MY ex boyfriend of 2 years broke up with me because he said he wanted to be alone and needed to "grow up" some. I understand but he wants to be friends, he left me with this and said that he wasnt in any attempt to get my hopes up that he meant this " you are my first love and i want you to be my last" How would you interpret it?
HyperactiveMiss answered Saturday June 25 2005, 5:13 pm: Well there are actually two ways to interpret it...
1) He did say he needed time to grow up. He probably wants that time and stay friends with you, until he thinks you two are ready for a relationship again. What he said could mean he wants you to be the first and last love of his life.
2) This is a darker side to it. It could mean he doesn't want to fall in love again. It could mean you were the first and last love of his life, and he isn't willing to ever fall in love with ANYONE, including you, again.
So there are two sides to it. #1 sounds more reasonable. However, you have to think of the other possibilities, just in case.

Although he may need to take his time to "grow-up" he is doing something very smart by wanting to continue your relationship, even if it is only as friends for a while. And by saying that "you are my first love and i want you to be my last" he probably means that as long as you two stay in touch, when his alone time is over, he will come back to you. This is a mature step in the relationship I think and I really hope that things work out. Hope I helped! Just keep smiling and if it is meant to be, it will happen!

It is very good that he wants to "grow up". Sometimes it's hard to do that when you're protected in a relationship, though some people can pull it off. If he wants to take some time off, give him space. Be supportive, listening, kind and be his friend! Stay close to him, know him well. When he's "grown up" enough, he'll let you know. I think he wants to be with you as long as he can, but he knows that he's got to grow up and prepare for the future. You didn't say how old you are, or how old he is, but if he's in his late teens (16-19) then he probably realized that he needs to take time off to learn to be a good supportive father and provider. One day, that boy is going to get married and have kids. He needs to know how to raise and protect and provide for a family, and all he was saying is "I need a little time to know how to do the things that will be important later on. Give me some time, and I'll come back to you. Don't worry." He loves you. That's incredibly truthful and romantic. Stay strong, don't give up on him. I wouldn't suggest going out with other guys during this period of time that you're waiting, because you'll get your heart broken and break his. He will think that you're uninterested in him, and that's not what you want, is it?

xxspillmyheartforyouxx answered Saturday June 25 2005, 2:32 pm: It sounds like he either wants a little break apart from you for a little while and plans on going back to you in the future to stay together! or that he doesn't want to fall in love anymore he just wants to date around with you being his first and last love? hopefully its that you two will end up together. best of luck to you! ♥ [ xxspillmyheartforyouxx's advice column | Ask xxspillmyheartforyouxx A Question ]
