I would recommend showing some attention that doesn't involve jealousy. What about hobbies you both enjoy or something you both like to do, but make it more of a "special" event for her, sometimes? Could it be that she felt a little neglected in her previous relationship and discovered a "coping mechanism" that sometimes works?

^^^ This is exactly the type of comment I made to my ex when he dumped me for not being perfect. He seems to have the idea that only unnattractive women deserve a chance. While hating the pretty women because a few turned him down. Well I didn't, so he shouldn't take it out on me!

I definitely broke up with her, and I believe I mentioned that earlier in the thread. It was really bittersweet, because I enjoyed her company, I just didn't enjoy the drama that eventually came along with it.

Anyway the first few days after the break up she texted, but then it died off and I didn't hear from her for a while, and I figured that was that. Then last night out of the blue I get this extremely long email from her all about how she has been heartbroken, misses me, and knows that she can change if I give her a second chance. She even said that she has not been on a single date since we broke up, which seems hard to believe.

Well, I am probably being stupid, but I am tempted to ask her to dinner or something to at least talk and see what she has to say Yeah, I am probably going to regret this, but I might regret not finding out what happens even more. Also, I can imagine that it took a lot of courage to come back weeks after a break up and say yeah I screwed up, I can fix it, please give me another chance. I know I could have never done that, and it kind of gives me the feeling that she is serious about being with me.

One potential problem is that I have been dating other women, and I'm not going to lie about it. We shall see.

But for some reason this girl wants me to start trouble with every guy that glances her way. "Oh he looked at me, what are you going to do about it?" Honestly, if I tried to fight every guy that looked her way I would constantly be in trouble. I enjoy her company, but this is getting to be too much.

So I am looking for advice.

She sound very immature..how old is she 15? Why do you want someone that immature? She may be pretty, but her insides are extremely ugly..

DUMP HER

Walk away. If you can't walk, run. If you can't run, fly.

Now this particular incident pissed me off as well and I had words with the guy. Ever since then it's been downhill.
Dude, again, I apologize.

Are you serious man?

You broke up with a great girl because of this?

A simple "I don't have a problem with people staring at us. I'm comfortable with who I am and the way I look, and you should be too. If people want to stare, it's their problem" would have sufficed.

She's young and beautiful with insecurities. It's your job to be the man in that relationship and show her that you'll be there for her and protect her, but not in unnecessary ways.

Uh yeah I had that conversation like 10 times before I broke up with her man and it certainly didn't suffice. It's not like it happened once or twice. It was a constant ongoing thing.

But after the break up she has came back and said she was totally in the wrong and would like to work things out so we'll see what happens.

DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER DANGER!!!

Do not go back to The Crazy!!!

She has not changed in the intervening time. It's been only a few weeks. You don't change insecurity or manipulativeness in a matter of weeks. It takes months of consistent work to get there.

You fed her ego. She wants you back to keep feeding her ego. And since you broke it off last time, she'll punish you for it this time.

If you meet up with her, she will be on good behavior for a short time. Then one of two things will happen: 1.) ALL The Crazy will come out, and she'll say "You knew what I was like, so you have no right to complain," or 2.) she'll dump you out of revenge.

Do not go back to The Crazy!!!

Hang tough. Be strong. Spare yourself the insanity.

Dude, someone who is that insecure is best not to go back to. You did the right thing by running.
