So yea It's official, Im an idiot. I broke up with my girlfriend cuz she is leaving to go to school a few hours away, and that is what I thought she wanted.....

We talked about it before I did and she said she didnt want either one of us to be hurt, so I decided it was best to call it off b4 she leaves. Yea well I find out tonight that it wasnt what she wanted, she wanted to try long distance like me and now I wanna try and get back togther with her because we still feel the same about each other. I dont just wanna say, lets get back together...I wanna make it kinda special....

Any ideas?

It all depends on the girl and the area you are from.

My only suggestion is just don't wait too long.

Sleepyjack

sing a serenade' for her

Zorvox

Take her a rose, and say "This is my symbol of love towards you, but unlike my love it won't slowly wittle way - I love you and I want to try things long distance"

1 RED rose = I Love you
Anything more is just stupid

Goodluck man.

hu-man

Yeah, do something special, cute. Write her a song, and record it on her answering machine. Send her flowers to her classroom. Get a megaphone and stand in a very public place, and yell that you love her. Write your names in wet cement. Make up your own!

Sparhawk

Memorize a monologue from some cheezy love story and recite it to her, a la the catholic school girl on SNL. If that doesn't work, then play your song on a boombox you're holding over your head out in her frontyard. That one never fails!

Do something like what others have suggested, but also try to explain yourself to her on why you did it in the first place.

Bloodslick

I think bermuDa's suggestion is still the best, because it's the cutest and openly admits that you made a mistake.

It's too bad you didn't break up with her on her answering machine like Homestar did to Marzipan, or you could impersonate all your friends' messages and replace the tape (like Homestar did.)

Plaid13

show her this post while your wearing the shirt bermuda suggested =)

Pragma

Show up with a rose, with the "I'm with Stupid" shirt, and apologize to her - explain that you thought it was what she wanted, and you made a mistake and don't want to break up with her.

Do it soon - within the next day or two. The longer you wait, the harder it will be.

I totally second the rose idea, that should get results. Good luck with that! The shirt idea isn't bad, either!

Hey man,

Good luck with everything and I hope everything works out. I was in your same boat too... I was off to college, still on the fence whether or not to end the high school relationship... but I decided to give the distance thing a shot. Yeah it's really hard at times but it's worth it. That was over three years ago. Now I'm still in the same long-distance relationship, gf goes to college 6.5 hours away by car, i've driven to and from there seven times now.

Big picture: We love each other more and more everyday, we'll hit 4 years together in February, and marriage is definitely down the road for us.

So again, best of luck, and maybe she's the one for you.

WarWagon

If you're going to go with the shirt, you're probably going to want to next day air it, unless you want to wait 5-10 business days to apologize.

The long distance thing can work out ok. We did something very similar; broke up at first, then agreed to still being a couple, but with no limitations on what we could/couldn't do. Even with these guidelines, we both stayed faithful, and when I saw her once again for the first time (thanksgiving, as I go to school 11 hours away), it was wonderful, and really reminded me of just how happy I was with her.

A lot of times its one of those "don't know what you've got 'til its gone" sort of deals.

dumbnutofak

Yea, I dont want that...We broke up the day b4 Turkey day and it sucked....I have white T-shirts @ home...I might just make my own with permanent marker since it is a iron on anyways....although i did order it....just not sure how...LOL. I'll have to check the price.... But yea, def going to go that route.....

I just wanna say thanks for all the ideas and support. A forum where people weren't jackasses all the time....who knew?

I'd recommend going with grabbing a permanent marker and a white t-shirt and doing it now. Waiting for the shirt, however cute it is, is too long. You could always explain to her when you do get the shirt that you ordered it to wear it, but it was taking too long.

How do you know you were the idiot a couple days ago when you broke up with her as opposed to now when you're thinking about trying to get back together? Seriously, how can you tell?

dumbnutofak

Actually I did get a white shirt and perm marker. Then i swung by her place after school and gave her the whole shabang...she said it was goofy but a very very good goofy ( <--- the shirt...of course I was standing outside in -10 degrees with a white t-shirt on and pants....yea thats goofy) I gave her the single red rose and she loved it....I explained about being sorry for being an idiot and all that but didnt continue because she was running a fever and so I put her to bed. I told her I would talk to her after work and we could talk about it some more. SO that is where I am at right now and I will update more later.

YAY I'm glad it went well for you.

Always important with stuff like this to consider your s/o's personality and taste.

I tend to get embarassed easily and a guy I went out with in high school was doing a performance in front of a crowd of 200 people or so. He was singing a song from "Phantom of the Opera" and came down into the audience and sang it to me (made me stand up).

Very sweet, very romantic, but embarassed the hell out of me.

Awesome to hear it went well Hope the rest of it goes as well

Jam

you may want to alter this one a little...

this is my symbol of love towards you, but unlike my love it will slowly wittle way - blah blah...

the other way is saying the rose will last and your love wont.. may get you into trouble

dumbnutofak

It worked! lol, I just wanna say thanks to everyone who read and threw in ideas....u guys n gals r great

hope things work out!!

numist

That Im stupid shirt is the greatest idea Ive heard for a while... I should do that sometime....

glad to hear that it all worked out

It could be worse... look at my location....

it takes me 9 hours to get to my lady's house when I want to visit, and thats on a good day.

dumbnutofak

well when she leaves for school it will take 8 hours... on a good day. but it will be well worth the trip.

Just think, you will both have time to make up for when you's are together, and I suppose in a way - it could make things better because you'd have each other on your minds, then when you see each other you'll be like ##@!#@!#$$@!$@!#@! and it'll all be cool

:::OshnSoul:::

I think they were all great suggestions- doing something obvious or in pubic + the flower(s) is a great idea.

Homestar= ahhhhh, love that site.........
