Relationships

Relationships are tough, really tough. Especially at this age. I have just gotten out of a relationship myself, but, it actually wasn't a relationship. I had knwon this boy for four years, he was in my class since I was little, but when we both got phones and started to text...things changed. I started to notice him more, and he I. And then things changed EVEN MORE!!! He told me he liked me, and I told him I liked him; but we both were too young to be in a relationship. So us, being the teenagers we were, decided to have a secret relationship, mostly through text and secret meetings. It was A LOT of fun at first, we really enjoyed it too! It was our own little secret. But yet again, fate had to change.
When we arrived at high school, I found out some things. Like how he had kept secrets from me to who he had told about us. I wasn't really upset at first, but it did annoy me that he had told people and hadn't even told me.
Everything continued to go smoothly, but I think high school changed us. He expected me to be the same person, when I wanted to broaden my horizons, make new friends! He wanted me to be the same. I understood that a bit, I guess, he didn't want me to leave (it was both our first "relationsips").
There was always a boundry between us though...religion. I'm not the most religious person out there, but he was. And he had kept this from me for a long time.
As girls we all have those days where we can be, "grumpy" I guess, and I was having one of theose days. I didn't want to talk to anyone, and when I did I was always short with them. He knew I got like this, but he thought something was up. So that night when I left our texting conversation because he was tired, I think I made him a bit mad. I didn't mean too though! I was just, tired and moody.
So the next day we didn't text, and the day after that...well he broke up with me...through a text message. He had said how he couldn't date someone if they were a different religion, and that he should have told me this earlier. He was sorry, but he had to end our relationship.

I was furious with him of course, but now I can see where we went wrong. We had rushed into our so called relationship, with no thought about how we were too young. I should have seen it was a sign he didn't trust me when I found out he lied to me. But like I said we were just excited because it was so new to us!

I'm sorry, if I bored you with my story, but it helps me get my point across. You don't need to rush into relationships, just because a guy tells you right there and then that he likes you! If he truly does like you then he will except you can't date and will wait for you, if that's what you both want. And make sure it is what you both want! Because being in a relationship is a wonderful thing! Don't be put off by what I have said, or if your heart has been broken. Just make sure you don't hold grudges when you date the next guy. And definitely don't date out of spite or to hope you make your ex jealous. Do it for love, do it for whatever you want! It's your life, it's too short to be mad!
