thanks for the replies everyone, all duly noted!
I know i have to stop comparing her to my old girlfriend, its just that this is only the second time i have had a long term girlfriend. the others were just 2-3 dates or 1 night stands.
i guess my expectations are just too high, and she doesnt need as much attention as i do. i hate being such a soppy wuss! its just so not me, but for some weird reason when i am around her i turn into one!
the long distance doesn't help either. she seems like a super-independent girl, unlike my last GF and i really like that about her! but sometimes it would be nice if she just "needed" me. not over the top, but just needed me from time to time. and she does (very) occasionally which is nice.
I had to say goodbye monday morning, she had to go back home and i wont see her for another 4 weeks! ARGH!!!
thanks for all the replies everyone, i guess i just needed to get it off my chest!
