Yes . it seems to be a tragic story on your terms. It seems to me as an immature LOVE or whatever they call it. It is good that at least one could express how she felt to the other. If not , and you were apart .. and not knowing if the other one still has the affinity towards you , that would have been even worse.. SO, since the girl said that the guy didnt stand up to her expectations and so she quit the relationship that was made in so pre-mature part of her life : its time the guy has to move on. Learn from the mistakes, prove himself, if by any chance, meet the same girl or find another girl... that will do good to both of the ppl in context. * SAME applies if we "interhange" the gender on the plot described. BOTH cannot stay together until they both respect each other, and accept the other whatever way he/she is.
