ok so i met this guy in the beginning of the semester and hes super sweet we went out for a month & he broke up with me in the cruelest way possible. he felt really bad and due to the lack of me being able to stay mad at him i still talked to him. now that classes have changed i havnt really seen him for like almost a month. i think he still likes me bc we still talk on aim & we wanna hang out but i hear rumors & my friend told me he couldnt decide between 8 [yes 8!] girls. after that i was completely over him but now im wondering if i would consider seeing him again. hes sweet REALLY funny and cute but he makes me so upset. should i keep him as my friend or try to make it something more??

AskTammy answered Saturday April 1 2006, 6:28 am: He doesn't sound like he respects you very much, and you need to have enough respect for yourself to know that you don't want to be involved with someone like that. So he's a popular guy who is attracted to many girls. He thinks you're cool as well, but he's young and would probably love to "get with" all of the girls he thinks are hot. What makes a relationship work is when he actually respects you, sees you as good sweet and innocent, but confident enough to stand up to him and make sure he treats you with the utmost of respect at all times. It sounds like you were too infatuated, too "understanding" and didn't stand up for yourself when he was crossing lines the first time you went out. If you want to change the way he views you now, you will have some work to do, but start off by ignoring next time he trys to talk to you on aim or when he asks you to hang out say "you really were so rude to me before - i don't know if i should give you a second chance... how do i know you've changed, what are you going to do to make it up to me?", then sit back and let him work his butt off to get you to hang out again. And don't give in with sweet words- all of these guys are charmers. Demand flowers and/or romantic gestures! [ AskTammy's advice column | Ask AskTammy A Question ]

I really think though you should keep it friends with him but still hang with him so if you do feel something coming back you can still have the chance to go back BUT if he starts to hurt you then you really shouldnt stay in it I think before you get back with him you should really find out if they are big feelings or feelings you could just get over like a crush because you really dont want to be hurt again.
FiestyPoet answered Saturday April 1 2006, 12:47 am: I think you should keep in mind how he broke up with you when you two were dating. And think about the fact that he upsets you so much. Could you handle being in a relationship with someone who hurts you so much? And someone who has already broke your heart once? If he is acting this way now just being your friend I really don't think he is going to act any better having you as his girlfriend. If you go back to being his girlfriend he may feel that because you are his girlfriend it makes it ok to treat you the way he is. And don't even worry about those other girls. He is going to choose who he wants and no one else can change that. I hope this helps and good luck with everything. Hugs Fiesty [ FiestyPoet's advice column | Ask FiestyPoet A Question ]
