Drama_Secretary answered Friday September 16 2005, 8:06 pm: Okay, it seems as though you've hid a lot of things. Now from personal experience I have made so many mistakes by not telling how I felt. Now I'm in an actual relationship where I can be truly honest, but it does take tears and it does take guts, but realize he did fall in love with the real you. And I know me telling you just to be the real you is hard and you think he doesn't trust you, but I really think he's just waiting for you to try something. If he's going through the effort of making you jealous, then obviously he wants your attention and wants you to try again. Now my suggestion is for you to find a creative way of saying it. Write a poem, let it out in a latter, write a song, make a painting with the edges filled with your feelings, etc. Whatever you are good at creativily, do. He's waiting for you to do something. You are SAYING sorry, now trying SHOWING him you are sorry. I'm crossing my fingers for you and I think you are afraid, but you shouldn't be. He fell in love with the real you, and we always carry old feelings for people, I emphasis ALWAYS unless they were very light feelings. So don't be afraid, cuz you've got him right where you want him now all you got to do is go for it! Go you! [ Drama_Secretary's advice column | Ask Drama_Secretary A Question ]
soccergurlie1220 answered Friday September 16 2005, 6:21 pm: Well i'd suggest to ask him out on a date and if you don't feel confident wear something you know make you look hot and have someone do your hair and make up so you have a second oppionon. But if you both truly do love each other you shouldn't let him he migh not eveycome back or he might think you dont lik him and giving up on you. Just listen to your heart! And i that didn't help you try asking other people frieds family who evey i'm sure they'll help! Good Luck!! [ soccergurlie1220's advice column | Ask soccergurlie1220 A Question ]
Christeena answered Friday September 16 2005, 4:53 pm: You lied and now you are dealing with the consequences. Try not to back off so much next time. If he says your apologies aren't enough, find another way. [ Christeena's advice column | Ask Christeena A Question ]
AskAndy answered Friday September 16 2005, 4:51 pm: Well, it's bad enough you had to lie about who you are, but things like this backfire and come back to kick you. If this guy is trying to make you jealous and he claims he was in love with you and he's treating you this way, even saying that he won't trust you again, he obviously is confused, and so are you. If you still love him, you need to talk to him, and actually show intrest because if your willing to open your heart to this guy you cant be shy, because love isn't shy, so you need to take time to try and get him to trust you because you can shatter trust a lot faster than you can build it. If this doesn't work, he's not worth it and and you need to go out and find a guy, maybe closer to your age, that actually loves you because this guy may not.

BecauseYouLivex3 answered Friday September 16 2005, 2:49 pm: Ok this is a tuff situation. But i'll try my best. First of all just keep trying to talk to him. Tell me him the way you are & when you blank out its because you confused and don't know what to say. You only act this way because you love him. I totally understand that !! If apolgys aren't enough than hes just an idiot. You should write him something like he did for you. Such as a poem. And write down all those feelings in it. And once you send it to him. Sign it by your name not anymonus (SP?) just by your name Lola. He would probally understand your more sorry with a poem or song about how you feel about him. If he doesn't than hes like completely not worth it. Because here you are spilling your heart for him telling him how you feel and hes not even listening probally. Just write the poem or song. Even if it sucks its the point of the poem. And it would be sucha sweet thing to do !!!! And if he just doesn't forgive you than hes an idiot. Hope I helped <3 [ BecauseYouLivex3's advice column | Ask BecauseYouLivex3 A Question ]
russianspy1234 answered Friday September 16 2005, 12:00 am: well the best thing you can do is work up the confidence and just tell him how much you like him. i mean its very obvious he likes you, he wrote you a freaking song, this is as little risk as you will ever see in the relationship game. of course he got hurt when you pretended not to get the song, he poured his soul into it. he really likes you so just ask him out for cofee after work or something like that and work from there [ russianspy1234's advice column | Ask russianspy1234 A Question ]
