Question Posted Thursday September 16 2004, 2:18 pm
Okay Where do i start theres this guy(Johnta) who i have been goin off and on with for the past two years.. and recently i broke up with him because i started liking this guy(Steve) i met at the beginning of school, i mean yea me and Johnta went to the same school but he never walked me to class and whenever i did see him all he did was give me a handshake like he was ashamed of me or something, and people came up to me and was like "Johnta said yall dont go out" and we did.. so i decided that maybe i should get to know steve better and i did and he treats me with respect, he walks me to class, carries my bookbag, and just makes me smile whenever i am around him, But now Johnta and Steve dont like each other because of me the other day they were about to fight in school and they didnt but they were in each others face and the only thing that came out of johntas mouth was " Fuck You! You Fucked With My Heart!" and i felt really bad.. but steve really likes me and i can tell he acts like it but when me and johnta were goin out johnta acted like we didnt.. i just dont understand why ALL OF A SUDDEN johnta acts likes he cares.. I Cant break up with steve i've gotten to know him and I REALLY like him ALOT.. all my friends tell me to break up with steve but they just dont understand how i feel.. what should i do?

I feel like hes ashamed of me.. But... I'm not sure. but anyway. Thats besides the point. You need to do what you think is right. Personally. if I were you.. I would stay with Steve. Only because from the way you described him he seems like the type of guy every girl should be with.. Sweet.. caring... respectful and you like him alot... Give it a chance. Johnta is just being like he is because he cant just come and go in your life anymore.. and hes jealous of steve. I hope this makes since.. But.. Stay with Steve. You need someone who appreciates you.. and isnt afraid to admit you 2 are together.. I hope this helped.

UNLIKE Johnta, who is only using you for the personal ego boost. If Johnta starts shit again, you smack that sucker and tell him to back the fuck out of your personal life. And tell your friends that they don't know shit if they can't see that Johnta is only trying to manipulate you. [ Riggzy's advice column | Ask Riggzy A Question ]
wvsweetheart2006 answered Thursday September 16 2004, 4:34 pm: Lordy lol. Well it sounds like, he could be ashamed. He could be afraid of commitment or scared that if he softens up for you or a girlfriend in general, that his friends might call him "whipped" and he could feel less Macho. (My boyfriends friends do that but he could care less)
Johnta also sounds like he wants you to be there no matter what, so he'll have someone to fall back on. But now that you have placed an interest in another guy, he's jealous. He wants you to himself and if he can't have you, then nobody else can. If you and Steve start going steady, don't be surprised if Johnta tries to cause problems or involve himself in your love life.
This guy Steve sounds like a really decent guy. I mean, since you are in the situation where you have to choose, would you rather be with Johnta and he treat you the way he has been, or with Steve who carries your books and treats you with respect? Personally Steve sounds like the better choice. Definatley boyfriend material and he sounds like he is more of a longterm guy. It may be hard to do that to Johnta, but it could be the best thing....for the both of you. Hope I helped. If you need any more advice on anything, just go to my advice column!

sita answered Thursday September 16 2004, 3:25 pm: Dont convince yourself to like some one just because you hear they like you! its not health trust i just got out of that habit about a year ago. Its so much nicer when you actually have feelings for someone instead of tryin to develope some. Also the relationships never last and someone always ends up getting hurt. But when you really like someone because you and only you like him then it lasts. Even if that person doesnt like you back its so much nicer to know your not tryin to pull one over on your heart...
hope i was some what of a help good luck! [ sita's advice column | Ask sita A Question ]
ThisIsntHighSchool answered Thursday September 16 2004, 3:16 pm: I think you should stay with Steve. The only reason Johnta is acting like that is because he wants to prove to Steve that he's better than him. Steve sounds awesome and geniune. Stay with Steve dude. Hope I helped =-)
pinklemonadestand answered Thursday September 16 2004, 2:56 pm: I think you should stay with steve. He sounds like a really great guy and Johnta is probably acting like this because he now relizes that he lost someone really great and they might never come back. It is only a phase he is going through. Stay with steve.
xOmAnDaH answered Thursday September 16 2004, 2:47 pm: I think you should go up to Johnta and ask him why he seems to care all of the sudden! screw Johnta..Steve seems like a great boyfriend! I would defenitly stay with Steve..whats the point of haveing a boyfriend who doesnt treat you like a girlfriend?! Tell Johnta that he doesnt make you happy..but Steve does! Well hope I helped..and hope everything works out..rate me =)
LoViny0ux914 answered Thursday September 16 2004, 2:41 pm: I think you should stay with Steve because it's obvious you like him alot..and who cares what your friends say. Johnta probably all of a sudden cares because he didn't know what he had until he lost it, he probably thought "Oh I can treat her however I want because she'll never leave." And then all of a sudden you did and he got a smack on the face. You don't deserve someone like that anyway, you deserve someone who knows how great you are 24/7 (posibly like Steve?) and will treat you with respect. Talk to Johnta and if he says "You fucked with my heart." again say "well you fucked with mine..the difference is you expected me to sit back and take it." And maybe he'll understand. He's going to be hurt for a while because it can't feel good to have your girlfriend leave you for another guy, but eventually he'll realize its for the best. Until he does, just give him some time to cool off and enjoy your new man! Good luck and I hope everything works out! x0x0x0x0x0x [ LoViny0ux914's advice column | Ask LoViny0ux914 A Question ]
