Well it appears that TheLady and I have come to an end. It is a little sad but I suppose about as good as a breakup can be. It wasn't that either of us did anything horrible to the other, or that we just grew tired of each other. I think it was that we liked each other a little too much.
I met TheLady about 3 months ago on a semi-blind date. She and I immediately hit it off and it was very nice. Things moved pretty fast from there. I actually met her parents only about 3 weeks later and things were going just swimmingly. The big problem in our relationship was looming right ahead, however. I am going to study abroad in Rome this summer and then she is studying abroad in Europe first semester next year. So right in the beginning of things we would have to face about 7 months of not seeing each other, not ideal for keeping things together.
ultimately that tainted our connection. Neither of us really wanted to get too close because we knew that soon enough we would have to leave each other and it wouldn't be fun. Further handicapping our romance was the fact that, at 19, she wasn't really ready to have too serious a relationship with anyone. Add into that the fact that we are both extremely busy with school and I guess we were kinda doomed from the start.
Although I will miss her there are some benefits to being single again. I can start going out more often with my friends again (which might be a drawback... I won't be able to use her as an excuse when I am feeling too tired to go out). I will still get to see her every now and again, but it won't be the same. Hopefully when we both get back into Minneapolis for good we will be changed enough to be ready for a commitment, but the same enough that we don't lose whatever we had this first time around.
Sorry to hear that - she doesn't know what she's missing.
