So my girlfriend broke up with me about a week and a half ago. How old are you? How old is she? I'm 18. She's 17. And how long were you quote dating her? Whatever that means. We were dating for a month. And well, we've known each other for about a year now. And we were talking throughout the majority of the year. And then we started dating. Right. I did not think there were any problems. You know, it was going well, I'd say. And then on a random Sunday, she calls me. She's like, this isn't working for me. And I asked her what was not working. And she gave me like a few little things. You know, she has a bunch of stuff going on. She doesn't see it going down the road. And I asked her if she didn't have all this stuff going on, which she still liked to date me. And she said, yes. So that's what really confused me. We then, she broke up with me. And later on, I was still confused. So I texted her. I was like, hey, I'm still confused about what's going on. You know, I wouldn't see if it's possible. We could figure things out and continue. And maybe caller meet up about it. And she said that she wasn't opposed to calling up about it again and discussing a few things. But she just wanted some time and space. So I was like, OK, that's fine. And she was in a musical. So that musical just ended this last weekend. So I was like, OK, things are ramping down. And she's going to be free to talk again. So yesterday, I shot her text. I was like, hey, how are things going? Just wondering if we could meet up, sit down, and talk about this. And then I didn't hear anything. So I then called her today to see if she was had blocked me or anything like that. She didn't it rang. So then I was like, OK, after the week that I had, I'm ready to be done with this. So I texted her dad because she still has a couple of things in mind that I would like back. So I texted her dad as like, hey, I don't know what's going on. I haven't heard anything. She still has a couple of my things that I would like back. If you still want to have a conversation with me about what happened, that's fine. If not, then I just want my things back. And she texted me, I'm not having her time. I didn't have my phone on me. And she said that she doesn't have the time to call her meet up. And she doesn't have money now. OK, Jonah. Jonah. Yes. OK, I'm going to tell you what happened. Ready to absorb it, to understand it, and to accept it. Are you ready? I am. She says 17-year-old girl. Yep. That's what happened.

Neither one of you is in the mindset to really deepen a relationship, determine whether or not this is a compatible match for the next 40 years and three kids. At this age, it's whim and mood and other things, other opportunities, other guys, other gals. At this age, the expectation that you have is for a man in his 30s. You're a little ahead of your time. Everything you said I listened to had maturity attached to it. She's a 17-year-old girl. She didn't know how else to say. I'm just, I don't want to do this anymore. Doesn't mean you're bad, ugly, stupid, or anything horrible. This is probably going to happen to you eight more times before you go, you know what? I'm going to wait for a woman and not a girl. I had a man working for me in a prior radio station situation. And he kept coming to me again and again with this girl and that girl and the other girl. And finally, I actually got in his face because I got tired of being thoughtful and compassionate and listening to the BS. I said, look, you keep going for gorgeous girls. Find yourself a woman. Now, when he got married, I was invited to the wedding and he stood up and said that whole situation, that he realized for his ego he was going for girls. Filled up to us, big boobs, sexy, and then he found himself a woman. Now, this woman happened to be beautiful, but she was definitely a woman and not a girl. So, girls are the stage you're at. You're going to have to be patient. So, go get your stuff, stop trying to make a connection. Be nice when you see her around school. She's a 17-year-old girl and in 10 years you're not even going to remember her. Okay. Thank you. So, you have a maturity up and beyond, which is a problem for you now at your age because the girls are girls. Make sense? Yeah, it does. So, don't cry over her. Get your stuff. Definitely, just go get your stuff. What do you want to talk about? Whatever you want to talk about. Give me a call at 1-800-375-2872.
