I've known this guy since like 2nd grade. He and I have been boyfriend and girlfriend off and on for about 2 years. He and i usually hook up most during the summer and not much during the school year. My friends say that we sould either stay friends or boyfriend and girlfriend. I don't really know which one i should choose. i really like him saome days and don't really talk to him others. should we be boyfriend and girlfriend or stayt friends? thanx

punkrockprincess answered Thursday March 24 2005, 12:57 am: Keep on going with the on and off thing. Don't feel like you have to listen to your friends about this. If you don't want to be with him for a serious thing, then don't do it. But if you feel more friendly, then just be friends. But if you're caught in the middle, then do exactly what you're doing!
dreamingkat answered Thursday March 24 2005, 12:46 am: Well, if your happy with occasionally being his girlfriend, and he's happy occasionally being your boyfriend, why change things?
If someone's not happy, or if it puts stress on your friendship, then yeah, there's a problem. But if the only problem is that your friends think it's weird, inform them that your both happy with the situation, and since it's not broke, there's no reason to fix it! As far as I know, there are no cloned people running around yet. So what works for some people isn't going to work for everyone. If it works for you, don't mess with a good thing.
Generally, I tend to go for staying friends over romance because it's usually easier to add romance to a relationship than to go back to being friends if the romance doesn't work out. You've known him a long time - as you get older, you realize how nice it is to have someone who's known you for ages. [ dreamingkat's advice column | Ask dreamingkat A Question ]
