Of course if you've found someone better than her, then by all means just break things off with her | ||

And for God's sake stop whining about how you don't want to invest your feelings or risk getting your heart broken or whatever. You sound like one of the girls on the Bachelor. <gag> | ||

That's the basis for a relationship, not some artificial commitment or choice of words.

Most guys on here would be crying about their feelings for this girl and how much help they need to figure it out. Thank you sir for handling this like a reasonable adult with some self-confidence. Nope. It's from someone who is scared of something that hasn't happened yet and is trying to prematurely end the relationship to avoid getting hurt. | ||

Everyone has a different set of standards and preferences, and since we have no way of telling what yours are your better of asking people who actually know you. I don't think he should take this advice. | ||

If she doesn't seem to mind, then maybe think about ending it. Don't throw away something good out of fear. | ||

Without getting too after school special, let me just say that I really appreciate the honesty of the feedback given here. Whether you think I'm an idiot or in the right place or I'm just trolling, you have stated so plainly. It's refreshing and for me personally it's much needed in these types of situations. So thank you to anyone who posted honestly. | ||

Also, if you were present, I'd slap you in the "GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF, MAN" style. You're so overreacting, there's nothing wrong with a woman who's had a previous relationship. To desire a woman with "no baggage" is idiotic. These people do not exist. There's less baggage. There's too much baggage. There is no "none." This applies for men and women. Why is it a bad thing she had a serious commitment with another man? You've barely been dating her and you've already made holiday plans? Sounds like you've already committed the next few months to her in a way? You didn't have a problem doing that. Before you found out she was engaged. " This girl was actually forthcoming about her past (hey, I wouldn't whip that out in the first week, either), and now she's almost tainted to you. Fuck, this girl sounds pretty awesome to me. I hope you realize how childish you're behaving, and you're ruining a good thing in the very early non-committing stages of a new relationship. You will regret this. But maybe she's better off. | ||

I was engaged to a girl and broke up with her after a 7 year mostly long distance relationship and just a short time after, she was fine and found someone else (It was after 3 month, not 1, but that was mostly due to lack of opportunity). Especially long distance relationships can end up being dead long before they formally end and those involved often suffer a lot less from the break-up. Don't make assumptions, unless she said something else you should just proceed "as normal". | ||
