I can't help but like him.. Should I just forget? (sorry it'
Question Posted Tuesday May 8 2007, 2:36 pm
16/f-- okay. So I started hanging out with a guy from another school (17) a few weeks ago. He had a girlfriend that he didn't want to be with. He was only with her because he didn't want to dump her before prom. We started spending a lot of time together, and he told me he fell for me. He dumped her, but told her he'd still go to prom with her. He was also going to be taking me to my prom. Now, we have a lot of mutual friends, and they all told me what a great, wonderful, nice guy he was, so I let myself really start to like him. He told me how amazing I am and how I mean a lot to him. Then, when he went to his prom with his ex, he ended up getting back together with her. We didn't talk much for awhile, because he felt super bad, and I was hurt. But he was still going to my prom with me. So we went, and it was a little awkward at first, then it got fun. But he told one of our mutual friends that he wishes he would have chosen me. Now, he tells me he still wants to stay close to me. He came to my house last night to talk. He told me how unhappy he was with his girlfriend. He said that he would have hated himself if he didn't give her another chance (Which I completely understand). He said that she didn't change though, and he just looked at me for a minute and said that he was an idiot, and that he can't believe he messed everything up. Then he hurried up and changed the subject.
Now, I had to leave out some details to the story to make this a reasonable length, so those are just the basics.
A lot of my friends think I should just totally forget about him. However, I understand where he is coming from, I really do. And I can't help but like him. A lot. Yeah, he did some shady things, but I'm forgiving. But I don't know if I should be. What do you think I should do? Should I just keep being there for him? Should I totally forget him? Should I tell him how I feel (I'm afraid to spill everything because I don't want to sound desperate)
Any help would be great, I'm totally confused. Thanks.

If he dumbed his gf for you, but then eneded back up with her, and then once again wants you back, i'd say hes just as stuck as you are. He prob. likes you both..but i do say he likes you more. Just talk to him more, hang out if you want to, and just see where things go. Your not going to sound desperate at all..so don't worry about that. Your just saying what you feel :) don't be afraid to show your true feelings [ Brezzer12's advice column | Ask Brezzer12 A Question ]
