NikkiM answered Monday December 25 2006, 8:49 am: You have to do what your heart tells you to do! Do you really want to be with him and if not then tell him because it is unfair on him if you are with him when you dont want to be. He might be heartbroken at first but just think really you are doing him a faver. Just explain to him that you do really like him but you think it would be better if you were just friends. As for the other guy who you like, if i were you then i would give it some time before you get with him.Hope i could help, good luck and merry christmas!:D [ NikkiM's advice column | Ask NikkiM A Question ]
kiran answered Monday December 25 2006, 12:48 am: This guy seems like he really likes you. Your love for him is dying though because you see another guy who seems more interesting. About marriage I say wait and go out with him a little longer because that seems pretty short to know everything to know about him. Talk to him about the trapping you in thing because thats not right, you have your own life too and he can't control you. You are not married to him now so he can't control you so basically talk to him about this and everything will be settled. [ kiran's advice column | Ask kiran A Question ]
Depressed_Poet answered Sunday December 24 2006, 11:50 pm: In my opinion, if you are constantly thinking about him in negative ways he isn't the one for you. But you have to figure it out on your own. (Not trying to be rude) but we don't all have "fairy God mothers" that tell us what to do and how to do it right when we need help. My advice is, if he is being a birden explain to him that if you will continue dating he MUST accept the fact that you have your own life too and guy friends that won't be more than that. He has to accept that especially if he has girls that are friends too and expects you not to become angry with him if he has acted this way around you and your guy friends. As for marrying the man, everyone has doubts and that's nothing to be afraid of. But to me, 11 months is just too short to tell what kind of a person he is. I know you've known him for a very long time on many different levels but it depends if you are ready for the committment. Talk to him about how you're feeling. If he's sensable he will understand and wait for marriage if you are un-easy about this.
Hope I helped! <3

the_sweeter_heart answered Sunday December 24 2006, 10:04 pm: This guy seems like such a sweet guy. It would be wrong for you to break up with him when he's so in love with you... but your feelings for him are dying, and he's trying to keep it alive.
This is a really messy situation. I think, though, you would miss this boyfriend when you break up with him, and only becoming tired of him because you're eyeing another guy that you think is more interesting. I think you should stick with your current boyfriend.
Talk to your boyfriend about the trapping thing though, because that;s really not right. Isn't it like the only thing about him that's imperfect? That he's too serious? Tell him to loosen up a bit and bring him to parties that you go to.
If you really think you can't handle being with your current boyfriend, you have to be honest. Tell him you know how much this relationship means to him, but that he's more like a friend or brother or whatever than a boyfriend. Tell him that with his charms, he'll get a better girl. Think about it really hard though, because you never know how much you'll miss something until it's gone.
xlickablex answered Sunday December 24 2006, 9:58 pm: you have to be honest with yourself and to him. If he hates you doing all these things like getting jealous and pissed when you go out and party and hang out with your friends then he's trying to cut you off from your friends and thats never a good thing into a relationship. First its partying and male friends, what next? all your friends, your family? If he's trapping you, you need out. Usually when those kind of relationships continue, it just gets worse and worse. Hope I helped and I hope this works out for you. Have a merry christmas =] [ xlickablex's advice column | Ask xlickablex A Question ]
