Me and My Best Friend

[BristolFan]

The past few days since we started dating have been great..

She has told me that she is in love with me.. this time she means it.. she really means it.. and it's different.. Whether it's true or not I don't know, but it was the first time she has been able say it to my face convingly (i didn't ask her to or anything.. she just did)

I'm very happy right now.. Seeing her every other day ish.. It's been going great..

I couldn't have done it with out you all.. Thanks again

[**Sapphire**]

Very good BristolFan, I'm happy to hear that things are going so well with you both.

I wish you both the very best of luck!

[daisychip]

LOL......I didn't even think of V-Day and that does make sense. I'm not a romantic myself so much so.....

Thats great she is giving the both of you a chance. It sounds like you have a great start and it makes me feel good that you are happy Bristol. When you first came it didn't look promising but it's worked out positively and I'm happy for you.

[BristolFan]

Yeah.. She has said alot the biggest mistake she has ever made was not giving us a chance years ago.. And that she wishes she has done..

But that's not important to me.. I know it's only been about 5 weeks of us being this way but.. We're more serious than most couples, we already know all about eachother, we already had everything there needed. The only thing missing was the passion i guess.. there was nothing with us as more than friends, other than on texts/internet and such.. Now we've tried more.. Well.. It's just everything.. more than I could've imagined..

Things are great between us.. And I am very happy

thanks alot.. for everything

[BristolFan]

Time for an update?

Tomorow it'll be 2 weeks since we became a couple and 6 weeks since we started dating, and 10 weeks on saturday since we everything started really (our first kiss, sex, etc.)

Things have been amazing.. She's perfect for me (as I always thought)

It's perfect.. Amazing.. And I'm not only happy for the first time in my life, but I'm the happiest possible..

We've been spending lots of time together, and have lots of days out

We've also started our own little book, days out and things, photos and stuff in, like a scrap/memory book..
Our first lottery ticket and things :P

Even old cards/letters from a few years ago that I've always kept

i know that probably sounds weird/cheesey.. I know I'd have the mic taken out of me by all my mates if they knew (i don't care if they do find out though)

Anyway yeah, just to let you all know, things are great.. We're both very happy together..

[MickeyDeanEveryone]

That's great to hear, congrats!

[BristolFan]

Thanks..

Forgot to say that aswel..

Thankyou to everyone here, and everyone who has got this place up and help kept and running..
I'm not sure I'd be where I am now without this place

So thankyou.. really..

Very good Bristol, I'm glad to hear that things are going so well for you both.

I'm glad that you decided to sign on here, to talk to us about your problem & that you also come back to help others. It's members like you that have made ATLF the way it is today.

2 years ago, she went on holiday, but i was missing her like hell.. we spoke alot.. but we had stopped anyway because she had a bf (a guy i hated) and we'd had a huge fall out over it all..

Last year, i missed her like hell, but we'd only been talking again for 2 weeks after like 6 months of not talking.. and those 2 weeks we didn't speak a huge deal

Now we're together, always talking again, always seeing eachother.. And she's going to florida for two weeks (meaning i can't really text her or anything much)

Gonna be hard speak to her and i won't see her

Going to miss her like hell..

It's what gets me through college atm, knowing i'll see her that night or the next day..

Gonna be so hard be motivated get up and go each day (i hate it)

And I'll just miss her so much

Bar this.. Everything else is pretty much perfect.. our relationship anyway.. a few things with me aren't so great, which kinda involve her, but that's a longer story i think.. Will post later though, more to vent than ask for advice.. well not vent.. hmm yeah nevermind for now lol

[**Sapphire**]

Bristol, you have all of us here to vent/talk to while your girlfriend is away for 2 weeks.

I know it sounds like a long time, but it really isn't & if you keep yourself busy it will go by in the blink of an eye. Keep yourself busy with school work, hanging out with your friends & of course there is here to keep yourself busy as well. Something that will help to keep your mind occupied & to make the time go by faster. If you just sit & think about her, miss her, get yourself all depressed, the time will drag on & you will be a wreak for when she comes back.

[MickeyDeanEveryone]

You should definitely take these two weeks and go out with the boys as much as possible and drink some brew, go camping, play sports and do all the other guy things to do
And as much as it sucks, alone time is always good for you every so often. Every once in a while I dedicate a whole day to not hang out with anyone at all and just create art. The peace and quite is always very relaxing and clears my mind so I can think .

[BristolFan]

At college I had plenty of mates too, even though most people I knew from school went a different one, but i'm 'mates' with so many at college too..

The thing is, they're just 'mates'. I don't talk to them much, not close with any. And because I hate college I haven't really spent time with any.
I don't want to and use them just because she's away

But that's not really the problem, it's more my thoughts when I don't see her alot.. I'll explain later when I have more time..
It's nothing I really need advice on, I know what you guys will say and I'm doing that (or trying to already)

but a vent is always good :P

Will post about it later when I get time I guess.. It's not too much of a deal right now (but i've seen her alot past few days so...)

[**Sapphire**]

Well Bristol, whenever you are ready, vent away, we are all here for you.

[BristolFan]

I'm fine about it now.. I think.. Maybe while she's away it'll be more of a problem
But i've been fine recently

She's just left my house, not seeing her now for almost 3 weeks.. I miss her already

Thing is, we've been talking every day, every morning from 7am, all through the day till she goes to sleep around 10pm..
Litterally all day, over texts, phone, email, msn, facebook (depending on where we are/what we're doing) but it's all the time

Going to be so hard

I know what you'll all say, it'll fly, try to occupy myself, do other things, spend time with others, be around here
i'll make sure to do all that..

It was so hard letting her go though..

[**Sapphire**]

Yeah I know it's hard to let go when a loved 1 is going away for a bit. The time will go by fast though.

Can you at least text her or if she can get on a computer email or Facebook?

[BristolFan]

She won't be able get on the internet much I don't think.. Unless she has wi-fi in the hotel, as she could use her ipod then..

Text.. It's going to be hard.. It's 50p a text for her to send, she doesn't want to go over on her contract much, so we've got some pay as you go sims, but that'll still only allow her to send 2/3 a day (most of our texts are 2/3 pages long :|)

I'm actually in EXACTLY the same situation, but its the other way around for us, i'm ready to commit to him, in fact i am committed to him already whether were together or not and he's just not ready too. Which I do understand, we are still young and have a lot ahead of us but i'm just so in love with him, its not fair to bring another guy in the picture when i know hes my soulmate, i just can't bring myself to do it. noone makes me feel the way he does or makes me happier then he does. its so complicated...

Welcome back babylove, when you get a chance, let us know how you're doing.

Is this the same guy, the musician?

[babylove621]

lol yes it is, i'm doing pretty good though, i'll post more about it when i have more time

[gimmeabreak]

Congratulations! I had a feeling from reading the first post that things were going in this direction. Things always have a way of working out. When something ends, something new begins. You sir, are quite lucky. Now you have a romantic relationship based on a 3 year friendship. So many people go through life marrying someone they don't really love or looking for what you just got. Congrats, at this point you really don't have anything to worry about. Enjoy it!

[brianacarol]

u should clearly ask from her that she loves u or not if she says yes then you should get marry with her.
