I was lurking on a dating advice board and saw something that I can never understand. There are several women who are getting married. In theory that sounds ok until I read more of the threads.
Woman #1 is 20, broke up with her long time boyfriend last May. Since then she met a new guy and is marrying him next year. Even as late as June or July she was still crying over the ex.
Woman #2 met her fiance on the board. She is 22, he is 26 and they are in a long distance relationship. Both of them I think broke up with their exes sometime last year, started talking in January, are long distance (she's in the USA and he's in England) and are now engaged. They have only seen each other a few times and see once every four months. I think they've only spent 3 times together.
This sends warning signs on many levels and reminds me of myself at that age. I met what I thought was the perfect guy when I was 18. Until I was about 20 we were in a long distance relationship. Long story short I realized he was a poor choice and I am glad I didn't marry him (he asked me). When I was that age until around 30 I was immature. If I had married that young I'd be divorced now. Incidentally I still sometimes talk to this ex since we parted as friends. He's been married three times and has several kids.
