Need a good story, please share

Met a great guy during my vacation - we fell in love right after one dinner with friends, never happened for either of us. We did long distance for 1 month; after a great weekend, we broke up. Because we couldn't see a meeting point in the future - though we felt great with each other; he couldn't do long distance and our time together was way too short to be a solid base.


I need a good story about something similar happened; then you meet someone better, more suitable, more like a Mr. Right for you. I think this'll help me let go of this seemingly close to Mr. Right right now. Otherwise, it hurts too much.

After college, I met this great guy, but with long distance and he had heavy family commitment(help to support 8 siblings!), we couldnt think of continuing the relationship.

A yr later I met another wonderful caring guy who make me happy.

There's always a new chapter in our lives, so stay positive.

there's always a new chapter in your life. Somewhere down the road if you think you'd left somthing really special behind, you could turn back and go for it, if it's really that special. Not too long ago I left someone I love behind, because of long distance and because I couldn't see myself with him the rest of my life. i.e age difference, lifestyle -he's a committed bachelor, doesnt want kids whereas I want them, also he was abrasive at times and when the hurt is inflicted long distance it is irreparable. You dont get to talk things over as much and by the time you meet you've decided it's water under the bridge...but it is not. There is more silence and unsaid things, dissatisfaction and a cold hard anger. Classic signs of the rot setting in-not communicating.


Anyway, I still think of him even though I am seeing someone else now. Sometimes I think I made a mistake, as I feel that no one understood me as much as he did. But right now I am certain I cannot take his mood swings and being hurt by him. I also convince myself about kids and marriage-the endpoint which I am seeking and he cannot provide.


But I tell myself, if one day I find that I made a mistake I would trace my steps and see if I have a second chance. If none-then it is my fate. If it's meant to be then I am in no hurry.

in line with your request-this guy-meeting him was accidental and what followed was a quaint friendship at first and then there was the intoxication that followed. You know, the joy of finding someone you think is cut from the same cloth, made from the same clay..I found myself talking to him even in my sleep and smiling over telepathic jokes.


Two years an a few months ago I walked into a gallery and he was there. A bit scruffy looking and not my type at all. I was nursing the worst coughing fit I had in years-that persised for 9 months eventually. He offered me the only thing he had there-water and some old tube of dequadin he had tucked somewhere.


We had dinner later as I had nothing else to do in Hong Kong as I was new there. I didnt fall in love with him yet as I didnt know we were similar soul.


It happened a few months later, when I was in Spain for a holiday-alone. He called me everyday and texted me everyday. I felt like I was never alone, and to date my holiday in Barcelona has been the best ever in my life and it had a lot to do with him.My phone bill came up to SG900+


The rest is history.


My life feels a bit empty now but I have to move on.

He inspected my broken toe on our first date... after having told me how to care for it over phone during our second conversation.....


He would come over to see me even when I just down with a sore throat or a hangover.... dried my hair, massaged my back...


Yet, he was the same guy who not only decided to abort our child but did not even stay with me that night....


Too much pain and hurt followed....


Not been together for around four months but still woke up with both good and bad thoughts of him even today...


A staunch believer in love and romance, I now wonder what afterall is love.


But life HAS to go on.

Perhaps mine can be considered a similar 'story'... a disappointing one...


Via the Internet, got to know this guy... he would SMS me practically everyday which lasted some 3 weeks... we have never spoken over the phone though I did mention somehow... Last weekend, he asked me out & I agreed... I must say I had a good time. Even though he was not what I would have expected (quite an Ah Beng), I enjoyed his company, we laughed a lot while watching a comedy movie & during dinner together. Before I got off his car at my place, he asked I SMS him when I reached home... I did, thanked him & told it was a great night out... His reply said there was no need for thanks & I can give him a treat back the next time... 2 days passed, no SMS from him since...


Doubt I would text him... If he is interested to communicate further, he would have SMS me... :(


Elrena, don't feel too bad... you are not alone... Let's look forward to receiving a better person...

Finally something positive and happy to read... thanks, Woz's pup. It is really depressing to read about break-ups and unfulfilled dreams...



I'd never have written down my sad saga if I wasn't moved to tears by balzac's... sorry.

Thank you all - your words either encouraged me or told me that I am a much luckier person. If you have more happy stories to share, please don't let anything stop you - we could definitely use some smiles around here.
