Saved relationship for the future?

Ok, my ex-gf just told me that she didnt want to be with me right now because she wanted to save me for later. She said that she wanted to just date some people right now, not be in a relationship with them. She said that when she wanted to be serious that I would be the person for her. What should I do? Should I wait, or give up that hope of a future relationship? I mean she told me that she loved me, but didn't want to be with me right now, because she doesnt want a serious relationship right now. So, to me it's kinda like she's putting me on hold and I don't know if I can take seeing her with other guys. By the way, we're both 16.

    Tell her you won't accept her putting you on lay-a-way until she finds a better deal. You're both 16, you both need to live a little, but she can't go around 'saving' people for later; you're not a toy. Move on, date other people and if it's meant to be, you'll find each other again later on. Good luck!

    how long before you two will live in the same area? Maybe you both can find a cheaper option when seeing each other (like meeting in a middle point at the same distance between your 2 respective living areas) I personnally think that 4 months of relationship i think is abit short to determine whether you two will be the husband/wife + have children as you are still in the early stages of adulthood (sorry if this sounds judgemental) and still studying. If it can help, one of my friends has been in a long distance relationship with her guy since 4 years and are still together. its one of the most difficult things to make it as people change over time, especially if they are experiecing differentthings. However they love each other so much they are still together even though the geographical distance. If you think your business is key for the future, i would say that saving your money is best so that when it works you will be able to provide for your wife and children in the future. However, maybe you need to way what you think is most important and think of what you will regret more later on: putting to the side your business or going past perhaps the love of your life.

    Are you going to let her play these mind games with you? If she's not serious about you why should you be sitting around waiting on her? You need to move on and forget about her. Any woman that tries to keep a guy holding on and waiting in desperation isn't worth his time. Besides you are only 16 you have your whole life ahead of you and many many women are likely to come across your path in the future and many of those will love, respect and value you. Until then concentrate on your studies and what you want from your life and everything else will fall into place.

    Depending on how good the girls is, she is putting you on hold to see if something better comes alone.. or she thinks you're 'bf material' (which is a good thing).

    She wants to explore and enjoy other people for now before settling down with you for a long term.

    Take that as you like, but to me, that wouldn't be acceptable, unless you were doing the same. So, for now, why don't you do the same, date other people and see what happens. If she comes back to you cause she truly misses you, then you can decide at that point, but there is no point being single and waiting for her...

    If I were in your shoes, I would move on. It doesn't sound very respectful of her to just put you on hold as if she is the only person in the whole world that would be interested in you. That's what she makes it sound like. I would move on and have fun. Date people, hang out with friends, and all around just have a good time without her. Then, after she is done dating other people and comes back to "take you off hold" if you feel that you would like to be with her again, then do. But, if she's done this once to you, who's to say that she won't try to put you on hold again?

    You are both too young to talk about relationship for the future. You will be in the NS when you reach 18 and both of you your thinking will be different. You will meet different boys and girls and who knows, maybe each of you will meet your Mr Right or Miss Right in the future. Just be friends and let nature take its course.

    Don't let it slip!

    It's now or never mate, if she doesn't give you a good reason for this behavior, then she doesn't really love you unfortunately. :(

    Sadly, "saved" is the word which can never be used with relationships. They change with weather, I mean women.

    Leave her and forget her. She's not serious about you and you deserve to be treated better than this. Move on and learn from your mistakes.

    um. you better forget about her. she's just using you. she's making you wait???? tell HER to wait cause you're not some puppet she can play games with. if i were you, i'd forget about her and find another girl. you're 16. she's immature.
