Question Posted Tuesday September 27 2005, 6:33 pm
my boyfriend and i have been going out for about a month, but i dont really see him as a boyfriend because he doesnt really treat me as one. i feel like we are better as friends but i dont know what to do. some people say i should break up with him, but others say to tell him to start treating me as a girlfriend and let it last longer. what do i do?
If you really like the guy and want to continue your boyfriend/ girlfriend relationship, then you need to have a talk with him about it. Maybe he just isn't sure how hes supposed to act.
Communication is a must in any good relationship so don't be afraid to speak up.
If you would rather be just friends, there's nothing at all wrong with that either. Just make sure you are the one making the decision. Friends mean well but it should be your decision. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Try not to get angry or anything just calmly talk about it. If it doesn't get better after a week or so then break it off with him. But if you don't have feelings for him anymore then break it off.

I mean, you have been going out for 3 months, so you should be able to talk to him by now, right? So just ask him to talk, and tell him how you feel. If he doesn't seem to care or just denies it and doesn't try to help make the situation better, I would break up with him, but if he actually looks like he's thinking about how the relationships been going, then give him a while. See if his actions change. If they don't, you should break up. Because you don't want to be stuck with a person who doesn't treat you like they even like you...trust me, I know. There are plenty of other guys to date in your life time.
