Be honest about your feelings: I think when you're having doubts about the way ahead the one person you should be telling is your other half. It affects them as much as you, after all. Had we been more upfront with each other about the fact that it wasn't working out, it certainly would've been a much cleaner finish.
Don't just focus on the negative aspects of being single: Of course it's going to hurt coming out of a relationship, but you forget the good things that come with being a free agent. Parties are more fun for a start!
Take one step at a time: When you're on the inside looking out, the prospect of being single seems a world away from what you've got. But it's not like alien territory, and my fear that I'd end up lonely and desperate proved unfounded. In some ways I look at couples now and I'm glad I'm not in their shoes!

It's quite understandable on how you trained yourself.
Get interested in things, get closer to him, and you should probably get some space---not break up.
Do some sport, or something else to take your mind off your insecurities.
But I think he really does love you.
"You don't know what you've got until it's gone."
He seems to have realized how much you mean to him.
If you don't believe him, I think that's fine for now. (I don't really believe my boyfriend when he says it either.) I don't know him personally so I can't really tell much. Is he the type of guy to lie frequently? But anyways, you should try to believe him.
TheTeenGirl answered Saturday May 13 2006, 2:37 am: I don't think that you don't love him. I definetly think the feelings are still there for him. You are just afraid of getting hurt again. These feelings are normal and the only way to get rid of them is to stay with this guy until you start getting the idea of how he really feels about you.
What you should do in the meantime is let your boyfriend know this fear you are having and let him know that you may not be acting like yourself for a little while because of these feelings. That way, he won't be under the impression that you are harder to please and that you aren't feeling the same way.
I know it may seem like you are falling too hard, and you might be, but you have to make some bounderies for yourself when it comes to relationships. Sometimes it's better to be laid back and having fun in a relationship when you are young. Young and serious relationships are hard to keep up with. These feelings that you are having will go away in time when you feel secure that he won't hurt you again.
