Question Posted Wednesday August 25 2004, 10:22 pm
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 am in this situation. My b/f of 2 and a half years moved and we only see each other once a month.We were broken up, but when he came home to visit..it was like we were still dating. We held hands and kissed and etc.So..we're back together now. But before, when I would say I wanted to get back together, he would say he couldn't date me right now. But you know..someone told me that maybe he was making sure he could take care of himself before he had to take care of someone else.Which makes sense if you think about it. So..I guess he finally realized he could and is back with me now. So Ihope things work out for you too!! [ Pequenodiablo126's advice column | Ask Pequenodiablo126 A Question ]
Tessa_18 answered Thursday August 26 2004, 3:17 pm: I was kinda in the same situation as u. My bf split up with me last december but nothing really changed it always felt like we were still together. Anyway I waited and told him that I was getting fed up with the situation and eventually he asked me out again and we are now back together.
To me it sounds like ur ex bf is scared, maybe hes scared of getting commited so young but eventually if he really loves u then he will come back to u. Just make sure u keep telling him how much u love him, but dont pressure him coz it will just make him back off. [ Tessa_18's advice column | Ask Tessa_18 A Question ]
EmbracedxRain answered Thursday August 26 2004, 10:59 am: He probably just needs time to think and clea rhe head. Maybe he's trying to see if his feelings stay the same to make sure its real. He seems like a good guy and you two do seem like you have something special goin on. Give him some time to figure things out.. maybe he's scared to get in a relationship at this point. Just let him figure everything out and see what comes in the end =) *amber* [ EmbracedxRain's advice column | Ask EmbracedxRain A Question ]

Sunshine answered Wednesday August 25 2004, 11:46 pm: 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.
x1xRock_Faeriex3x answered Wednesday August 25 2004, 11:45 pm: Oy, ok um well let's see, why don't you ask him why he's like "I love you" then hes like "Let's be friends" try and figure out what is up with that. And if he really and truly loves you he will have an answer and hopefully it will be "I love you" and if it isn't I'm really sorry, but if it is that then you can always still hook up with him and shit.

*tasha* answered Wednesday August 25 2004, 10:51 pm: Girl..you need to talk to that boy and tell him to make up his mind.Does he wanna be w/ you or not? And if so ask him when.Because I don't think you wanna wait around for a couple YEARS of your life and then find out he is in love w/ some other girl. So communicate w/ him.Talk to him about it. GOOD LUCK! (tell me what happens k?)
