I'm an ordinary person who likes the following things: writing, helping people, movies, reading, jogging, animals and teaching.

I don't like: stress, confusion, people who do not drag their weight and laziness.

My good qualities (I think) are patience, open-mindedness and the ability to write and speak in public with ease.

My weaknesses (I'm always working on these!) are the tendency to take on too much, from time to time; the tendency to not get enough sleep and my eating habits could be a lot better than they are now.

I will try to answer questions in an honest, open way, involving what I think is common sense. If I don't think I can answer a question well, I will skip over it.

Go ahead....try me! Ask me a question!

So here's the story...I really just don't know what to think of it all...we are both sophmores in college fyi.
After i broke up with my boyfriend of 6months..because it was a long distance relationship that really wasnt working out anymore...I started hanging out with this new guy. we were hanging out at least 4 nights a week plus seeing eachother & hanging out at parties on the weekend. when we hung out it was just watching movies sitting around..nothing fancy. every once in a while we messed around alittle bit..but not very much. most of the time it was just talking and cuddling..once in awhile we'd spend the night together. after about a month of this he took me to dinner on a friday night. we went to a school basketball game after dinner..saturday I went to his football game & we went out with a bunch of freinds that night. we spent the night together after that & went to lunch the next day. I was really busy on that monday so I didnt get a chance to talk to him..but then when i talked to him on tuesday he had a girlfriend....ummm? what happened? all of his freinds said that they hadnt even been talking and they were all really confused. they have been dating for about 2 weeks now and he continues to call me and text me saying how much he likes me and how much he misses me and how much of a mistake he made....i just dont know what to do now? i was really starting to fall for him and i really wish we could have kept hanging out..he keeps saying hes going to break up with his gf...that hes just waiting for her to give him a reason..idk help? (link)
I really do think this guy likes and misses you. It is obvious from how he hung out with you and took you out and spent all that time with you.

The problem is that apparently he wasn't "free" to really do that with you when he did. Maybe he didn't think he would like you so much and he could just spend time with you and then go back to his girlfriend and forget about you.

But obviously he can't forget about you. That is why he is still calling and texting you. He really does like you. He just doesn't have the nerve or ba**s or whatever you call it to break up with his girlfriend for you. I know that you do not want to be his secret "girl on the side." So....no matter how hard it will be for you, you only have one choice. Cut him off from all calls, seeing you and texting you. Go cold turkey. It is the only way to drive him to make a decision between the "girlfriend" and you. Believe me....when you don't answer his calls/texts and cut him out of your life, he will be faced with the decision of either getting rid of her to be with you. Or just letting you go. It is only then....when you see what he does....that you will know for sure if he likes you well enough to do what he has to do to get you. Meaning...break up with the "girlfriend." If he won't, can't or doesn't break up with her....then he wasn't meant for you. Move on. Good luck.
