Dude, at 23, focus on your career, learn about various methods of investments, by 30's plus, you will be having your pick to settle down. women slow you down from accomplishing goals. Anyways, she is 23, chances are she will be available again at 30 plus, only with a couple kids and a lot more baggage
For sure. In fact, this is exactly what I needed to see to really lock in. The sappy memories, ideals, and delusions I've holding are remnants of the past that I should have dropped by now. I had still been chasing my goals before working towards "settling down" officially, in fact it's part of why I waited so long. I just thought that she would be at the end of it. I'm still reflecting on it all, but man it has been egotistical of me to think that her timeline would stop for me or that she even had me in mind at all lately.

Fell to my knees in the kitchen upon seeing the engagement post on my sister's phone. I'm inconsolable. Walked out the house and went to my car to sulk. We're both 23, I thought I had more time to build myself into the dream guy before I made my grand move. I wanted to be Mr. Perfect first. I had always held the belief that she was the end game and that all the women before her would be practice for her. I've still got pictures of us hugged up with grins from ear to ear. I've still got core memories of us planning our futures together with all the stupid nothings that only kids would come up with. Those core memories being one of many engines to propel me through difficult times. This was so sudden. Did she forget? I have to rewrite all of my projections, my expectations, my dreams in regard to what our life would look like and how our families would further mesh. I can't just copy and paste another woman into my dreams, it was supposed to be HER. I should have made a move earlier. Where did this guy come from? It was supposed to be me! How could this happen?!

If they go through with it, I'm probably gonna be at the wedding whenever it is with tears down my eyes running to the alter to object when the pastor says "speak now or forever hold your peace".

Did you write this about a women you never dated as an adult?

If she was the one, you wouldn't have waited. People often miss opportunities because they don't act upon them when they are presented. But for the love of god, please don't ruin her wedding. It's funny in the movies, but in real life it messes up the moment.

So the shock wore off. My mind is pretty much clear now. My sister gave me an isolated big sis talk after an intense clowning session. I think she's the only one who caught me lacking.
Did you wrote this about a women you never dated as an adult?

Wait, did you actually date this girl? Were y’all ever together?

You just assumed that y’all would end up together? Did you TELL HER that?
These hit like daggers. Both assumptions are correct.:mjgrin: Outside of the occasional small talk at birthday/grad parties for our mutuals, it's been cordial but mostly quiet. She's a bit of an introvert, so I didn't think it was a biggie. I've kept my ambitions about her hidden and didn't pry as I should have. In fact, I've been actively actively avoided checking her socials in fear of seeing something that might conflict with my perception of her. IDK, I just sort of assumed it would all work out in my favor. A fluffy, comfy outcome to look forward to. Delusion? Hope? Arrogance? How could she not fall into my arms automatically if I became THAT guy? Right?

My sister pretty much made the same remarks and she set me straight when she told me that the person who I want the woman to be is just a memory, a figment of my imagination. Literally all of it is just in my mind. We might not even mesh well fr.


nikka you're 23. No one's perfect.
If I'm keeping it a buck, I probably would have held it off forever for this very reason. I would have been kicking the can for as long as I could, forever chasing perfection and chasing *the right time* so I don't have to take action romantically.

Maybe so, a bit of both, but it made dealing with them easier for sure. I didn't have to emotionally invest or get too worked up about them cause ultimately, they weren't my perceived endgame
