Or, alternately, have you made someone wait for you?
Tell me your stories.
Almost three years. I was 16 and she was 14 when I first started to like her, but at the time I thought it would be better to wait until we were older and the age gap was less of an issue. We became best friends. When I was 18, I told her dad I was interested and he approved, but wanted me to take it slow because she was only 16. Around that time she started getting teased about liking me so she made it very clear she didn't by sabotaging our friendship and being super flirty with guys she didn't even know (and keep in mind that she was usually shy).
Needless to say, I was devastated.
The good news is, I've learned my lesson. One is don't be interested in a girl that young. Another is don't wait to tell a girl how you feel.
By the way, the girl and I are friends again. I've forgiven her and we are good again. But I'm not interested in being more than friends.
Started talking to girl a year ago, had a thing until mid summer, had conflicts, ended. I went to college (she's still in high school) started up again after I came home to visit, told her I wasn't ready to trust her again (Summer issues) a couple months later we became official in November, now just pushing through the long distance aspect until summer and next year (when she'll be at my college)
my hubby left to the US to work and stood with my son back home.he worked then started playing around getting drunk like crazy so he didn't want to come home.i waited for his calls.he would call me every month for literally a minute.i used to cry my eyes out and became freakishly skinny.finally after four and a half years he came home.yup,four and a half years I waited for him.maybe I was dumb or stupid to wait for him but I loved him and still do.
Well longest for me is probably a few days as it takes a sudden realisation to realize I like someon. However having asked someone out I'm still waiting for a decision as she wanted time to think about it, been about 3 days now and she still talks to me yet says 'maybe, can I have more time to sort out my feelings' when I ask if she wants to be exclusive.
I was going to wait for a guy for a little over three years but he didn't want to... life's a b**ch sometimes
Well, I could've seen my girl during school breaks. Wasn't a big deal for me.. But she ended up not being the girl I thought she was anyways.. Not that there was anything "wrong" with her, we could've at least been really good friends, she's a great person. But I had to cut her off completely, it would hurt me too much to know she's with another man.
The problem was exclusive. I was able to, but she wasn't. My best friend had a long distance relationship with a girl who later ended up being his wife. He came to her on his breaks, she came to see him when she could. They made it work. I would've done the same, but the girl I was talking to is a little to sexual with general guys for my taste. Anyway, I won't take any more of your time with my story. I just wanted to share my experience, and hope you could feel OK about yours. Goodbye
Erg, I'm in the same situation as it sounds like you guys were. It's so hard to decide what's worth waiting for.
Ha it wouldn't have been a hard decision, for me at least. When you love someone, you'll move mountains for them. And love is compromise... But he didn't want to compromise. I'm never letting anyone that close ever again, I can't take heart break anymore. But if both of you are willing to compromise and truly love each other, I'd say go for it.
I'm not in love... I can see myself loving him, but I think it might be in my best interest to distance myself and try to move on. We go to school far away from each other and won't graduate for another two years, and even after that there's no guarantee we'll be able to be together. I feel like letting myself fall for him now is just a recipe for disaster. It hurts to let him go, but I think I would end up getting hurt worse later if I let this go on... grr
I have another 3 years before I finish high school and I still would have given him a chance. And it hurts because I know he no longer wants me or cares... All because of miscommunications. Listen to your heart... And take a step back. If you can picture your life with him 10 20 30 years from now and think your still be happy, go for it.
If I were sure I'd be happy with him in 5 years, I would absolutely go for it. But we haven't had enough time to get to know each other in person to be confident that a relationship would work out. It's a rough choice... I can picture being happy with him and I have really strong feelings for him, but it's not enough to be confident in committing to something so unknown.

In 2008, a guy saved my life, we fell in love, but he got murdered in December 2008.
Every year I came back to the place we met, even though I knew there was no way he could be there.
Last year I didn't came to that place that day and I met another awesome boy.
He lives in Australia, I'm from The Netherlands, I asked him out 3 times, but he kept saying no because we lived too far away. On Valentines Day he said I had to ask the guy I loved, so I asked him to be my boyfriend for one day, he said I was girlfriend till midnight =).
Now, Valentines Day is over, and I'm still waiting for the day he will say yes for forever.
I've been waiting for over a year, and now I'm ready to just tell him. I can't deal with it anymore. I only want him. If things don't work out, than fine I can move on. However, I feel like I can't move on until I've tried things with him. He's on my mind all the time, and I have no enthusiasm for dating anyone else.
go for it, girl!
I've had waited for my first ex for 4 years and waited for my previous ex for 4 months but both didn't work out in the end.
four years? wow. what were you waiting for? how often did you see them?
Twice a year within those 4 years. It was my first love back in high school so I was pretty much really naive and didn't know better so I had waited for that long!
about two years and a half. we were best friends and I thought he really did love me (in more than friends way because I did ) but oh well... turned out to be waste of time. Now we don't even talk.
I have to confess that I miss those days when we were friends :((
I'm waiting for girl for 7 months just try to get to know her and I'll still like this cause I like her so much
I waited 4 years for one man. It never happened, so I finally moved on.
But, I bet if I saw him right now, I'd fall for him again, haha!
yes I m waiting for her for 7 years and will w8 till v married.
About 7 months or so, and still waiting for him to come around.
However I still date.
one minute ! .. And go along this street !
lol ? :(
2 months
I waste no dignity
Never.
a year and a half
four years
wow- how often did you see each other?
Daily, during school time: we were following the same classes in HS
why did you have to wait to be together?
We didn't end together. We weren't ever together. I was just telling her I'd wait for her forever and hoping...
It was pure loss of time and experiences for me. When we went to different colleges we both met other persons.
No use crying over spilled milk.
