So you just wanted to vent?
You didn't ask for any advice or anything.
As a man you have to stand by your decision as much as possible. I think everyone has made the mistake of breaking things off and then taking acting in the state of "regret" which only reaffirms to a girl that she is prized over you, causing her to pull away from you. You've placed her in a superior position. She could of been crying over you just before that but is now responding to the new dynamic you set.
However, this sounds like it was a recipe for disaster anyway. These types of situations can be repaired, I've done it in the past, but you must remain calm, remember who you were before all of this, and be fully willing to walk away - one foot must already been out the door basically.
For now, you already know what to do.. You have to cool it. I know the child hood thing makes this out to be some fairy tale, but a fairy tale story doesn't change the rules of attraction. All of those details are fun and cool, but mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. It all boils down to the same thing no matter what the story is.
Stay strong bro. And leave her alone.
I didn't come here to vent. I came here with the wish that another man or men would help. Would say something to help me through this. To say what I needed to hear. I logged in and read both posts and it's exactly what I needed to hear.
I thank you in sincerity. I'll keep it cool. I gotta find myself again.
And thanks for not being a dick in responding. It IS possible to teach someone something without berating them, like I see many times. Cool shit.
