Her friend told me she picked the time she did so I wouldn’t feel obligated to buy a gift. Obviously that was too late.
She’s not using me.
If you love someone, let them go. If they don’t come back, it wasn’t meant to be. If they do cone back, well…

Can’t say I didn’t see this coming, but…
She seems wishy washy
Exactly. How on earth could it be possible to buy a gift in only 11 days?
Per your OP, I would ask her definitely if she has had enough time to think.
I would also ask her if she now knows what she wants from a relationship.
Please keep us posted with developments!
I’m currious as to how many people in this world are still with their very first SO?
It took me 3 long-term SOs, (and a few practice runs in between) to find my husband. ![]()
I would venture that this varies wildly by culture. In the US, urban setting, I’d guess somewhere like 2%? My brother and his wife have been together since 1996, when he was 14 and she was 12–both each others’ firsts. They have been together continuously since, and got married last year. I would normally say, don’t marry the first person you have sex with, but there’s always an exception to every rule, as theirs is a loving and stable relationship.
As to the OP, well, I’d go with the others and say tread carefully. From an outsider’s perspective, there are a couple of warning signs (as have been laid out in this thread), and everyone likes to think they’re the exception to the rule, when most of the time, they’re not (which is why they’re called “exceptions” and not “rules.”) Many of us have all been there. That said, eh, fuck it. You’re 25; she’s 22. You both can afford to screw up, and, who knows, maybe you really will be the exception. That said, I concur with the advice above about communicating. And by that, I don’t mean acting like your first date where you did all the talking. Get her talking. Ask her questions; it doesn’t have to be super-serious kinds of things (at least not at first), but most people tend not to like conversation hogs. Then, eventually, you might want to get into talking about what each other is expecting and wants out of the relationship and things like that, but it’s not a topic I would beat like a dead horse, either.
Emotions are too complex to be polarized this way. I understand what Blackberry is saying, as well.
There are some people you can honestly care and have strong feelings for, but coexisting as partners doesn’t work out. If anything, its a measure of respect for yourself, and possibly the other person, if you’re introspective enough to realize this and do what’s best for both.
Many people buy their gifts in the last week, it’s not too weird to assume other people do as well.
Yes, you’ve got little to lose and lots to gain.
She had her head up her ass basically. We spent Thanksgiving with my family and that Saturday with hers. Wednesday, she broke up with me.
What’s that big day right after Thanksgiving? She went shopping on it. Duh. I bought the necklace before then though. This must’ve been a spur of the moment deal.
She’s a woman, she over-reacts. Just heard that on The Other Guys.
Update time.
I’m requesting a follow-up, please.
