feel like a silly schoolgirl.....

Well as most of you know I had a crappy breakup at the end of September, moved down south etc and have been sorting myself out.

Anyhoo I swore off men and haven't even considered a bloke at all until....last weekend.

I met this lovely guy on a night out and I cannot stop thinking about him - I feel like a silly little girl with a crush (which is what it is!). He lives in another country so there is no chance of anything happening and we have emailed a few times. I am like a girl obsessed though as I keep checking my emails and thinking of him makes me smile. He has given me hope and kind of restored my faith.

Just wanted to start a bit of feel-good thread for those feeling down. Funny how things change isnt? Has anyone else felt like this after a break up?

(You can stop laughing now...!):D:D:D

    This is exactly it - and in a few months you won't be thinking of him any more, but other nice guys you meet, and being giddy over them.

    When I split up with my ex I had this feeling as well, but I guess it is just your hearts way of telling you that you are ready to feel that giggly way about someone else again, and in a few months you will probably look back and think 'what was I thinking!?' (about this guy) but enjoy it!


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.

    Thats great to hear , at least you havent been put off relationships, iam getting a bit concerned about myself so this has given me hope that one day i might just contemplate a relationship again ! i remember your story and read it lots as i was going through something similiar but i didnt post about it all as i would have needed 10 pages or more lol.

    at the moment iam pretty lonly but content too and the thought off another relationship scares the life out off me pluss i dont really want one but hopefully one day i will

  • It's not difficult to understand how you might be focusing on someone new after being so badly hurt. It's a sure sign that your heart hasn't turned into solid granite by past experience and I'm encouraged that you realise that this particular attachment might not go anywhere soon. Accept it as a sign that you are moving on emotionally to a much better, healthier place. Someone more appropriate will come along when you're ready and most probably when you're not expecting it.

    Just because you live in different countries, it doesn't mean nothing will happen (believe me, I know :D)

    Glad to hear you have found someone who makes you smile. :)

    Tell a woman her hair is nice and the next thing she wants to marry you.;)

  • How nice for you OP. Just enjoy the feeling.

    aww brill, wouldn't in be so fantastic if they could bottle and sell that feeling?!!
    You may walk and you may run
    You leave your footprints all around the sun
    And every time the storm and the soul wars come
    You just keep on walking
  • Good for you OP. Enjoy the feeling.

    After 2 disasterous endings to relationships with 2 incredibly selfish women, who left me to be a single father with our combined total of 7 daughters, i'm going on a date tomorrow lunchtime with the kind of woman I am not used too (quiet, shy, insecure......very pretty - all the things I want) My first date in maybe 18 years (36 now)

    Even if it goes badly, and my faith in women is knocked again, i'm enjoying the nervous feelings before the event like a schoolboy.

    Just enjoy flirting and having nice thing said to you, along with the general floary feeling. :D
