete her life and fill a void left by the previous suitor. She doesn't have the self confidence to roll through life solo being happy with herself. Most likely this will not end well either.

Or money issues and just wants to live with a guy to leech off of him.

I think both you and NC are right. Although she just had a job interview today so that might be changing. So I've heard. She's been my best friend for a couple years now but this whole situation made me lose all respect for her, so we're no longer on speaking terms. I've got enough crazy in my life, I don't need hers as well.

You're right. Those people with dependency issues gave us our current President.

Outstanding. Tomorrow night I'm going to dinner with a girl that I was just set up with, I think I need to find a way to 'demonstrate value.' Any thoughts?

Be yourself. Be honest and share your goals and plan to get there if you aren't already there. Don't talk about who you know, what you have or any of the like.

That establishes "high value" you are seeking.

ps. make the meetup casual (nothing fancy). Even if it's just a meetup at a coffee shop.

One of the best things I have done was take a girl to a Barnes and Noble, and tell her if she could only read one book in that entire store, what would it be? Have her search it out. It will tell you a lot about her. If she picks the Bible...end the date immediately ...

She's scared to be alone, some women just have to have someone no matter if they really love them or not.

I edited it since it has bad words and there may be kids trolling or something. But related to Skins' post. :P

Well here I am back in this thread. Just got dumped after a year and a half. I'm not taking it too well. (And I'm coming to men for solace :P) I had been dating a chick for the past year and a half. Long distance because I'm finishing up grad school. I'm done in the spring, just got 2 classes left, but they're specialized so transferring isn't an option.

But she just got a job doing volunteer coordinating for a non-profit last month. It's really been taking a toll on her energy wise and basically she has zero left in the tank for the relationship. She says she fell out of love a month ago, although I don't totally believe that, I was just there last week and she wined and dined me and gave me my birthday gift which was a bit expensive. Then all of a sudden, I'm not in love with you. Wtf? Note she had NEVER mentioned any of this before. She mentioned the distance was hard and she was lonely and missed me a lot, but it had been like that the entire relationship.

When I ask her what's her logic behind leaving she says, "I need to go so I can be better for you if we're supposed to be together in the future." Like a bleeding heart female I told her my plan was to continue to love and support her, with some additional space in between us. I don't expect the same from her, but I was hoping that this would at least stick in the back of her head that I'm still here and in love. So basically, I wasn't going to change anything on my half. To this she responds that I'm a really good girl and you never know what can happen down the line. Dafuq? That was the vaguest non-committal response she could've given me.

Prior to all this, on Saturday, she had originally told me she loved me an had no intentions of leaving me. That all changed yesterday.

So... I'm not really sure what to do. I really love this chick and I'm not ready to take a wishy-washy no for an answer.
