the things that you have learned in this reltionship that just ended will help you in the next.... Life is a live and learn ...as you live you WILL learn...Women are not better or worse than you and me... I have learned that if you treat & respect them the way you want to be treated and respected they will want to be with you...
If you can be a really good freind to them { NO STRINGS ATTACHED } and from that freindship work it into a relationship , then the relationship will last for a very long time.....
The saying goes.. you catch a bird,,, if you set it free and it comes back it is yours but if it does not it never was....
personal note::: I knew my wife for 15years before we started to date.... dated for 4 years and have now been married for 5years..
I do wish you the best of luck in your next adventure with girls...
