You Can't Always Get What You Want

Boy meets girl. Boy likes girl. Boy tells girl he doesn't want a girlfriend. So boy gets a new girlfriend.

That seems to be the story of our lives. We meet a boy, fall head over heels believing that he's prince charming, only to discover that he doesn't want a relationship. Basically, he doesn't want anything. And then a couple of weeks later, bam, the guy is now in a relationship... with somebody else! While most girls want it all, most guys don't want to be tied down to just one girl. Or in other words, they just don't want to be tied down to

Are you sitting down? This may be harsh...

They just don't want to be tied down to YOU. At least not now.

Yes ladies, I'm going to tell you the truth, just because a guy says that he doesn't want a relationship with you, doesn't mean he won't have one with somebody else. Maybe you're not right for each other. Or maybe he's just not that into you.

A couple of years ago, my ex broke up with me because he wanted to be single and 'discover' himself. At the time, we were twenty one years old and didn't know any better, or so I thought. Two weeks later, he met another girl, and to this day, they are still together. I'm now twenty seven years old. As I look back on it, I can't help but laugh. And you know what, if they are happy, then I'm happy. But obviously, back then, I thought it was the worst thing that could ever happen to me.

I've learned many things from that relationship:
a) Your first love is always your true love.
b) It takes a while to get over somebody, so don't jump into something new right away.
c) Just because your guy tells you he doesn't want a relationship with you, doesn't mean that he doesn't want one.
d) All guys are full of shit. And the one who isn't, will stick around for a while. Hopefully.
