So, this might seem like a weird place to talk about this..
but my girlfriend of a year and a half and I broke up on the phone about 10 minutes ago.
I have funny feelings in my stomach right now.
The question is... what do I do now?

what to do... if old enough... get yourself drunk and feel sorry for yourself then..
tomorrow... move on.. I've had my heart shattered more times than I count.. many of us have. Life goes on.. and THE one for you is out there. The fun for you now... is to try, by process of elimination, to find her.

MICKY! I was wondering if you would ever return. And Conor, the best advice is to do whatever works best for you to deal with the breakup. Everyone's different really, so I can't necessarily say what's the best way.

 You're asking advice on love on a prog forum, where most of the members (not all, mind you) are self-declared virgin/loser/celibate or unsociable???? 
You must be masochist.... or you really must wish for that break up to be definitive
Is she worth it?? Did you have fun almost all of the time????
I'd say sleep on it and talk it over with her tomorrow

I would disagree with Micky on one point: There is no guarantee that 'THE one' is out there for you at all. In fact, I don't even believe in the concept of 'THE one'. Not everybody finds their happy ending in life. That's a very cold fact, but one I would advise you to become aware of. For your own sanity's sake.
Now, moving away from that grim little outlook I have (take it or leave it), I honestly think you have more than a good chance of being reasonably happy with another in the future. Hell, you might even find someone you can stand long enough to form a family with. Anyone who is reasonably good-looking and/or has a kind, honest heart is already ahead of others in ways. This girl isn't the be all, end all of girls. I don't even know her, and I can still tell you that with great confidence. 
The question really is this . . . will you allow yourself to let go of this? Some people waste away years of their lives waiting on someone who will never come. If you choose to hold this girl in such high esteem, I fear you may miss out on some truly worthy opportunities for romance in the future.
In short: forget about her. If you honestly feel like she is who you want to be with, then stay in touch, be a friend, and make your feelings known. She may return to you someday, or she may not. But if you DON'T truly feel like she is worth all the heartache, then forget about her and move on.
If you truly love her, fight to win her love back. But be honest with yourself. Is she really all that big of a deal? Is she really worth hurting over? 9 times out of 10, the answer to both of those questions is going to be 'no'. In your case, I'm willing to bet very highly that it's the same answer.

obviously there are no guarantees in life... here today...gone tomorrow.
see my POV is... and I do think it is a good one... if you aren't living for something.. have hope in something greater than yourself.. then what the hell are we living for. Money? success? Find me one person who has been made happy by either... very often they are used as substitutes for what really makes you happy, Love, and are often the most miserable people you'll ever meet.
I dig you man... but Conor.. listen closely. There is someone for everyone... unfortunately the world has taken on a mighty case of cynic crotch rot. Those who don't think THE one exists... simply aren't looking or have convinced themselves that a man and a women can not be a perfect match. That isn't saying moonlight and roses 24/7.. but a relationship where you are much friends as well as lovers and understand that neither is perfect and never forget what made you fall in love in the first place.
so what is so impossible to believe about finding that person in your life... bah..

What to do now? Do not seek for advice on a music internet forum.
The people around you...your friends, your family, your girlfriend's friends...know you better. They will most likely give you a better advice. Over the wire, we can give you 'hit or miss' advice...however...
It seems that you care. I dunno if the people around you are aware of your feelings, I don't know if you're introvert or emotional person...but most likely, they will be something like 'you'll get over it', 'it's not the end of the world', 'you'll find another one'...
That's rubbish. Most likely, you will get over it, but...never completely. And that's fine. Every love, happy or unhappy one, is a part of your life - it's what defines you. No-one can take that from you.
I guess - unless you settle things out and continue together - you will meet again at least once more. You owe each other that much after year and a half. If not, if the telephone conversation is the one that ended you relationship after year and a half, then, regardless of your feelings, perhaps she's not the best person for you - because that means unsolved issues, a lack of communication and troubles in the future.
Whatever the outcome, good luck to you (both).

^ This. You don't break up on the phone. It's just too easy.
What you need to do is spend some time with your best mates, or whoever else (family) is important in your life, get some support, or at least people to talk this over with.

I would take the advice of Mr. Doctor, in the Devil Doll album Dies Irae:
Among the trees Holding her out my hands "What about a walk?" I avoid the sharp splinters Of her sweet shattered gaze Step by step Into the labyrinths of doubt Every shelter: a trap While distresses I witness The twilight of my heart You spread around drops of light Unaware of the rustle Of invisible syllables: "You will not get out Of eternal peace!" And the virgin blade kisses - Freeing - Your white throat
No pain I'm quite sure She feels no pain! The voice Still throbs: "Each man Kills The thing He loves!"
(if this doesn't help, you could always go to Love Beach)

Sorry to be on topic here. I am afraid that heartache is a part of the nature. Wolves, lions, elks, eagles and whales also get heartaches. I am afraid you have to take the heartache on the chin and get on with it. This process has to run it's course. Don't get drunk and don't harm yourself. If you feel really bad, call the Samaritans hotline or talk to someone.

Hugues, I wonder who am I when I'm quite unsociable person who is currently happily in relationship for 16 long months with a girl who is equally unsociable as I am. Therefore, we are two unsociable persons who like to be unsociable together. Friends aren't that important to us as each other is. Of course, this is also caused by music we are listening, not many people are able to understand Prog. Who knows why, maybe people in general doesn't like to think. But it's scary how many people are declaring their virginity, makes me think about differences between cultures. Losers ? And these losers often things they are winners :-D Hugues, I suppose you are luckily married guy, am I right ?

I was with my last girlfriend for a few years. We got engaged and really close to marriage. Split up mostly amicably. She initiated it. Within a few weeks, I met the woman who became my wife. So if it's truly over don't sweat it. I don't know about the whole deodorant thing. I actually happen to smell naturally good. So try again. And I am a firm believer in the power of masturbation to make you feel a little better. 
By the way the relationship with my former girlfriend didn't occur until I was in my late 20's, so don't be afraid to take a break from love.

I'm trying to figure out how an internet addicted Prog fan meets new girls and initiates relationships with them!
What do girls look for?
And how not to be friends material??

I'm an internet addicted music fan and I met my new man on last.fm. Well, he met me there, and joined a music forum I was on just to get to know me better. All right, so we're still at the long distance level atm, but it's still kinda new. I'm just trying to say that it happens.
He is honest, open, mature and he treats me right.
Can I speak for all women? No.
Does that pretty cover what all sane people look for in a partner though? Most likely.
Avoiding to be friend material?
Ermmm... a couple of subtle but not too subtle lines that are both flirty and complimentary and if she doesn't respond, move on?

Yeah, but see, I think it has to do with honesty though. I mean, if you feel something that's flattering, just say it, even if it's just "I'm interested in you."
Seriously, one the line that made me fall for that guy and probably made me decide to meet him was "I was listening to Coltrane thinking about you". It's subtle, it's charming. It's geeky, but who cares.

It can seem that way, but it's not really the case. Women like confidence in men, and confidence shouldn;t be confused with aggression. Women like a man who can take charge of a situation. They like men who are popular with and respected by their male friends. They like men who still respect their ex girlfrineds..but dont keep in touch with them
Sometimes women who have come from violent or unstable backgrounds like the 'bad guys' you're referring to, and although these women can seem quite compelling and attractive, they are to be avoided at all costs!!

Unfortunately, I think this is a hundred percent correct. While it's true that someone who isnt threatening can still attract a girl or two, I can definately see the primal 'alpha male' thing at work all the time. I guess I'll just have to work on that a bit more and show that I am one of those, or at least pretend to be

Read what I wrote in response to this claim. I promise you it's not the case. I'll say it again, women like confidence, not obnoxiousness. The type of women who do habitually get involved with arsehole men, will never be right for you, and for that you should count yourself lucky!!
Oh yeah, and don't pretend to be something you're not. Women see through that straight away, and you wont be able to sustain the new 'bad guy' you, anyway..

That depends. Did you actually love her?
If so, you have the option to give up and remain single the rest of your life (if you meet someone else who you love "more", it means you didn't love her at all in the first place) or fight for her.
If not, well, what the typical love cricket does is find someone else who the back of the mind knows isn't really for them but the left cerebrum convinces them that that person is their one and only Savior. You'll tell her you love her, probably f**k her, then slowly but surely care less for her until you wait until she breaks up with you, or more respectably break up with her. You will then annoy your friends about how sad you are. In this stage, the back of your mind doesn't mind at all and knows that it's all done, but you're bitch of a left cerebrum keeps telling you to act depressed and pretend that you've lost all hope. But then in a couple of weeks, you'll meet someone else. Rinse and repeat. However, you don't seem like a love cricket. In fact, you seem pretty genuine. So I'd recommend finding someone else, and be more careful about finding someone who can agree to disagree, and can still love you even with the difference of opinion. Obviously, you have to love her as well. Once (or if, for the love of cynical people) you find this person, the rest is up to you.

It's kind of weird because I would categorize my first long term girlfriend as more of a girl than a woman in that she didn't really know what she wanted to do in life. That ultimately was what probably killed the relationship. Of course you may have to figure out what the hell you want to do yourself to find a stable and long lasting relationship. So, seriously, figure yourself out, find someone who has figured herself out, and you will greatly increase your chances of success. They're no guarantees of course.

I'm finding it's just a pain to meet people. Practically all the women I know hold torches for friends of mine or we're so tangled up in friendship its stupid to try to figure anything out from that. Not that I even want to start a relationship with a friend I've had for years. Well this post isn't about love I guess. I'm just starting over. Things seem clearer now that I can look back and see how retarded I was for not taking advantage of college, not in the crude hooking up sense but just that it's a place with a lot of people my age in a dense area, with people who are relatively smart. Now I have to try to work a city to find people I connect with. Doubly hard when I'm looking for work. Things can come together quickly, though.
Love for me is a weird thing (probably is for everyone). After a failed start at the beginning of last school year I realized that wanting to get laid is a horrible horrible desire. It will make you make disgusting decisions for yourself and others. There's a tip for everyone. If you want to be close to someone, don't get started with wrong intentions. Bad things happen. Lessons learned.
Anyway, random thoughts. Take as you will.

Emotions are the same throughout life, some might say they're even more intense at this age.. In terms of 'finding a life partner,' things obviously aren't serious, but then again, I'm not looking to be married anytime in my life.

but everything is surely more tragic and melodramatic for a teenager, I was one not so long ago, so I still remember how things were intense back then, now I'm old and cooooool but anyway, wish you luck with your future loves - make sure that your second half is at least tolerant to prog

Yes.....nothing wrong with a little masturbation!...It's sex with someone I love. (Woody Allen)
Not healthy to get accustomed to the process of masturbation though. If it becomes habit forming it can effect the way you personally feel over a sexual relationship aspect with a girl...as you may eventually desire your own method than hers. Did you ever feel like saying .....Don't touch me there?...or thinking to yourself :..This just doesn't feel right?
It's all very normal to feel these feelings especially when you base it off the contrived media commercials that make references toward sex. Love can make things as simple as sitting in an open field and enjoying nature a new life experience. If you are in touch with those particular experiences on your own and do not think less of them when she is not there, then you are on your way to taking steps beyond your control. The thing is though, many women are attracted to men who wish to live in solitude. I practiced celibacy for many years and had a difficult time in getting rid of women and their interest in me. I would become frustrated and tell them not to play their games with me. Granted not all women are the same with motives but, I started to think that way due to their explotation of my contemplation side. Saying things like....Love exsists but sex contains the germ of death...caused them to be put their plan in motion. They know what you are but, insist on invading that. Not answering the phone doesn't work very well either.
Some women will cause you to doubt your desires. Once they catch you doubting your own motives, it is then that they have an open path to con you into something for their own agenda. They have plans for you and making them disappear is a task. When I sit across from a married couple and it is plain to see they have internal problems, I'll try anything to get away. The husband is striking it big with your wife in conversation and the wife of the husband plainly has the hots for ya, and it's a real zoo.

I'll recommend you three songs.
1. I Don't Believe in Love by Queensryche. You'll feel better about yourself, because that guy was REALLY hurt by the death of his love.
2. The Spirit Carries On by Dream Theater
your girlfriend says to you, Move on, be brave
Don't weep at my grave
Because I`m no longer here
3. Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd.

obviously there are no guarantees in life... here today...gone tomorrow.
see my POV is... and I do think it is a good one... if you aren't living for something.. have hope in something greater than yourself.. then what the hell are we living for. Money? success? Find me one person who has been made happy by either... very often they are used as substitutes for what really makes you happy, Love, and are often the most miserable people you'll ever meet.
I dig you man... but Conor.. listen closely. There is someone for everyone... unfortunately the world has taken on a mighty case of cynic crotch rot. Those who don't think THE one exists... simply aren't looking or have convinced themselves that a man and a women can not be a perfect match. That isn't saying moonlight and roses 24/7.. but a relationship where you are much friends as well as lovers and understand that neither is perfect and never forget what made you fall in love in the first place.
so what is so impossible to believe about finding that person in your life... bah..
|
You misunderstand me, Micky. When I say 'The one' doesn't exist, I mean the popular, business-pushed depiction of 'the one'. Of course there is potentially somebody out there, but it most likely won't be the 100% match that movies and commercials depict. Some kids grow up expecting their relationships to have that sappy, 'magical' stuff, complete with a soundtrack full of pop tunes and spot-on production values. Should I not warn against being taken in by such a con?
And I'm sorry, but no, there isn't someone out there for everyone. There are more women in this world than men, so the heterosexual world is greatly unbalanced. Additionally, it is quite possible for someone to love multiple people equally as much in her lifetime. But how many of those love interests feel the same in return? The romantic and sexual attraction between two individuals are not very consistent.
I'm not a grim person. I'm just realistic. And it's best that I face the real world of love as soon as I can so that I won't be tormented by loneliness and despair later in life.
However, I do not disbelieve in real, tangible love. In my case, there is only one person of the female persuasion I can honestly say I have 'loved' thus far. Just the same, I have no doubt that real love is what my feelings for her are made of. I don't know if we will remain together forever or not. Hell, we're not even technically a couple right now. It doesn't make me love her any less. In fact, I feel I'll always love her. And the likelihood of running into another girl I love just as much in the future is quite slim. However, I know it is still possible. If anything, throwing out the concept of a 'one true love' is a very uplifting, liberating thing to do. By doing this, you can recognize that if your current love fizzles, there is still a chance that an equally powerful romance is in your future. It's not always likely, but very possible nonetheless.
But to say that there is absolutely someone out there for everyone is a bit of a cheat, in my opinion. Of course there is potentially someone out there for all, but how likely is it really that the paths of both parties will cross? So I like to put it in a different way: There is always the potential of finding true love, but no guarantee. Circumstance and luck play large roles in whether or not you can find someone you're completely crazy about.
You want my real love advice? Here it is: Have you ever cared about someone with all your heart, but had no logical idea why? Have you ever loved a person who is very different from yourself in belief system, personal taste, culture, attitude, etc.? Well, that's how I would define true, unconditional love; when you can't even explain yourself why this person stays on your mind all the time. I'm not saying that's the only way it can be recognized, but it certainly makes sense to me. To me, real love is when you adore a person for no other reason than just that. You adore them. Nothing else matters.
I hope I have cleared some things up.
