I'd tell you my name, but I want to keep this anonymous...so anyway, I have this problem with someone called, let's just say "Robert". Since last year, we had been going out for ten months, up until the 11th of May, when he quickly dumped me. He said that he wasn't happy with me, mainly because I have this little issue with stretching the truth....don't know why, I just do. I tried to tell him that I don't do that to him at all, and he wouldn't listen to me. He says that he still loves me and always will, but as of right now, he wants to be friends. It's been almost two weeks now and I understand where he's coming from, and I have tried to respect him and his decision, but I want to date him again. What should I do? I want him back.
Additional info, added Sunday May 22 2005, 6:55 pm: He wants to be friends right now and he said that sometime later on in the future we can be more, but I honestly don't think that will happen. He'll find someone else soon enough because he's already telling me he wants us to date other people, so he can see if I'm really the "one" for him. But he doesn't realize that there is more than just one for each of us....or at least that's what I think. Anyway, help me out people...what should I do about him? Should I forget about him and move on, or should I try to get him back...and if so how the heck do I do that. LOL?. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?

I mean no one wants to be with a liar, not that you are. Just be yourself around him and try to talk to him, so him that you two can never be "just friends."

karenR answered Monday May 23 2005, 12:55 am: You will probably have to change the truth stretching to get him back. With everyone not just him. It will be tough but you can do it with a little effort. Just start thinking about it before you say anything.
It doesn't look real good for your relationship. I don't think I would give up yet though. Work on telling it like it is instead of stretching the truth...Then approach him again. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

BWvolley answered Sunday May 22 2005, 8:18 pm: well, if you do want him back don't make it obvious...play hard to get. You should look around for new guys too! It is always fun to be single, ause you do need to know if he is the one so maybe it is good that yall will date other people. and if yall were meant to be, it will happen later on when it is supposed to happen. Right now, just let him have his space and see if things work out. BUT PLAY HARD TO GET IF HE COMES BACK....you never want to look like you have been waiting for him this whole time [ BWvolley's advice column | Ask BWvolley A Question ]
