I'm really perfectly content without having anyone romantic in my life. I just really want to be with her.

been there done that. Usually after romantic relationship didnt work out, I find myself saying the same thing.

True, but a friendship can be salvaged even after a failure of romance. You just have to be careful and work hard at solidifying a friendship after an amicable breakup (of, couse it must be amicable). It is VERY difficult though. The problem is in trying to keep the friendship even when the relationship starts to sour and for both parties to realize romance won't work before the relationshp totally and utterly disolves in a Jerry Springer show.

Thats what happened to me. Tho she, the one who ended it, was much more keen on salvaging the friendship, perhaps because I am the most interesting and entertaining person she knows (which isnt saying much... she has a boring life with boring people, and that is her opinion, not just mine). I, like a typical male, mutually wanted to remain good friends with the hope of eventually rekindling the romance. On several occasions I have told myself no, its not going to happen, nor do i want it to, yet that still, one year later, lingers in the back of my mind. Im not waiting around tho. I have not been either... im getting out there and Lor i recommend you do to. I found many girls to occupy me and who have even made me forget all about wanting a romance with the one who didnt want it, if even only temporary. And as we've moved farther apart, i desire romance less and less... she has changed a lot, and not in ways i admire. She has gotten into drugs, she has always drank just to get drunk but now does that with much more frequency, she hangs around delinquents, and she is increasingly lazy and inactive (ie getting a little healthy around the thighs).
shes swiftly moving toward "not my type"
