I read your problem and I completely understand the situation that you are in, because I have been put in exactly the same situation.There was this guy who came over and said that he liked me and considered me as his girlfriend and I liked him too, and we even started hanging out together . Then, after awhile, everyone started telling me that he has a girlfriend, and I kept telling them the opposite, until i found out that he really does have one, and this girlfriend of him turns out to be a very close freind of mine.
I stayed with him for awhile, and i actually tried to ignore the fact that he has another girlfriend and that he loves someone else, because he kept telling me that i am prettier and nicer and that he loves me more and that same usual stuff. But then , a day after another, things didn't work out at the end, and it turned out , that he was like dating me in secret , and he didn't want anyone else to know about it, and he kept telling me that i am not allowed to tell anyone that we are dating. On the other hand, he treated her so differently and showed her so much love and care, and like showed her off everywhere and was practically crazy about her.
Now i am telling you all this, because its my job to make sure that you don't repeat the same mistake that I did when i agreed to date him although he was already dating someone else.
That is just so childish and naive and a truly low act . So don't blind yourself with his love or with some words that he tells you just so you could agree to date him. If he met you and got to know you and liked you more than his girlfriend, then he should just break up with her and be with you,but he can't date two at a time, thats just so unfair to both of you and to her more, because he knew her first and dated her first.
Honestly, Look at the title that you wrote down for your question, you think he's an asshole yourself, and you probably know that its not right that you should date him when he's dating someone else, and your confused and you don't know what to do. So take a piece of advice from someone experienced who has been through the same situation that you have been in , and knows the ending of this relationship and the consequences that follow. My piece of advice is that , you should set things straight for him, tell him that you can't be with him or date him aslong as he's with someone else, because thats just unfair and not right. Maybe he treats you well and tries to be fair and equal ,but its still not right. And if he really does love you, then he would break up with his girlfriend and chose you over her. Thats if he really does want you as he claims and tries to show you . Because its not just about the fact that your in the same school with him, so that he can show you off in school, and show her off outside school.
Thats too lame and not right at all.
So please consider what I said, and if you need anymore help or advice, then please be free to contact me.
Have a nice day:) [ Lola's advice column | Ask Lola A Question ]
