I'm 17 and I have started going out with someone a few days ago. I have liked him for awhile and before we started going out he was messing around with another girl but promised me he had called it off with her. I want to believe and I'm trying to trust him, but this weekend I went camping and I tried calling him to say hi but he wasn't home so I called his best friend wondering what he was doing but he wasn't with him. He finally called me back and said he had been driving around but he wouldn't tell me with who. I'm scared that he was with the other girl. And also at school I show affection to my b/f's but not alot to smother them. He doesn't show any affection at all except when we quickly kiss before I leave for class. I know we just started dating but he shows all this affection for me when were alone but none if someones around. What do I do? please help me.

Daisy answered Monday May 2 2005, 7:21 am: The main thing to ruin a relationship is when you don't trust the person you are with. You have to find out if he is still with this girl. If he is then you have to do the right thing and break it off with him. He can't get away with it and all he is thinking about are his own feelings and not your own. If he is already doing this and you've only just startied going yout then he will keep doing it and will make you feel really bad. Is there anyone you can ask who can tell you the truth?

At school, he probably is embarrassed to give PDAs (public displays of affection) because he doesn't want to do it in from of his friends, no matter how mature they are. Otherwise, he just might not be ready. He might not want to rush into it any more. The time that he was driving around, he might have been going by himself. If he really cares about you, ask him who he was driving around with and if he evades the answer, tell him you want a straightforward answer. If he continues to talk around it, tell him that you don't want a boyfriend who keeps secrets inbetween the two of you, or something to that effect, and if he still won't tell you just get rid of him. If he evades the answer too much, you can pretty much assume that he was driving around with the other girl.
Good luck:-) [ mapetiteodette's advice column | Ask mapetiteodette A Question ]
babygrl101 answered Sunday May 1 2005, 3:51 pm: It sounds to me that he's kind of shy around other people. Some guys don't like other people to be all in they business when they with they girl, you know? I mean I'm sure he cares and wants to be with you. I don't know how your boyfriend is, but I'm guessing he's just like almost every other guy that has a girl. He just likes to be all mushy around you when you two are alone. I don't know--I don't think he's with the other girl, but I do think if it's bothering you that he's not showing enough love in public, you really need to talk to him. Hope I helped some.
