female, 15, 10th grade
..
okay, so I've been on and off with this guy Jake for about 8 months now.. so we had broken up in the spring and eventually got back toegether.. but lately, he's become very clingy.. and with school starting back up theres a lot of new guys I want to meet. We never became official after the spring break-up.. so I've been trying to enforce the "just friends" fact. and he'll be like yeah thats fine, but then be all lovey dovey. but lately, i've started to form a crush on this other guy, Tim. Me and him are starting to talk all the time, and he's really cool and fun to be around.. and I'm trying to get away from Jake, yet I still have feelings for him.. like everytime we've broken up or been close to it.. we always end up getting back together.. we're kind of like one of those couples that will always be a couple.. but I just dont know what to do with the whole Tim thing cause I want to get to know him.. and I hate guys that are clingy, sort of the way Jakes starting to be..sorry this is so long haha
I think you need to really explain to Jake that you do not think the 2 of you are "officially" going out, and that you want to try seeing new people.
Tell him that it does not necessarily mean that you will never go out with Jake again, just say that you want to try other people.
I know that sounds a little cliche, but it sounds like that is what you want more.
I mean you are only a sophomore in high school...you have soo much ahead of you, so just live life how YOU want to...experiment around a little bit, have fun!
Well, I wish you good luck with everything...and if you need anything else, just send it to my inbox!
