Justlookin, Take it from a pro here, I have been hurt myself before.I
have met to many so called nice people only to get hurt by them. My
cousin and I were living together for a couple years only to meet a
couple of her new boyfriends. she was married for 5 years till her
husband left for iraq for 2 years. during that time she had a guy move
in with her to help take care of her 5 year old son. he was a very
posessive guy he basically got what he wanted hell he conned me out of
3000 bucks for a trip to cali a truck and a bbq grill which i'll never
see anything from as in a payment when her husband got back her marriage
went down hill to a divorce now shes living with another guy who just
bought a home and she moved in with him causing me to move back home.
(such a nice cousin)during all this time I was just used by all of them
I can promise i'll never trust anyone again after all this experience

You're only 18,put the guys on the back burner for a few years and get a
good education. You have your whole life ahead of you.
You're much to young to have had your heart broken so many times, don't
worry, the right one will come along a few years down the road. Seems to
me as if you're rushing to find love and then you get hurt. Take your
time girl, love will find you.
Good luck kid

Gosh....I don't think I knew anything about love and men at 18.

At that age, I thought I should just be nice, love truly and adore the
person I was with and everything would be happily ever after.

I found out that even though you do your best, the person you find may
not do the same.

Be yourself, pursue your goals, be selfish in love and always ask for
what you want. Life does not revolve around having a boyfriend.
Remember, you can be a heartbreaker too.

You are young and wonderful and deserve the best.

Very well said Arabella.It saddens me to see such a young girl suffer so
much. When I was her age I was on top of the world and I didn't need any
guy to put me there.

your not alone.
