karenR answered Monday April 25 2005, 12:56 am: You just stay away from him at school. I think a time out means just that. He doesn't want to date anymore. Sorry. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
Dumbblond1chick answered Sunday April 24 2005, 11:12 pm: Time out is crap he might be cheating it would make sense this time out would let him makeout with you outside of school all he has to do is ask doesnt matter if you two do that he now has the power to and he also has teh power to say "time in" anytime he wants and if there is another girl he can try it out with her and if it doesnt work you right there "time in" tell him No time out its either a relationship that your comfortable with or No relationship at all. if he says time out still you walk go find a better boy who knows better to relize that your relation isnt a game.

TheTeenGirl answered Sunday April 24 2005, 5:01 pm: Usually when a guy wants, "time-out" it sounds like he wants to see other people, or theres a girl he might like and doesn't want to kiss you in front of her, in other words, this is hardly innocent. Hes the one who said all of this, so I think hes the person to ask. Tell him, "listen, I need for you to explain what you mean by time-out, when you say you don't want to kiss in school, it just sounds like you're covering up that you don't want to see me anymore or want to be seen with me anymore, so if thats the case, tell me, because I don't want to be slowly brken up with, if theres another girl, then tell me." I'm telling you to tell him this because it just sounds like he doesn't want to just get it over with and break up with you. You don't need to worry about acting, you need to start talking, and then you'll know how to act. He owes you an explaination of what he said to you.
ashleyxnicolex3 answered Sunday April 24 2005, 3:35 pm: ok well if he said he wants a time out then he probably just wants time to think about things. i say that you talk to him because you are definetly still friends but yeah i think he just needs to think about things. but yeah definetly still talk to him because if you dont then he might think that your not interested in him anymore. good luck [ ashleyxnicolex3's advice column | Ask ashleyxnicolex3 A Question ]
Mackenzie answered Sunday April 24 2005, 12:17 pm: In *THIS* case... youR "time-out" seems like a way foR him to be juggling some ho's at school. Although it may Really seem like that, you Really need to ask *HIM* what *HE* believes time out is, that way it's cleaR to BOTH of you, and the space that is Requested is kept. I Really do hope things woRk out! Hope I helped! =D [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
o0xbrianna answered Sunday April 24 2005, 11:28 am: Okay I don't think there should be such things as time-outs in relationships. That is pretty weird that he doesn't want to kiss you at school. Maybe he has another girl on the side. If I were you, I would act the same around him. Or, dump him.
SimplyMe answered Sunday April 24 2005, 11:26 am: Time out is like a hands-off relationship, basically.. and if thats not what he means by it, then just keep it hands-off and let him make the first move..
xGAWSHNESSx answered Sunday April 24 2005, 11:24 am: Time-out can mena dfnt things. It doesnt sound like he means time out from dating, just form some of the things you're used to doing wit him. one thing you should not do is immediatly assume he's cheating. bcuz if hes not and you confront him with the fact that you think he is then he might feel like you dont trust him. talk to him and tell him you dont understand. let him kno that you're not sure what he means by "time-out' and that you want to kno so you can understand how hes feeling too.
hope i've helped in some way. -plz rate me- [ xGAWSHNESSx's advice column | Ask xGAWSHNESSx A Question ]
Guitar4eva1243 answered Sunday April 24 2005, 10:57 am: Maybe he doesnt like showing himself like that in the school or he is a jerk.He might just need a break from it all so don't dump him act like friends untill he's ready to be more than friends again
heathermichelle answered Sunday April 24 2005, 10:34 am: You should just go have another big talk to him and tell him what you think about this time-out stuff..to me it sounds like he is trying to be a little sneaky and do something he shouldn't be doing..ask some people if he has been out or if anyone has seen him with someone else..thats usually what guys use "time-out" for..sorry if you guys dont work out..i hope this helps though [ heathermichelle's advice column | Ask heathermichelle A Question ]
craazylau answered Sunday April 24 2005, 10:24 am: Ok well the simple solution to this would be just to go right up to him and ask where you stand! It's unfair of him just to leave you hanging like this and not make it clear what he wants. By you regaining some sort of control over the situation by asking him whats going on he may come to his senses and realise that he can't just call the shots all the time. Also by you asking him whats going on you'll know how to act around him! Good luck [ craazylau's advice column | Ask craazylau A Question ]
bly67 answered Sunday April 24 2005, 10:05 am: time out i think means a break. and if he doesnt want to kiss you at school thats his problem dont let people get u down and he probably is cheating if he doesnt want you to kiss him you dont need to be his scape goat [ bly67's advice column | Ask bly67 A Question ]
LlYySsAa answered Sunday April 24 2005, 9:52 am: Time-out is when he can't hug you or kiss you or touch you or anything cause he thinks you guys need to take some "time-out". It's really stupid and most guys who take time-outs take them because they might want to break up. Hope this helps!!
sadf16 answered Sunday April 24 2005, 9:10 am: I think he means he wants space to think things. Maybe you can do as he want. Give him space and don't get mad at him or nag at him because maybe he'll get angry at you. Just act as if there's no problem but don't push him into admission. Maybe he has a big problem. He'll come out of it sooner or later. [ sadf16's advice column | Ask sadf16 A Question ]
Breanna_Marie answered Sunday April 24 2005, 9:05 am: You should act around him like friends. and i think that time-out means time away from being bf and gf, but don't take that as thats what it means cuz im not exactly sure thats just what is souds like. i also think you should TALK TO HIM about this situation. after all, HE WOULD KNOW!
