formerly Floppy, now Rock hard
hi friends, welcome to my dilemma.

my girlfriend and i. been going out for approximately a month and a half etc and honestly, i've come to conclude that she's one of the most pure-hearted and straight-forward chick si've ever encountered in my fucking life. It's like me dating that blissey pokemon all over again. But that's aside from the point; some background information:

We met over the telephone through a schoolmate of mine who, luckily for him, tends to have the magic touch of randomly hooking people of all sorts up. Heh what a guy. It was a 4-way convo. My gf, schoolmate, his gf/matey/hoe/trick who's supposedly my gf's cousin and myself. The whole "hey im x you're y nice to meet you" bangarang didn't consume much time surprisingly. Of course, being your typical horny male i lied about my age stating i was 2 years older than i actually am. I'm 17. Luckily for me my dishonesty was right on target as she was also 19 years of age. I was relieved........for the moment.

After minutes of woo-talk and me earning plus points after pretty much every line of speech i uttered, her much impressed cousin suggested that she take my number. She did resist to ask for a while, but of course, my modesty line of "you don't have to be forced to do things you're not necessarily comfortable with you know" pretty much hit the nail on the head heh. I chuckled, she chuckled. I thought...."ez, but different." The 4 way connection split up in 2s after a moment and we familiarized ourselves with each other over hours and hours of somewhat spontaneous conversation. I was mildly entertained, but i spat out a shy "hehe" every now and then nonetheless. The deal was sealed after a week or so; she was mine.

Ok long story short, we've been together since then making it 1 and a half months, she still thinks i'm 19, go to college, as well as other lies that bridged from me lying about my age etc. As a brief note, this relationship is no joke. I'm head over heels about this chick and i'm positive she feels the same about me. We've been through so much over such a short time. We've said our "I Love You"s so much in such a narrow time span to the point where it's almost lost its meaning now.

However......


it was all based on a lie

I spilled my actual age to her over the phone as she's a few hundred miles away at the moment and her reaction was not necessarily one to be fond of. Even though she claims she still loves me just as much as she dide before, to her it'd be better if i actually cheated on her than what do what i did. She asks me for feedback on the whole situation, bu ti just dont know what to say. She asks what i could possibly do/say to make her feel better, yet again i'm speechless. I'm feeling so awkward and i know she's feeling even worse than i am. Guys, help me.

Am i fucked? ;\
 
IMO she could be lying about her age as well.

Tell her the truth; tell her you regret lying, you wouldn't have done it if you knew it would have jeopardized what you have together now. If you feel bad about the relationship being created upon a lie, tell her, and if she forgives you and you both continue from there, it'll make your bond stronger :)

Or if you're a badboy, tell her that her sexy alluring voice compelled you to lie, out of intrigue:P
 
i did confess to her as well as made her know how much i regret lying etc. However, her argument continues to be "if only i had known" etc things might not have turned out the way they are right now which somewhat means this might not have even happened. Also for a second she thought i did it all for the sex which was definitely not the case. i tried convincing her that i'd never do such a thing (with her at least) and it was all because i was trying to prove the theory of age just being a number; not only that, she seemed like the ideal, wanna-spend-the-rest-of-your-life-with kinda girl for me :(.

I did it all out of love, but the results of me confessing tends to show the total opposite of my intentions. fuck..

IMO that's ridiculous.

Floppy, my man, you've dug yourself into a deep hole with this one. Trust is really the most important thing in a good, solid relationship. You've hurt her, and in doing so damaged the trust she has in you. Right now, I'd tell her that you still feel very strongly about her, and that if she still feels strongly about you that you should stay together; if you were 19 and in college and she loved you, why should she stop loving you because you're 17 (and I'm assuming NOT in college)? You're still the exact same person that she said "I love you" to all those times.

This might now turn out the way you'd like it to, but I'm sure you understand that by now.
 
dm is spot on about trust. you need to get it back somehow, try being much more open and telling her about your real life, invite her to meet your family if she hasnt already, etc. although you might not want to mention online pokemon just yet.. save that one for "embarrassing secrets" time.
 
I would just give her some space for a while, say "look, I lied, yes, but I feel very strongly about you and I want this to work out for the best" and just let it be.

yeah you definitely fucked it up with lying and all that, but like you said, maybe this never ever would have happened if you hadn't said you were 19--when I was 19 I went on a few dates with a girl who was 23...it abruptly ended when she found out my age (I didn't lie, I just never said it). I'm not going to guarantee anything, but if she likes you that much, she'll get over it. if not, then, easier said then done, but then you just have to pick it up and ramble on.
 
I don't see things going well. Lieing early in the "relationship". When it's a long distance thing. Things are fragile, and now she feels like a fool on top of it, and tricked. God.. even though it seems like a small lie, you fucked yourself up.
 
You without a doubt fucked yourself up.

Floppy in a relationship there are 2 goldens rules:

1. Absolute Trust
2. Absolute Love

Now if I am hearing this right you told her that you were 19, but did she ask? If not then you are absolutely screwed. If she had asked then maybe you could weasel out with a "I am sorry, but you were just so beautiful and it is not everyday I talk to someone as caring, loving, beautiful, ect, perfect as you. I just wasn't even thinking about some of the things I said"

However if you deliberately said it without and questions then she will think you are a liar and thinks you can not be trusted and if you break rule number 1, then rule number 2 is also broken as she will think you can not be trusted and be interested in other women

If she wants you back and just wants you to say something comforting you can just apologize either the way I said it or use the "I am so sorry, I wasn't thinking straight and I just wanted you to know I love you and I am sorry" She should take you back

Firstly, a hearty thank you to all the dudes who took the time out to provide input on the matter.

As for an update on the whole situation, she's pretty much ready and willing to take me back but is still unsure about certain things as in the lasting of the love that we still supposedly share etc. i don't blame her, i was a selfish, unthoughtful dick. About the whole "she wants you back and just wants you to say something comforting you" thing KinglerDude, indeed she does want me to.....but i have no idea whatsoever what i could possibly say to make things at least a bit better than they currently are..

Once again, thanks again dudes. You really helped a lot.
 
but i have no idea whatsoever what i could possibly say to make things at least a bit better than they currently are..

Right now, more than ever, she needs reassurance. If she's willing to keep going with you, then you need to show her (verbally and non-verbally) that she didn't make a mistake. You said you were a few hundred miles away (which is a pretty shitty way of breaking it to her, I might add). When do you get back to her? See her first thing, before anything else you do.
 
I am glad to hear that we helped, and really you should just say what you feel. When I have to say something to comfort my gf, I just say it from the heart and I don't bother on preparing what I am about to say. I found girls like it more when you say stuff unprepared because it can show your true feelings to them and show you do care / love them.
 
why must you insist on talking about females like they're a whole other species

"girls like it when you're honest"

what, so boys like it when you lie?
 
we pretty much see each other like every two weeks on average since she has to be constantly traveling back and forth between New York and FLorida due to her mother's role as a fashion designer. So basically it's more like a long distance thing than anything else and getting my point of reassurance across over the phone can be a pain in the anal sometimes. With that being said, i'll be talking to her later again tonight but i'm not exactly sure as to when the next time i'll be seeing her as yet.



EDIT: yeah kdude i find it that she's more interested in hearing what's on my mind than her having to "sort out" our situations whenever they pop up. it's not that i'm not man enough to do so myself, but over the phone solutions and actual physical appearance ones are just two seperate things from my perspective. I tend to find it easier to actually work things out when she's right there beside me than over the phone for some reason :(. I guess i really need to get used to the whole "oral cure" thing and fast too..


...i just dont know what to say i'm so young and not used to the long-distance lovey-dovey scenario

because you kinda are :justin:

That really kinda sucks. Honestly, the best thing you can do right now (and it may sound lame) is to kinda plan out the entire conversation. Consider questions that she might ask you, and have a response ready. Play in your head how she could possibly respond to things you might say. You're at a very delicate point right now, and the wrong thing could jeopardize the whole deal.

I am not saying it like that, I am just saying that by human nature women have more sensitivity to them then men. To be honest I wish men could show their sensitive sides but most people are afraid to. Guys use the whole macho act, hell even I do at times. We do it to act tough but females are more open with their feelings about love and honesty, it is just human nature.
 
You most likely are fucked, but you should take it with a grain of salt and learn from the experience.

Also, I really am 19, and I know you have a lot of growing to do in the next two years, because I know I sure did.

I had my first "omg I'm so in love" relationship when I was 16, and for a while was convinced it wouldn't be better. Then we fought about stupid juvenile shit, and it went to hell.

As I've gotten older, smarter, and more mature, my relationships have improved exponentially and been much healthier. I haven't told a girl I loved her since the first time I made that mistake, but even without that, I have felt much more smitten with my last few girlfriends than the one I had when I was 16.

Chin up, listen to music that makes you feel good, and roll with the punches. Maybe you can reforge something with her, and if you can, more power to you man.
 
yeah dude, it isn't human nature at all, its our culture.

i know it doesn't do much good at this point but i feel compelled to tell you that intercourse probably wasn't the greatest idea for a relationship founded on a rather large lie. as for remedying the situation all i can stress is what DM already pointed out, nothing has changed other than your age, everything else was real. if you can make her realize this (no small feat if i might add) she will come back to you. you are definitely going to have to tread extremely carefully for a while seeing as she isn't likely to fully trust you for a good while. good luck man and if it doesn't work out just remember that she couldn't have been the one for you otherwise it would have worked out, she is just one fish in the sea.

Oh sorry to get out of topic, but i agree at some extent with akuchi that is all about socialization and a lot of things. Even the way we were raised, culture and etc.

I must add that while most men hide their sensitive side, i embrace it, i don't mean i'm a girly man or something but i have always said my feelings when on a relationship, i love when that person express their love for me and when i share things and like now that i have serious problems with my ex girl-friend i feel down most of the time and wish to get back. Probably i am a mixture of things.

Talking about problems, i may post mine later if anyone wants to give advice so i don't start a new thread!.
 
You're fucked.

Relationships that are based around a lie (or a whole group of them) don't usually work out, as she's going to have a hard time trusting you after you "come clean."
