Q: i was out with my ex boyfriend last night. we still hang out and all that crap. basically, we still act as if we are still girlfriend and boyfriend. well, while we were having dinner, i said to him, "im a good girlfriend, youre just to dumb to realize that you should be with me." i watched his reaction, which he didnt really have one, and a couple seconds later he replied "its better that were just friends.." he seemed sort of unhappy when he said that. well, after that being said, the rest of the night, he was holding me, laughing, all the good stuff.. and he tells me that he loves me. he bought me a painting to have it say [his name] loves [my name]. so right now, im feeling sort of confused. he always tells me that he loves and that were going to get back together when he gets his head together.. but then, he says that whole thing with us being "friends." how should i feel right now?
btw.. im very much in love with him, and so he says that he is with me. we are both 18

I think it's obvious that he has feelings for you, but I think he's a bit overwhelmed by how strong those feelings are. So it's easier for him to deal with it if ya'll are "just friends". He just needs a little time to come to terms with his feelings. Just be patient with him and everything will work out.

Hope I've helped and please feel free to drop any other questions into my inbox.

I can give advice to anyone of any age, because I'm still young enough to be able to relate to the problems that teens face, but I'm not so young that I haven't had to deal with adult issues. So if you have any questions, just drop them in my inbox, and I'll answer them as soon as I can.
