Maybe you should wait until he feels alot better and gets his emotions together. [ poopiepantsgirly's advice column | Ask poopiepantsgirly A Question ]
Karen answered Thursday March 3 2005, 7:38 am: You could take this as you two are going out but he is probably just telling you that he isn't ready to be committed and that he wants you to stay with him until he is and that's basically what you told us. If you two are "together" but you aren't going out, then consider that as you teo are just friends with benefits but that will change, once this guy is ready to be committed. If he told you that both of you aren't going to hook up with other people, then it's true and you don't need to say that you should.

itsjustme answered Thursday March 3 2005, 1:32 am: go ahead and consider yourself as boyfriend and girlfriend. thats what two people that are "together" without hooking up with anyone else are. he probibly just has some aversion to the terminology. its just like people who wont say "i love you" even though they do, they think its something really special and it will take time for him. so, in your own head, yes you are boyfriend and girlfriend. just dont use those words because it makes him feel uncomfortable. hope i helped, just sounded like you needed a guys opinion.

But if you do wanna hook up with other ppl then tell or ask him if it's ok. [ ShYbl0nD3's advice column | Ask ShYbl0nD3 A Question ]
