This is a long story, so I'll shorten it as much as possible. Note* I am 21 years old, love is important to me, and I am not a fan of being a Dad at a young age.
So I met this young woman (27 years old at the time) on craigslist for an NSA encounter. After a few nights we decided to become friends and do stuff. Little did I know, she had a 9 year old son. So I thought, "We'll see where this goes". She started liking me more and more, and eventually we went on a few dates (I agreed to them of course). I was so happy when I was with her, and she had the same feelings. We went to parks, movies, hung out at her place, went camping, slept over each others' houses, kissed, had sex, and a tons more. I even agreed to work with her at a landscaping job, because it gave us the opportunity to see each other more. I loved her so much, and felt that she loved me too. I am an affectionate guy - hugging, holding hands, kissing and such in public.
After awhile, we did less and less. Not a lot of dinners, no movies, less passionate love. I texted her one time saying that I wish we would do more, and that it would be nice to go out once a week (along with other words). The next day at work she barely talked to me. I got so sad because I thought she didn't like me anymore. So I told her to explain her reasoning. In a short description: she wanted more time with her son and family, thought I was too selfish, didn't want me to sleepover a lot (I would have to sign a lease for being over so much, etc.), wanted me to pay attention to her son more, and other things. I said ok, I'll do my best to meet your needs. I was so in love with her, that I would do anything!
Earlier this week, we planned to have her sleep over our house and have dinner. Well, I wasn't thinking and last night I texted her the same thing about doing a dinner once a week or even once every two weeks, just because I felt we were on a slow path again. She got mad and told me this morning that we are done. I told her I was sorry for the pain I caused her. I really, really love her and want her back. I texted her a several times saying that I will change just for her. I was so devastated, and now my heart is in pieces. But, I do want to win her heart back and have one more chance.
Should I move on, or should I follow my heart and get her back? I was so happy with her and my life was so much better. Before I was a lonely guy who didn't have a job, stayed at home a lot, and was a total loser. I cried for so long (and still am) about us splitting. I just want to make her happy and have a wonderful relationship. But now, I don't think that is possible.
Any advice please?!
