Forgive me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like your still in your teens.
I remember my first heartbreak..it was just horrible- I couldn't eat for three days and I cried and cried and cried...and now I remember it as a wonderful life and learning experience *probably sounds strange to you right now though*.
My mother came to me, while I was crying terribly, and told me that "time eases all wounds". At the time, I thought that I could NEVER EVER heal, but she was right...I did eventually feel better, sooner than I thought, and the wounds healed nicely.
Although, I have to admit, he was my first real love (not real romantic relationship..already had one of those..but head over heels, LOVE) and I still think about him and talk to him to this day..only now, we are just friends.
First, I would recommend that you don't "play games" that only confuses things. Pretending to not care when you do, etc. Don't do that.
Second, if you two are at the age I think you are, it IS likely that your mom is correct in a way. He is probably trying to distance himself from you, especially since your moving. Men, especially teenage males, don't know what to do about the relationship anymore than you do, and the last thing that most of them want to admit is that they are heartbroken: AND they have been taught NOT to cry- so instead they pretend not to care thinking it will ease the pain (doesn't work for them though-but they try). Fortunately, with good training, *heh* some males get over this social stigma in time.
And lastly, for your own benefit you must realize that you cannot make him do anything that he doesn't want to do..no matter what tactics you try. It may just only make things worse.
One of my favorite mottos is "Say what you mean, and mean what you say!"
Just be honest with him, but don't carry it too far. (Talk about it, then let it go) Like I said, he is likely trying to pull away from you because he is afraid of the pain. Males handle things much differently than we females do. Be persistent with your adoration, but don't call more than twice a day (unless he asks you too), and try not to let yourself become hysterical or cry uncontrollably around him (at this age he can't handle it, and will likely pull away more).
When you talk to him, be the warm loving person that you are, treat the relationship as you would have before you found out you were going to move..flirt, admire, whatever you used to do, and try not to think of the pain..draw him closer to you, rather than pushing him away. Stay open and caring so that he doesn't feel threatened by being near you.
You know that you are moving, so the best thing you can do for yourself is take care of your impending heartbreak, and prepare yourself for it. Remember that you are still young and I promise you (and I rarely promise unless I'm absolutely sure)that you will find love again.
In the meantime, enjoy the time that you have together and cherish it. You will have fond memories -but your love life is definitely NOT over nor is it at it's best!! Believe it or not, you will experience SO, SO much more rewarding relationships as you get older!
No sense in rushing into arguments, talking his ear off about it (he will just shut down and not listen) or "breaking up"..like I said, you have plenty of time for love and romance that will even be better than this (although I'm sure you don't feel this way right now), cherish the time that the two of you have, and look forward to the many experiences that will top this one 100 times over!
Hope this helps some,
Jasmine
