I don't know how young you guys are, but this fellow seems like he's already a player. I don't like what he's putting you through, nor do I like what he's obviously putting other girls through. Actually sweetie, he sounds like a jerk. OK, we all like jerks at one time or another in our lives - even women go through this. As I said to one other questioner, there is an old saying that goes like this, "Burn me once, shame on you. Burn me twice, shame on me." That means that you've been allowing yourself to get burned over and over again by this guy and I would have to ask myself why? It sure sounds like you like something about this guy, but by now, aren't you getting tired of his games? It sounds as though you've made yourself available to him whenever he decides he wants to come crawling back to you. That then allows him to continue doing to you what he's been doing because he knows you'll take him back no matter what.

I know you said that this time feels different to you and that his friends are asking you if you like him or not - I'm guessing they haven't done this in the past? - but think real hard, and ask yourself if this really, really is different than how it has been in the past. OK, so his guy friends are approaching you this time and that may give you hope. I can understand that. And, he says he's changing. That's unfortunately a great line to give to girls when a guy is trying to get in good favor with them. I personally don't think he's had much time TO change. Sounds to me like he needs a few years to go before he can honestly change his ways.

I think you're putting yourself in a terribly emotionally draining situation by even considering this guy to be in your life anymore. Try to be the one who makes the mature choice to have this merry-go-round stop! Surely there are other guys out there who would be much more fun to be with, you wouldn't be on an emotional roller coaster all the time, you wouldn't have to worry if he's already got his eye on another girl, etc. As I've said before to others, if you keep yourself tied to this guy in whatever way, you're closing the door to allowing other, sweet, kind guys in your life. Guys who will respect you and not play head games with you.

So for now, I'd distance myself from this guy. If you're really, really stuck on him, at least make yourself unavailable for a while (a good while!) and see how things go. You may find that you discover someone else more deserving of you to put your energy into, and that you really don't like this guy as much as you think you do. You also may force his hand, in that he will be so stunned that you are not available to him just because he's come back, that it will help him try to truly change. But beware. As I said above, I am betting this guy is NOT ready to change, no matter what YOU do. YOU can't make anyone change, so don't even spend you're energy trying. Why would he want to change right now when all the girls he's hopping around with keep accepting him back into their lives?!

You deserve A LOT better and a good guy is out there for you. Allow yourself to experience being treated well. Don't fall into a rut that is so difficult to get out of. I wish you luck and I am hoping that you open that door to someone else. Let me know how things end up. I'm guessing you'll make the healthy and right decision if you really think about how you're being treated - which is very badly. And that stinks!
