I've "met" the perfect woman (for me).

Here's my relationship story-slash-question.

My gf of three years broke up with me about a month ago. I guess we just weren't making each other happy. Now, at the time I didn't understand why, but I know now how the whole thing works. See, you can't make someone else happy unless you're happy yourself. I wasn't happy, she wasn't happy... and thus our relationship was unhappy.

Our parting was... not amicable, but not unamicable either. We basically decided that it needed to be... gah, can't think of the term. Basically, we don't talk to each other or anything. I ended up visiting some friends in Binghamton and we went to a bar... and she was there with her friends. I'm not the type to make a scene, I would have been perfectly content to just let it be... she has a good time with her friends, me with mine. Her best friend then came up to us and asked us to leave. Needless to say I was a bit aggravated and very much disappointed, as I didn't think her or her friends would be so puerile about it.

So my question is this... how can you not want to see someone at all one day, and miss them completely the next? Stupid emotions... :(

Well, I just called it off with Kathy, she took it hard. I tried to ease it as much as possible. The same thing happened to me, and the women that did it to me was not kind to me when she let me go, i know not to do that.
As someone who's been dumped in some pretty nasty ways, let me say thank you for being nice about it. I'm sure she'll be fine, as a result. It takes a lot of character to be direct about it, and actually try not to hurt the other person's feelings.

I met my girlfriend 7 years ago...playing X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter. We've been friends for a long time, and finally met for the first time two years ago. She's from Wales so it makes communication interesting, but we talk on the phone and such a lot.

And best of all, she's flying in on SUNDAY(the 2nd of May, day after my B-day). The whole Atlantic Ocean being dropped where it is makes things annoyingly complicated, but after she comes here, she isn't leaving alone. The 1st of July, I'm moving out to Wales. Wanted to move to Britain anyway, now I've got an excuse. ;)

Your birthday and my husbands birthday are the same day!!
You were both May day babies!
YAY! :) :p

The "perfect" woman for you is not neccessarily the one who meets your expectations. And nobody's perfect.

The Perfect Woman for me cares nothing for gaming; she is moderate liberal to my conservative; she is more a doer than an academic; she has the fire of a redhead but beautiful auburn locks; and we can get into some of the nastiest knock-down verbal drag-outs under the sun. She even knows more swear-words than me.

And I thank God for her love, compassion, and her devotion to me every day. :) She doesn't care about gaming, but encourages my chances to do so. She dislikes most of my music, but she surprises me with CD's every now and again. Even during an argument, she'll pack my lunch for work the next day.

When I was twenty, my perfect girl mentally was blond, slender with soft eyes, was very caring, and very soft-spoken. Funny how you don't know love until it gets here. :)

Art, good luck with love on all fronts. I second Umbran's suggestion - enjoy each other's company, and enjoy your time together, and burn the bridges of marriage, children, and "forever after" when they get here.

That is, she's mostly like me? :D

(Except for the 'woman' and 'cares nothing for gaming' parts, as well as a few others.)
