Over the past 3 weeks, my girlfriend had been on a family trip/DNow weekend. When she got back, I was asking her mom if she wanted me to call, or if she'd call, and my gf pretty much told me, "Not now, I'm playing." This was after THREE weeks of not talking to me, so I assumed something was wrong.

Well, the next day (with lots of dramaish stuff since I had been in a disagreement with her mom), I finally got to talk to her. She pretty much told me that, because of our relationship, she couldn't focus on God like she needed. She would wake up, do a devotion, then spend her entire school day waiting until she could talk to me. She can't handle both our relationship AND a relationship with God, and so she broke it off with me.

As far as she's told me, that's the ONLY problem. She still loves me, and I still love her, but we can't be together =( I need some encouragement to help me through this, because I agree that if I have been that distracting to her, then we DO need some separation. To help her, I've even chosen to cut communication PERIOD for this first week. We're still best friends and will talk after this, but it's going to be hard, especially now that I practically can't (appropriately) touch her anymore =(

And, since I'm kinda a realist, I know I'll get over the hurt soon and wonder what to do now that I'm single- Should I go out and look for new people, or should I wait on this relationship, since there still MIGHT be a chance (no guarantees)?

Anyway, discussion points- Need encouragement, what do I do, and have you gone through anything similar, ect. ?

You dont need to be in a hurry to date, considering that you're still pretty young. You dont need to commit to anyone seriously at this point. Just date casually (meaning no sex) and get to know a few ladies (including this g/f ur talking bout) and i'm sure that one day when you're more mature you'll know who to settle with. Don't forget to ask God for help when choosing your mate, a few years down the road.

Yeah I agree, except the whole dating around thing. Perhaps you should focus on God as well.
