Being single/my ex

Do you think someone can sleep with 'too many' people?
I have this thing about not wanting to go over 10, especially when I'm not even in my twenties quite yet- although it's currently under 10. But I know a girl who's a year younger than me and has been with 20 or more guys, and she thinks nothing of it! It's something that really bothers me though and I don't really know why- it's stupid if you think about it. I was trying to save myself for sex only within relationships, but then I'm going to want to get into relationships for the wrong reasons maybe

Yes, I know.
Dependency- I has it.

I think, like a few people have said, that although you're living with your ex next year, you need to move on emotionally and he needs to know that you have done. He's obviously aware how you feel about him, and its unfair of him to be leading you on - probably just for the benefit of his own ego.

You shouldn't be too concerned about keeping the number of guys you've been with to below 10... while its very admirable and shows that you are a girl who respects herself, you shouldn't put things in the way of allowing relationships to develop just to keep your number respectable! :-)

If I were you, I'd tell your ex that you're going on a date with a really nice guy, try to stop talking/texting/skyping your ex as much (or even at all!), and allow this nice new fella to take you out on a date! It doesn't have to lead anywhere, but crucially you're letting your ex know you're moving on and you're giving yourself the chance to see how things go with someone new. If he really cares about you and wants to make another go of things, this will be just the wake-up call he needs; if he doesn't then its his loss and all you'll ever be is friends.

Look on the bright side, you're obviously attractive, you've got 2 guys chasing after you, and the world's your oyster!

This pattern will repeat itself throughout your life. But seems like you're fine with that so c'est la vie I suppose!

No no, the entire point of this thread was that I know I'm dependent like that but I don't want to be anymore!

You need to spend some time loving yourself. This is the only way you can love others and be loved properly anyway. So focus on that I would say. I would go into more detail but I don't want to sound like I'm preaching; not sure what you want, just know what you has

I've heard this soooo many times! Do you have any advice on to how exactly to achieve this though?
No, I don't love myself, and I think men recognise that and exploit it (intentionally or not).
