I'm 21 and only had 1 girlfriend,

I'm 21 years old and only had 1 girlfriend my entire life. The relationship has lasted 7 years. We recently broke up and she wants to get back together. During our 7 years together we have been together through thick and thin however, during the later part of our relationship when problems were predominant I started wondering how another female may handle these problems? Since I do not have an Ex-Girlfriend to compare her to. I can make a hypothesis based on friendships I have had with other females but I don't want to say "yes" to getting back together but have this deep rooted curiosity in my heart, curious if this is a normal thing? =/

    U will never have another girlfriend to compare it too unless u get a new girlfriend. What were the reasons u broke up? If they will still be there when u get back together then what's the point in going back? If they can be resolved and fixed then think about giving it another go, if that's what u want. Maybe if u give examples of things that u would like to compare we can tell u how we would have handled them

    3 of my friends have never had a girlfriend and they are all either 23 or 24. if you want a girlfriend get one, if you are not fussed then don't. do what makes you happy. don't worry what is normal and what is not

    It's definitely normal I'm 21 too and I've really had 1 legitimate girlfriend for 10 years we met in 6th grade and started dating them or what we called dating. We have both had a break for a few months and dated others but you know who you belong with.

    I guess it is normal. My buddy is going through the same thing, although a few differences. He's had more than one girlfriend, but his longest one was for 3 and a half years, and just since a few months back, he's starting to reminisce on it a little too much. Things like "why did I break up with her" or "she's just like her" etc etc. It's getting to the point where he doesn't think he can ever be happy with another girl, and getting back with her is out of the question, for she's engaged to some one else. It's hard people to let go of their first love, especially for you I take (7 years?!). Anyhow, I'll advise you with what I've been trying with my friend, maybe it'll help: just have a guys night out. Go to the mall, club, beach or any of the usual hangout spots are for girls, and try your best to just not think about the ex. It may be tough at first, as I've personally seen. But, he is making progress, and isn't mentioning similarities between women he says and his ex. This obviously isn't something that changes overnight, for wounds need time to heal. But it's just like anything else: patience is a virtue, and if you dedicate yourself to try and mingle with other girls, be social with them, it will pay off and you will be able to move on.

    Best of luck to you man.

    normal. chill out. you are just feeling down b/c of the breakup. Believe me there's more to life than that. Just don't let your rebound relationship a long one. It sucks and emotionally you might not make the right decision (been through 5 yrs of hell).

    Get over her and move on. you're 21, don't cut yourself off from everything else that is out there over some sort of nostalgic feelings for what is, for lack of a better phrase, a childhood romance that lasted too long.

    Normal. But in doubt there is no doubt.
