Do not get attached! Sounds like your at the point where you are to attached though. She clearly is not taking it seriously, you can convince yourself otherwise but your love for her is blinding you. You need to take a step back and see whats going on and try not to think about how much you love her, you could be setting yourself up for a big emotional breakdown when she calls it off, not saying she will but it's looking like this is just a temporary thing, she's in it for sex and comfort from her break up, that's it.

You know what they say, there's plenty of fish in the sea, you may think nope there's only one "derpette" (or whatever her name is) but that's not the case, you'll find a girl prettier, better and will love you back just as much as you love her, trust me.



As other's have said, take it slowly. That's more to do with your emotional attachment, because you seem like you're in a rush to make this relationship work. The thing is, to make it work you have to give her time and space.

It's never a good thing when a girl wants to keep a relationship secret. It also doesn't matter if she broke up with him. Girls are more emotionally invested into a relationship than guys typically are. So, just because she broke up with him doesn't mean anything. She's obviously hurt, if not bitter, by the experience. I watched two friends go through exactly the same thing you did. The girl friend was cheated on by an ex, broke up with him, and then hooked up with boy friend. She kept it secret, even from me and I talked to them every day but the parents knew on both ends. They even did stuff together (made out, etc). Then she two-timed him. As a best friend to both of them, I more or less said F-You to both of them because they kept it from me. That in turn put me in the awesomely awkward spot of knowing everything she was doing with this other guy, and encouraging her in her relationship pursuits, whilst also still consoling him with a past break-up experience that he was still trying to get through.

What I'm trying to warn you about is don't be a victim of a rebound. Don't set expectations for the relationship, especially before it's really even begun. Be her friend, be creative in terms of spending time together (i.e. go to gigs, movies, lunch or dinner dates). Don't try to be romantic for the sake of being charming or romantic. If there is something you see that you think she'd appreciate, pick it up for her, but until she commits to a relationship don't be romantic for romance sake. It'll hurt your chances in the end.

Allow her to talk about her ex, but give her reason to move on from him. Her talking about him isn't good for her if she's trying to get over him. And if she insists on continuing to talk about him, especially about things she's already going over and over, then it's a good sign that she's not over him at all.

If that ends up being the case, then let her go. Just let her know you recognize that she's still very much into her ex, but that you're very much into her and you just can't be in a one-sided relationship. If there was/is anything between you two, she'll make the choice to be with you, but it may take her time to figure out what she has with you vs. him.

If you invest too much of yourself too soon, then you'll end up kicking yourself if things go horribly bad. You'll feel embarrassed, for which you shouldn't be, and you'll feel stupid, for which you were not. You just got the cart before the horse.

Guys tend to want to go fast, you need to take things slow. VERY SLOW. If you don't get your expectations too high, if you don't invest yourself too heavily into it and things do go wrong, then at best you may still have a great friend that you really adore. But if you let yourself be used, you may likely regret the whole affair in the end.



Yeah you just need to calm down and let things happen. Basic rule to be a chick magnet : always be the king of your domain.

Know that she is still in an ego fight with and probably more. Just enjoy the benefits and never attempt anything "serious". Make her have fun and enjoy yourselves.

This is how, in order to have your way, you learn to be pully instead of pushy, and even the bait didn t work you must keep your dignity (never be needy - you will only have loser type relationships like that)

Thank you for your response!  I think I'll pull back a little.  I'm always the one who ask her to go out,  I'm always willing to buy her gifts and I often do activities with her rather than with my friends.  I listen to all her problems too!  I think she takes me for granted and I don't want that.  In my opinion, you can't have sex with someone you don't love, especially if its my first time...  I won't let her have sex with me until I know her feelings, and if she wants to take it slowly, we will take it slowly in EVERY aspects!

I think I might have been blinded by love.  I'll let her make some moves, if she really loves me it shouldn't be a problem.

You should have sex if she wants it, that first bit of experience is always important, once you get it you'll want it more and more. But ya back off a bit, like you mentioned your the one that always ask her out, so see if she makes an effort to hang out with you if you all of a sudden stop asking. Your young so you have your whole life ahead of you.

Yeah, I wouldn't necessarily pass up sex. 

If she wants it, just make sure you use protection.  If the sex is a mistake, then at least you won't have something to prove it in nine months.  But again, don't let your expectations get the better of you after it.



People come here and shatter your feelings for her as if they were nothing telling you not too have hopes, not to aspire for something serious with her. If you really love her, if you really want her, before it is too late, tie her and keep her in your basement. After the second child she will understand.

At first I thought "This is not good at all".

But after thinking about it a little more, this story gives hope.

I encourage you to be positive around her, but not too too nice, and try not to let her know too easily that you're into her, it may turn her off. Then again, it may get her more into you.

I think most importantly, apart from what Micheal-5 said, is to do what Spurge said. Savor your time with her, regardless of the outcome. That's also my advice for you and I agree with him, let the rest come naturally and make a move (big or small, like saying "I love you" or showing "I love you" somehow) when you think it's the right time.

She told me that she had not said "I love you" to her ex for about 2 months into their relationship (which lasted 6 months).  I must say that her parents know about me, and they know a bit about our relationship.  She talked about me to some of her close friends.  But she doesn't seem ready to make it official even though she told me she want to have sex soon...  I'm not sure if you can call me a rebound guy, but I'd hate that!
