I need some advice and it involves a woman. Last time I came to Europe I fell madly in love (or madly infatuated) with this girl, or as some of my friends call her - bitch ass ho. I am so upset because I have been trying to get over her like for almost a year!
It should not be this hard to get over a girl. Yes I think she is perfect and she embodies what I look for in a woman, but what can I do to forget her? I live in Tallahassee and she in Milan and she has told me she is not interested in sustaining a relationship with me.
Help please!

LMAO @ I live in Tallahassee and she lives in Milan. Oh man thats just funny, thats like, yea I live in Cheyenne, Wyoming and she lives in Strasbourg!
But seriously, any woman that has her head on straight (Yes I know thats an oxymoron) knows that a relationship like that wont work. Dude your between the ages of 16-20, how do you fall in love with a girl from Europe that quick?
Oh wait here again im wrong. I made the mistake of dating an American girl once, ONLY thing I ever regret trying in my life.

There is NOTHING you can do..Except live your life as best you can going forward.. I was DESPERATELY in love with another girl (namely for her physical attributes) and I still think about her from time to time... but as I have a connection to know what's she's up to, I have learned that her life (though professionaly sucessful), is a very sad, empty, and materialistc. If I had stayed with her, I NEVER would have had any children and knowing what I know about my love for my kids, that truly would have been a tragedy.

You think someone you had known for maybe a WEEK is perfect?
My advice:
1) Grow up
2) Occupy yourself another way...thinking about something like that all the time is unhealthy at best
And that "love at first sight" nonsense is a bunch of hooey.

Let it go, it's just a crush. At the age of 16-20 that sort of thing happens to everyone (don't try telling me it's different to everyone else, that's what makes it a crush).

Gotta agree with the rest of the guys here.
Just forget her. It wont work. Especially since she doesn't want anything to do with you.
I tried a long relationship once when I moved to Switzerland from Denmark. My ex wanted to stay in Denmark because she wanted to finish her studies. And we were together for 1 month after that. And then we broke up. So it wont work. Trust me.

well, as soon as you get out with your buddies and hook up with a nice sex crazy chick you´ll be fine.
Until that, keep up the masturbation work, it´s always a nice way to remember good times and situations, and a stress relief tool.

if you were a hot chick living in Milan would you give two craps about someone who lives in Tallahassee??
also, i love the title of this. "A Man's Test in Life is a Woman"
oh, how naive you are!
1. try passing a kidney stone
2. or sitting through The Vagina Monologues
3. or go to a Gloria Steinem speech and talk to everyone there about your infatuation over a foreign woman for her looks

Ok here ya go. I have expreience here. It wasn't quite another country but it was Flint, Michigan(well Columbiaville actually but that's the closest city) so that almost counts. Here's the low down. We stayed together for almost three years. There's a reason that I know exactly what time that NWA flights leave to Detroit from Tampa and why I have been on almost all the DC-9s and have 8 billion WorldPerks miles. It was great...she was beautiful, we had tons in common, talked every day, made time to see each other every other month. The sex was great too, just as an aside...lol. However, it didn't work out, and I was on the bad end of the stick. Totally devestated. Took me about 6 months and a lot of beer to come out of my shell. Then I realized that I only had 8 months left in college and it was time to make the best of it. So, I went out, partied my ass off, hooked up with random coeds, went on a cruise, and basically said f*ck it.
Just get past it my friend, from Nole to Nole. There are way too many incredibly hot, sexy, and "willing to learn" women up there. Just go have fun and let loose. Score one coed and your pain will go away.

Bro, I had kidney stones when I was 16. It is the only time I have ever wanted to chop my penis off.
Secondly, I know I should get over her and Im working on it.

Dawg, I knew her for like 1.5 months going to school together. So...
Thanks for the posts, keep them coming!

Possibly the worst mistake you can make. No one is perfect. It sounds to me that your are "in love" with the idea of a perfect woman, and think she fits the bill. She doesn't. She never will.
There's this saying that goes: Love at distance...Happier the 4. LOL
Quoting Erikwilliam (Reply 14): MIA: I thought better on your case over lunch, you definitely needs to have casual sex, ASAP
LOL, he sure does
Quoting Mia (Reply 15):

Ouch! Good your over it.
Anyway MIA, I suggest you not to keep on with that. Try not looking for someone else in the meanwhile cuz otherwise you'll only be using her to forget Mrs. Milan. And it's not fair for the other lady. So try having time for yourself until you feel OK with yourself and then you'll see how you'll forget Mrs. Milan. Time cures everything, it's hard but you have to be patient. It'll work.
How do you know she's thinking of you such as you doing with her?

You need to drive to Daytona during spring break, get drunk, and find yourself a meaningful one night relationship. The only thing that will get you over a woman is meaningless sex with another.

or it could be the fact that he simply didn't want to get married. why is it such a big deal. no one -has- to get married in order to be a great person. i think can think of quite a few people who have contributed more to inspiring people and doing good things than you could ever hope to dream of, and these people have never been married and never will.

Lemme tell you all something.. there are two 'people' at best who can judge you effectively when you die. 1) Your god if you believe in that sort of thng, and 2)Yourself
Is it nice if others think highly of you when your dead, yes, but guess what??? You aren't going to be paying much attention at your funeral....

Mia, if you want this woman, don't waste your time asking other men, take it from a woman, you can have her should she be free of other engagements. All you need is basic psychology, and the drive to apply it tactfully. With sufficient determination (presupposing you meet the standard prerequisites (more on that below)) you can have her, or any woman worth having.
The key is in ascertaining her emotional needs. People are their feelings, even if they put up a facade of indifference or strength. If you truly listen to what she says when she speaks you can eventually determine what her psychological needs are - and, with effort, by meeting them, you will naturally become her most preferred companion, and thereafter lover, unless someone beats you to it.
Granted, you must be of at least moderate levels of attractiveness. If you know you are severely overweight, missing a limb, or unkempt, you may reduce your chances, and wish to modify and raise your level of general attractiveness before launching the pursuit. Try to be, among men, at her level of attraction among women, and higher if you can manage it. Recollect the men she found physically appealing (maybe it was you, maybe it was not) and try to emulate in appearance what you remember. Naturally don't exactly duplicate anyone, but it can only increase your chances.
Talk with her over the phone and actually, speak as infrequently as you can. Most women love to have a confidant, and if you ask and earnestly listen you will 1.) go down as a trusted friend and 2.) pick up valuable information about her thoughts, concerns, etc., which will enable you to detect what she is most needing - what would make you the perfect, irresistible complement to her life.
When you know her like the back of your hand, take time off of work and go see her. If she likes surprises, drop in unexpectedly. If she loves roses, make sure you have them ready. Invite her to her favorite restaurant. Get her tickets to her favorite show. And most importantly...
When you look at her, be silent initially. Women are FASCINATED by silent men. The more you can refrain from speaking (but still retain plenty of eye contact and intimacy) the more she will inadvertently ascribe to you all the thoughts she wished you were thinking. When you do open your mouth, carefully aim your comments to the core of her psychological needs.
For example, if she is the kind that looks for safety, family, security, comfort - a traditional woman - you should mention your promotion, your love of children and recent job you got volunteering around kids (don't lie though, it will come back to bite you in the ass if you do this poorly) and just generally exude the image of a provider and protector. If she is the kind who longs for romance but also wants excitement and is more wild - match her image, show spunk and pizzaz and take her out dancing or motorcycling or whatever it is that she always dreamed of doing.
Most of all, if you are serious about this girl, and it is the distance keeping the two of you apart, after you go see her be willing to make a compromise - either you or her - to a place where mutually you can thrive.
Remember, with enough effort, skill, and planning - and most of all earnest desire - anything can be had.
Good luck.
