I say now in days, All girls are the same. No girl has proved me wrong, now most girls complain about "Omg all i end up talking to are Assholes who only want 1 thing", and how they supposedly attract them. But they try to cover it up, when it's really her chasing the Asshole guy. And, what you chase is what you get.
This is pretty common, particularly with younger girls, for a number of reasons. Sometimes it's just because they're attracted to jerk guys because jerks tend to give of alpha-male vibes, but they know society wants them to go for the nice guy, so they say they keep getting disappointed.
Sometimes it's because he's a jerk to everyone except her (in her mind, at least), so it means she's special, right?
Quite often it's because there's only one alternative to the jerks; the boring, foppish teenage boy who is awkward, sometimes annoying, and generally just insipidly boring.
Guys are not exempt from this one-sided choosing; teenage girls tend to fall into two categories too, and boys tend to go for one of them. Girls can either be bossy/aloof/bitchy, or they can be girls who are "broken" or do the whole waifish victim thing. Those are usually just boring, passive-aggressive morons with no personality, who can't get any attention from being awesome so they get it from having mild crises or looking like they're about to cry. Boys project all over them in exactly the same way teenage girls project all over the silent, broody mysterious types when they're really just antisocial and boring jerks.
Long story short: teenagers are fucking dumb.
My first true love played me 4 times. I kept falling to her same story's, i was basically walking blind when it came to her. She kept giving me hopes, i fell for them. When she got she wanted "Getting back with her EX" she putt me aside, and then a shitload of drama started coming around. It's just crazy, i look back. And i learned so much!! in just a few weeks. Of me stressing, not knowing what to do. Not being able to move on, Because you know that's your first true love. And your not gonna give up on it.
This is exactly what I was like with my ex-girlfriend. It's quite a common thing, and now when I look back on Katie, I cannot for the life of me work out why I was interested in her in the first place (I suspect it was because I knew her several-years older sister, who is a very nice person, and because she was the first girl who complimented me). I can't believe I couldn't see all the stuff I know now. She's not even my type! Essentially the opposite! (I like petite and friendly girls with red or dark hair; she was blonde, big, and boisterous).
So when me and my first true love, we're basically done. Her best friend started hitting me up, texting me, Myspace etc. And i was just there, and we had that bond, we talked forever. So 1 day she tells me to pass through her job, and i decided to go and chill with her. Soo we're there in her job, chilling talking having a good time, and when her brake was over. I was gonna walk away and not give her a kiss in the cheek, just to get her mad. And she kinda yells at me, "Aren't you forgetting something" And i answered "Am i?!?"...I was nervous, because i knew that was the right time to make my move. So i slowly approached her, and we're facing each other face to face..but i guess she was nervous also. She couldn't look at me straight in the face. Soo when i asked her "What was i forgetting" She gave me the most random kiss i ever got from any girl. And that's when i asked her out.
3 days after we started dating. It turns out, her best friend "My first true love". Started spreading rumors about her around the School. She was hating hard as hell on her relationship with me. I couldn't, watching her get putt in a hole. When its all because of me all the shit was happening. So 2 days after i just couldn't take the "People talking shit, this and that" And i told her, we needed to end it. We kinda rushed into the relationship. I got love for you, but that isn't gonna cut it.
I felt bad!!. But i really cared for her, she was a Senior. And i didn't want her to be in stress in her most important year. She understood after a few days, she moved on. I moved on.
This is a pretty big thing you did, and I don't think you should regret ending the relationship with all the rumours flying around if it was stressing you out. One can't have a healthy relationship when it feels like noone else takes it seriously.
