Getting Over A Guy You Were Never With Is Sometimes Harder Than Getting Over A Boyfriend

I'm not the type of girl that needs to have a boyfriend. I've only had one real boyfriend in my 21 years of life. I am always amazed by girls that have a boyfriend constantly. Maybe I protect my heart too much, but I think I'm doing pretty good. I'm also a picky girl that knows what she wants. That being said, I have "talked" to guys in my 21 years or whatever the new term is. I think getting over a guy you never actually dated can be harder than getting over a boyfriend.

Two guys I have talked to, but not dated have hurt me. Other guys, no offense, I got over really quickly. One guy hurt really bad because he was my best friend first. That's a whole other topic. Our timing just wasn't right, I guess. I wanted to make it work and had become comfortable with the idea of dating him. Before I knew it, he wasn't ready to date or some other stupid excuse and now has a girlfriend. It wasn't immediately after our "thing" ended, but it was pretty quick. That freaking sucks. Like a lot. I wanted to be happy for him because he was my best friend and more than anything I wanted him to be happy. So I pulled myself up and pretended like it didn't hurt me. It was easy to feel this way while we were both at school, but being home and seeing him around sucks. I am happy that he is happy and I guess that is what is most important in this situation.

The other guy that hurt me hurt less than the other guy because we weren't best friends first. He just plain screwed me over. Told me he wanted all this crap with me and spoke of the future blah blah blah. I never fall for that bs when guys say it, but he made me believe. Nice finessing on his part. I even drove 5 hours to see him. What a waste of gas smh. Right after that he "wasn't ready and so stressed" etc. Other bs excuses. Guys, at least are more creative when breaking a heart. I did have a lot of fun with him and felt a connection, especially with his dog, but I guess it wasn't mutual. That's okay though. Just wasn't meant to be.

Though both of these guys who I didn't dare hurt me, I don't regret being with either of them. I cherish the good times we had. They both made me happy and we had a lot of fun. Though them breaking my heart hurt like hell (still stings a little) I was able to learn a lot about guys and myself. Letting my guard down is really hard for me so I hope those guys appreciated that at least.

I know I'm a great girl and it's okay that these guys didn't work out. God has my guy picked out already and when I find him these guys will be just mere stepping stones.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
