I dated a girl for a year and a half when i was 15-16 I think i dumped her because i was afraid of a serious relationship that young. I am now 19. Why do I always compare a girl to her? Do I miss/still love my ex? What should I do about it?

You compare every girl to her because you can't forget her, even to the point that you might think that if you two got back to together, it would be the perfect relationship, illuminati. I would say you need to realize if it is at all possible for you and her to get back together, and if not, start getting over her. The key to forgetting her is to not try to forget her. Thinking of her is just as bad as trying to forget her, for either way, you are still thinking about her. You need to maximize the time you share with your new girl, assuming you have one, and that means noticing all the little things and falling for her completely. Once you do that, your ex should have already hit the mental backburner.

A buddy of mine is 25. He had dated a girl for a year or so - they split 4 years ago. She was his first and only serious relationship. He still misses her and claims he will always love her. He compares every girl to her and will not settle for less. He wants to have a relationship - but he doesnt make much of an effort to meet anyone. I feel he still hasnt let go. I hope you can move on and not stay stuck like he is. Its a lonely life.
