Q: When my boyfriend & I started dating, naturally things were a bit weird at first. Then we became more comfortable around eachother & it started to seem like it was more about touching then talking. Now we talk on the phone more since we're back at school & don't get to go out as much. The day before yesterday, everything was fine & we were having a great time on the phone but yesterday he didn't call me. I texted him & we had fun texting back & fourth but then when I signed on he didn't IM me. I'm not sure if I'm overreacting (please don't be mean if I am, it's my first relationship). I'm hoping he's just overwhelmed by school because I really care about him & I would hate to think that I felt stronger about him then he does about me. What should I do?

Currently, I'm in my fifth (and hopefully last) relationship, and I've been with this guy for three years. I know what it's like. Now, to answer your question:

The not calling you thing could be a problem. If he says he's going to call you, he should call you. If he does it again, talk to him about it. But if he only did it once, I don't think it's that big a deal.

The IMing thing isn't a problem at all. Sometimes, people just get up and walk away from the computer to do something, or are doing something and don't notice you signed on. There's plenty of excuses for the IM thing, so don't even be concerned about that.

thanks =D

Love hurts. That's why I'm here to explain to you exactly what your significant other (or hopefully significant other) means, truthfully and unfortunately painfully.

In other words, I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear, unless I really believe it could happen.

If you don't believe me, well, I can give you proof. My way of thinking worked for me and my wonderful boyfriend of three years (I love you Matt!)
