Can you remember the first time you were ever dumped and how did you react to it? Is there much difference to being dumped as an adult than being dumped in your first efforts with dating? Dones it effect you more,less or the same?
I remember quite clearly; I was 16,he was 17.I elbowed him in the gut as he passed me in class.Got detention after school.
There's a whole lot of difference; when I was younger it really didn't bother me as I was young and the emotional heartaches were dealt with easily.I've never been dumped as an adult.

I can honestly say I´ve never been dumped, neither when I was young nor as a divorced adult. However, I do think there is a big difference between this happening during adulthood and the relationships formed when younger, even though they may still be classed as as adulthood. I´m thinking of middle-aged folk here.
Adults who have "gone through the mill" and are more....well can I say desperate to find somebody? are often distraught. Younger people generally know, after a short time of mourning, that there is always somebody "around the corner". that is the beauty of youth!
One´s options decrease the older one gets. Fact of life.

somechick: Why is it too easy and unaccountable?Cause I don't care to constantly dwell in the past constantly and not move on.What purpose would it serve anyway?
I got rid of the excess baggage long ago and didn't wish to take it into another relationship.
Sorry somechick.Maybe I misread what you ment. What I think is that I do think occassionaly at de-ja-vu moments about past experiences in relationships and try to use that as a tool. I never mope about past relationships once im over it. I agree too that its pointless and counter productive to bring too much old baggage into a new relationship.

What is dumping anyway? Mostly a friendship ends on both sides. Dumping usually isn t necessary unless she wants to show some brainless power. and think the other side will But in fact I have been dumped once when I was very young LOL But over all I am a kind of guy. Making a scene is something for on stage in my opinion. But if you miss a stage and theatre in your life , you have to make it another way (not my way)...
Yeah, I remember. We were both in band. I was a freshman & he was a senior. He took me to a band competition, along with his brother & his brother's friend. He kissed me. I told a friend he kissed me. She spread around that I said we were "necking". He heard. Being the nerd he was, he said we couldn't go out anymore because of it. I thought I was going to faint. He was a loser.
I've grown a lot since then. And I always say to myself now, "This, too, shall pass". I know that the pain subsides & someone else comes along. With experience, comes wisdom.

saseez: I havnt been dumped but i have dumped them and that felt bad even tho they treated me like crap
One of the first girlfriends I dumped was when I was 17 and she was 19.We worked together and we dated for about 4 weeks.I told her that I felt too young to get too involved,which was true. However I did not mention the fact that her boyfriend was due out of prison in a weeks time for GBH and ABH with intent!! But I still fely bad.
