Reply #33: She called me to break up with me... [View All]

[Chan790]

over the phone, timed so I would get the call within an hour of getting home from driving 1/2 the length of the U.S. eastern seaboard to see her. I was upset at the time mostly because I was dead tired.

What's funny is that I found out later that it was because I was too serious about her and it freaked her out. I wasn't that serious about her...her best friend, our only mutual friend who was really close to both of us, was telling each of us what she thought we wanted to hear. The best friend is super-clingy and runs guys off by the 1000's...usually by saying "I love you" on third and fourth dates, calling 5 times a day every day, and not taking no for an answer. You can imagine what she was telling each of us.

Lesson learned: LDRs do not work. They especially don't work if your mutual friends are the sort of people who find stalkers endearing and romantic.
