I mean, I guess you could chalk it up to experience, but you know what? Your age doesn't preculde that. I would have known not to spend a large amount on a woman, especially selling things off of mine, that I worked for to please her. F O H b.
Example....Ok, when I was 17 and a freshman in college I started chillin out with this chick that was two doors away from me on my floor. Remembered her face from orientation that July, but just started chillin as friends in Sept/Oct when we go to school. After we started chillin, we were practically inseperable. People on campus thought we were bf/gf but we weren't. After a few weeks, I said to myself, let ask her where we stand. At that point, I thought it was a forgone conclusion she would say yes....

Nope. She wanted to be friends. So, I shut her off completely. There was so much done in such a short period of time, I thought that would be next natural step. After I shut her out, she kept asking everyone about me, my roommate even caught her staring at our door coming back from class one day. She apologized, I feel for it a second time. Asked what's good again, got the same result. She got that Mariano after that. No more b. Lession learned. Age doesn't mean anything. Bottom line, don't do too much. I didn't go as far as you, but spending that kinda cash on a female that young is prohibited. This is why I find the relationship/yambs thread hilarious. Ain't no back and forth. Make a decison stick to it. I've had so many mixed signals it ain't funny. So yes thadocta, grampa had experiences. I've been where like 90 % of where NT is now. All in how you choose to look at the lesson, but NOT ONCE did I let it make me bitter or turn into some "pseudo alpha" BS. Peace.
