Being single is complicated….

I used to be the girl who was so quick to call a guy my boyfriend. If we had gone out for more than 2 weeks and I saw him almost every day there was no question in my mind that we were together.

This of course, lead to many broken hearts. Guys would just stop calling out of the blue and they never thought that they did anything wrong because we were never ‘officially’ together so there was no need for a breakup.

I have had a lot of guys dissapear on me over the years. It made me a very hard person. I was generally not very trusting after having a few guys just dissapear.

I didn’t really date at all for about a year. Recently I realized that life was not really living without the possibility of love. Despite all the bad shit that happened in my life I still wanted to fall in love.

I recieved a great peice of advice from a friend who said

“Never call yourself thier girlfriend or think that you guys are boyfriend/girlfriend until you hear it come out of their mouth.

Not them asking you to be thier girlfriend but until they introduce you as there girlfriend.”

I took this advice to heart and stayed away from thinking that anyone was my boyfriend. But now the guy that I am seeing told me that he doesn’t want me to see anyone else.

I sense that we are getting serious, but there are a ton of other things to consider.

Once again I am lost…boys confuse me
