I really like this girl.. and i think she likes me

Well, im 16 almost 17. I was with my ex for like 5 years on and off (i know, we were EXTREMELY young but we were both just young and in love at the time i guess haha), on and off etc.. We havent been together now for about 2 weeks and the past 3 or 4 days i've started talking to another girl who's in my class. I'd never really spoke to her before and i realised we had so much in common, not meaning to sound cheesy or anything.

Basically, before today i thought getting back with my ex was a sure thing but now i think im really starting to like this other girl.. She's eastern european and has loads of interesting things to say, she's intelligent and can hold up a conversation but at the same time she's shy.. Which i just love, it's so cute. My ex is just.. ugh, idk.. I do love her, but she's just kinda a drag, always complaining and causing arguments. She can go days without saying anything if it wasn't for me trying to get talk out of her.. I think it's time for something new with this other girl. All her friends kinda hinted that she liked me, and have become kinda giggly around me in school. (which is strange cause they're usually very quiet)

Basically guys any advice much appreciated!

 

Go for the new girl. She sounds like much more fun to be around and it seems like you like her more. I think the main reason you think about your ex is because you were with her so long and its more of a comfort thing than an actual love thing. Just move on from your ex and have fun with this new girl.

 

I'm in the situation of where my ex gf of 9 months wont get out of my head..I thought I was completely over her and I now know its hard to live life without her.

Problem is I have a gf now :\..

I'd hold off dude honestly. You may think your gf is a total downer or drag, but you were with her for 5 years for a reason. Either take a break from dating, or get back with your ex.

You can't just end a LONG relationship and instantly find another girl. You'll end up regretting it like I did.

 

Thanks to both you guys.. I think it IS kinda like a comfort thing with my ex that i need to get out of..

 

Trust me dude. I'm having the worst fucking time right now thinking about my ex even though I have a girlfriend simply because I didn't give myself a chance to get over her. If you end up rushing into another relationship, you'll probably appreciate your old gf and remember the good times you guys did have.

Just give yourself some time bro.

 

when a long term relationship goes on and off like that.... its incredibly easy to forget about that ex.

i went through it. was with her for about 2 and 1/2 years. first year, we were fine, but after that we were on 3-6 months, off 1-2.... eventually i just got tired of this BullShit... about a month ago, she begged for me back. i told her no, i don't love her anymore. now, i'm staying single right now for the sole reason of, i'll be in college in a month and 1/2 and i want to enjoy myself...

But nothing says you can't pursue this other girl. You may be fed up with your ex's bullshit, just like i was, and you may be done forever with her. no one knows how you really feel, except you.

If it were me, i'd go after her

 

I think it's only easy depending on what terms you guys broke up on. Also what you guys broke up for.

I broke up with my ex simply because I wasn't going to see her that much anymore because of a school transfer.

 

^Well i broke up with her because she treated me pretty badly a majority of the time. and she had broken up with me alot before, which is why we were on/off..

And thanks so far guys much appreciated

 

It can be so hard getting over an ex from a past relationship, because there is so much comfort and familiarity there that can be hard to give up. But it sounds like there is alot of negativity that accompanies this past relationship as well, and that deep inside you know that.

If this new girl is attractive, smart, funny, and cute, and you are starting to have strong feelings for her, don't ignore those feelings! Letting your ex hold you back from being happy with somebody else would be a huge mistake, and something that you just can't afford at your young age.

Go for the new girl bro

 

All of this. Just don't rush into something and it ends up being like your ex.

 

I could type out an essay, but one isn't needed to voice my opinion. From my experience (and a lot of other people who are my he have probably been through the same) I'd say ditch your ex and start seeing this new girl.

 

go with the new girl. thats sum new pussy lol

 

Out with the old, in with the new.

 

^^ haha lol thats funny. but yea a new girl is ur best decision

 

Well, I think your post sums up what you have to do you were saying such nice and pleasant comments about this new girl and you didn't really say anything nice about your ex-wife which I noticed. So, for this reason, I say start a fresh with a new person, someone who you have more interests with. I know what you mean when your say you shy is cute man, new girl for sure!

 

the majority is right just start new its better
