I'm betting, by the short length of your relationship, that you are very young. You must understand that you are not grown-up enough to know that a relationship that is worth is takes years to build. It needs a strong foundation, built on understanding, patience, and even some hardships. Relationships that are rock steady are meaningful and powerful. You have to be on an intense, intimate level in all areas of life(sex, finances, life experiences), and you can't force your hand on your spouse/lover to be on the same level as you. Sometimes you have to learn and grow to be at a level where you can attract someone who is, firstly, more interested in your mind and what you think before anything else. Be protective of your personality up to a point; where as there are always going to be things that you learn as you get older, even in your 20's you'll learn things and wonder why you didn't know about them two or three years ago. Genuine personality takes time, and needs to age like a fine wine. The reasoning behind your fathers' advice is a simplified version of what I've just told you. Unfortunately for you, you DO need to grow up and learn before you'll understand. Do yourself a favor and take my advice. Most women, especially those who are younger, won't. They'll find anyone who glances in their direction and take with them easily, forgetting that they are mostly interested in sex until they're bored with you. Be interested in yourself and take pride in who you will, someday, grow up to be. This is why college is important, not really for the classes you take or the degree you hold, but for the experiences that you learn about yourself. Believe me when I say that you have yet to grasp your true potential. Grow up, and learn.

my dad tells me the exact same thing!!

there is a pill for that

if you're feeling that depressed over a breakup, then you should probably go to therapy. it's not healthy.

he is right quit being an idiot it was 3 months not the end of the world

pops is right!

... I think everyone's being a bit too harsh on her. I mean, c'mon, you guys don't know the full story and I do know ppl who have bonded very strongly over a month, not to mention three. so everyone, cut her some slack and show some sympathy. Her dad might be telling the truth but it was in a very harsh way after she had /confided/ in him. how would you like it if you were going through a hard time and decided to ask someone for advice and they just gave u a harsh one-liner? OP, I hope you come over it soon ^^

win! i love your dad. :) fyl for expecting him to be a sap.

ur dad is right

I agree with your dad... breaking up is not the end of your life, just the end of him in it!! You need to realize that this is a chance for you to go out and have some great adventures!! Forget about him.. he is not worth mourning over and wasting so much of your precious time crying over him!!!!!
