Hey all,
So this was my first relationship and I was in the relationship for only a month but we knew each other a little longer. We recently went on a weekend long trip to the beach and stayed at a hotel nearby, however this week on Tuesday, we went for a meal and I had made a few mistakes, some small and some large... The mistakes are:
1. Spoke about my online dating experience - that i had gained 20 numbers, been on 8 dates, but there was no spark.
2. Spoke about the kind of lines i'd use when talking to girls (silly for this chat, throw me your number etc)
3. Suggested she'd stay over this Friday as i wanted to feel close to her as we did at the weekend during our time away... but i made her feel like it was a competition since i said my brothers girlfriend stays over every friday/saturday.
4. Lied and said my mum thought it was weird that she hadn't stayed over yet - she said this made her feel pathetic.
So... she says #3 and #4 are the reasons for splitting, however i feel more like it's #1 and #2. Anyway, this girl has some insecurity issues as i remember her saying on our first date "what if he sees me and walks away", and also she has epilepsy and i've tried helping her through everything and understanding the best i can.
Okay, well, once i found out she was upset and the reasons for being so upset... she told me:
She felt like it was a competition, she felt pathetic, she felt like just another girl (because of how i spoke about my dating experience before i met her), she came to realize that i had said some things the same to her that i had to other girls in the past before we even got into a relationship.
Now what's happened since, in the past few days:
1. She told me she can't forget and although i've apologized a lot it doesn't change what i said/did, and that she had made up her mind and to respect her decision.
2. She's removed FB relationship status
3. She's started removing posts (i know i shouldn't notice this)
Basically, i grew attached to this girl and had a great weekend away, met all her family, every other memory was great and just made the above mistakes one day which led to our relationship seemingly falling apart (she wouldn't give me a chance it seems and didn't respond to my last text message yesterday).
I've been all soppy, trying to change her mind, make things right but having no success.
I find it strange that she hadn't removed me/my parents yet from her facebook and had a conversation with my mother at one point saying "i'm sure i'll see you again", but hasn't spoken to me, ended the relationship and dismissed my apologies/attempts to meet and make it up to her...
Is there anything i can do?
Should i just accept what's happened and try to move on?
