Here's a tip... You are never "just friends" afterwards... In fact, most people are hardly ever civil. What you should do to... help the grieving process is burn her in effigy and avoid her at all costs. Not only that, tell all your friends how horrible she is.

Yeah, the thing is... A lot of emotions have to be worked out before you can ever be friends again without sharing a deeper bond. You can't just step back. The mind and heart don't work that way.

Seriously, even though guys often gloss over some of this crap, the mind and emotions are fragile and intricate; Even in guys who act tough. | Exactly why going the "friends" route is a bad idea, at least right now. Being friends with guys is a bit easier. Sure, maybe they'll have a nagging shrew girlfriend, but if they do, chances are you won't be bothered by it too much, heck, it'll give you something to rib him a bit about. Now when your ex gf who's now a "friend" meets someone you absolutly despise, you get to think about what they've got that you didn't, and if you're really a friend, it'll bug the heck out of you to keep quiet if the guy's a jerk.If you're careful with guys, you can tell them their old lady is a royal pain. Tell a girl that their guy is a jerk and expect her bf to hear about it, and think you want to get back with her. Guy's she's with in the future, even ones you don't mind, may very well have a problem with you hanging around still. Just wait until this is far enough behind you if you want to be friends. Going from a 4 year relationship to friends wuill be weird, for both of you and anyone else you have a relationship with. Besides, if you stick around and she decides to use you as an emotional crutch, she'll be able to get that from you and be free for all the jerkwad guys,one-night stands and all that good stuff as long as she's got a guy to give her emotional backing. And if that would be tough on you, forget it. Get some space from her, NOW.

I am sure that most of us are shallow enough and prefer beuty over personality.
One case where being freinds work(not perfectly though)
You meet a pretty girl with a good personality, she's not shallow and is nice to be around with.
Most girls that are pretty have dumb points of views a selfish mind and can't stand being around you and your freinds, while your being yourselves.

Being attracted to good looking people is fine. Allowing it to consume and control your mind, while typically American, is mindless, pointless, and fruitless.

Alright, three things have helped me not really care:
- Sub-standard intelligence...I'm not going to lie to you
- Very shallow personality; if you're hot, we can be friends
- Something else I had on my mind, can't think of it right now, I'll post later
That's about it.
I don't understand the shallow comment? At first it was funny because shallow is often associated with water, but if I were any more shallow...how would I drowned?
Anyway...friends, parties, dip, and beer can help (no joke, I'm not making light of it, it helps!)
This is why I want to dump the girl I'm with because at some point, it will happen (more than likely) and it will hurt less if I do the dumping and hurt both of us less if we aren't too close.

Hey guys, thanks for the concern and sentement. Sandman, you're really cool about this.
Well, I've spent the last 5 hours or so with her, talking things over. Turns out she does still have alot of love for me, but it turned out that she thought she was focusing too much of her time around me. All the other stuff was more of a side note. We talked alot and worked things out more or less. She's going to spend less time with me, and more time with her friends and stuff. (which is fine, I never wanted her to focus entirely on me)
I donno though, I really want this to work out. Lets just hope she doesn't have another change of heart.

one thing is fr sure, if you go back with her, and she has another
change of heart, you need to drop her like a sack of wet dirt. Or mud.
Whatever you prefer.
At least you had a girlfriend. Plenti isn't exactly popular with the ladies.

If I were you, I would get out now. You are already growing apart and the gap is just going to get bigger. If she was ready to call it quits already she is going to do it again.
I am calling that from this point on she is now using you because you are to attached to her. If you stay in this prepare for more hurt.
Not to add suspision in your head, but what do you suppose she and her friends are going to do while they hang out?
Find her a new boyfriend.
What can I say, Love Hurts.

Hang out with your closest buddies for a long while, if at all possible (I'm talking a couple of hours a day here, not a couple of hours a week) -- it helps out a lot. Do something that involves (helping) other people if at all possible. Also, do things that'll keep your mind off of her: Sports, if you're into that sort of thing; computer games; exercise; school.
Things are going to be weird between you and her for a long period of time -- that's normal. And you're probably going to think about her a lot during this period of time -- that's normal too. And you'll probably even think that there's a slight chance that you guys will get back together -- this is normal as well. And though what we say or do may not alter your opinion on this matter, you should really not try to hang on to her or any sort hope that you can salvage the relationship. Separate yourself from her until you, yourself feel stable and comfortable. She's already let you go and now it's your turn to let her go.
You'll hear it a million times from a million faces: "Move on. There's other fish in the sea." And you won't want to -- because it hurts to think that something that was once so close is now gone; you'll think that you will never find somebody as good as her. Time will heal these wounds, however, I promise, so be patient while it works its magic. In a few weeks/months you'll get over the whole situation. Until then, however, try to keep your mind occupied with other things, as mentioned above. I'm sure a lot of us have experienced this matter before, some more affected than others. So we know what you're going through. If you need to vent/talk about something we are (Or at the very least, I am) here to listen.
Keep that chin up, boy. You'll find another.
Out.

Thanks guys. I understand all of you telling me to bail, and in any other situation, I probably would. But after 4 years of dating the girl, I'm not gonna drop her in a flash. If things can work out, I'll be happier for it. But if anything does come up again, well, then I'll eject.

Don't worry about it too much guys. I kinda of expected alot of those. Seeing how the average age is this forum is around 15, most people here haven't even been in a relationship.

Oh yeah, if you don't have your own life the whole thing's jacked from the start. Your love life cannot dominate your other, non-romantic personal relationships. If it does, there's something wrong.
Trust me. I know all too well where you're coming from.

Like I said, no matter what we tell him, he's going to have that slight sliver of hope that they'll get back together. And there's nothing we can do about it other than wait. Heck, I've been in that mental state before.
Chances are if she broke up with you bro, you guys aren't going to get back together -- unless you guys broke up due to some serious freak accident. Like I said in my previous post, and SandMan in his, you don't want this situation dominating your life. It hurts, we all know that, but hanging on to her will only put you through more unnecessary heartache and pain. Move on. If by some chance down the road you guys do happen to get back together, great. But for the time being just try not to think about it. It's only going to make it worse for you.
I feel, however, that what we say will simply fall upon deaf ears. Not because you are ignorant/naive/selfish by any means -- it has nothing to do with you at all. It's just the way the heart is.

At the same time, though, all relationships have their hickups. I'd say, hold on if you can but keep your wits about you.
The courage to perservere is every bit as important as the courage to walk away; And it's very difficult to tell which is most appropriate in any given situation.
