Paintball + A Girlfriend = Pure Broke :(

[Clare]

I guess your right about I got my whole life about girls, but come on, im sure you had a high school "sweetie" some oldies might say

I sure did and now all i can do is regret it. I thought the same thing as you (that we'd be together forever) but in the end it just kept me from doing what I wanted...and for what? nothing at all.

I am 15 and I put all hot chicks over paintball. But I only have a crappy 98 Custom. I don't know which i would like more, a hot girlfriend, or a dark angel...

Hmmmmmmm...your not helping me here clare


*Sigh*....oh well...only a couple of weeks, ill be back into paintball, but not as much now

I still can't believe that you bought her a $200 dollar necklace, and you have been going out for about a month now, she must really have you wipped or something.

Yeah man, save most of your money for paintball. Girlfriends are great, but at 15 you shouldn't need (or be expected to) spend $200 on one gift. I'm only a couple of years older than you (17) and I've had a couple of girls that I thought I was pretty serious about. Buying stuff for them was fun, I liked to do it. But they liked when I made stuff or wrote things for them to. Well needless to say, the experiences were great, but they are both over (both cases we thought were were in 'love' as well). Ok, now that I realize I'm not really making a point, I'll make one. High School relationships end (usually), even if they seem like they'll last forever. You've got to live your life. Have as much fun as you can, but you don't need to give up other things to do so. Hope this made sense, I tend to ramble .

Sorry! Just offering you some valuable advice! Don't ever stop doing what you like/love for another person especially at your age. Once you break up, you'll be kicking yourself over it..

Scratches his head on this one. Alright I am only slightly older than u. (at 17 soon to be 18) I can understand where u coming from. I read most of the post and u say u have been with her for a month and will love her forever. That is a promise that it definitely difficult to keep. I do remember (oh so long ago) when I was 15 and I had a sweetie that lasted 11 months. I can say that I honestly had feelings for her but she moved on and Paintball didnt. Paintball is like the women that always gets away and then always comes back for more! My real point here is u dont have to ditch the girl u have to ask urself would she love me any less if I didnt buy this for her? If the answer is yes then I am not so sure what she wants. Now granted it's nice to spend money on her but Dont go out spending to much without a job.

I know I shouldnt of, but oh well LIke I said now, she wont be expecting anything forawhile now

I am not TOTALLY givin up paintball now, but can only afford like one tournament a month now

[Kevmaster]

Clare, I couldnt agree more. at 15, your "love" is very well..short term. Paintball is something, that odds are 5 years from now youll still enjoy. I know of 2 people at my high school who are in a serious relationship that will carry on pas high school. high school love is like that. fun? yes. its a great time to haev a GF to love and care for. but...really...your GF will come and go...i dont know of many relationships that have lasted 6 months...

That sucks man What happened?

[Sooky]

Ok, well I will offer up my .02 also!

CRog075, I agree with everyone about the not giving up paintball, but dont worry too much about people saying not to take it serious when your young. Heck, you never know what might happen; though dont get TOO carried away, hehe. When I was in highshool I met a girl at age 17, and now we're living together and in our second year of college. Trust me, it wont be the girl costing you in the future. You'll be worrying about bills!

[Smoke]

Blazingace, that's a bad idea. If it looks like it's over, move on. Don't get depressed or obsessed over it. I speak from experience. I lost a girlfriend, and practically sold my soul to get her back, and about 2 months later, she absolutly blew my heart to pieces. I should have just left things as they were, we ended on good terms the first time, the second time, HUGE explosion that even still lingers on today...and that was 2 years ago. Trust me, if it looks like it's over, let it go.
