I'm breaking things off with the girl who's like me. I'd started thinking about the future and no amount of skepticism stopped it. That always made me sure about things with her because thoughts of a future with every other girl were completely destroyed almost instantly by my skepticism.
So I found myself more and more drawn to this girl, far more than any other person I've ever met, hell, even more than I thought possible. But we've had similar dreams for a while, being similar and stuff. We want to travel, go a lot of places, and even the job she wants to get was like what I was thinking of doing other than teaching. I wanted to travel the world and have a different life in each country, but then I met her and could honestly picture settling down and shit.
But she couldn't, at least not for a few years. She'd tell me she wasn't ready to commit, and that's totally fine by me. It's part of the reason I'm breaking it off. But also, I'm just mad. I don't know if I'm more mad at her or at myself. She'd say things to me that no one did, like that she saw parents with their kids and couldn't help but picture us in that situation, or that she couldn't imagine herself without me. But then she'd be on the other side of the spectrum, asking me to be her boyfriend and then cringing when I say it out loud, before asking for a break. On top of that, from the get-go she was worried about if I'd be fine with her fucking other guys. I lied and said I was, but then the more she told me about it, the more I hated it, to the point I told her she couldn't. She never exactly agreed, but would eventually ask me if she could again.
I highly doubt I'll meet anyone who satisfies me in all the ways she can. I could write a separate wall of text about that. But she told me she won't have any room for love in her life for a few years, so I'm going to say goodbye, and I hope she doesn't find anyone better if I don't and decides to contact me so we can try again. But at this point, I want to travel, see the world and shit and I'm not going to do that in a relationship where I have to worry when the next break will be, or the next time she'll ask if she can fuck other guys, or whatever my imagination can conjure from those things.
Besides, she said she's not ready right now and can't be with me. I could do it, but since she can't, I'm looking elsewhere.
In other news, I chatted up a hot half Asian girl and left right when she started bringing up stuff that could have turned into an awesome conversation. Oh well.
