I've liked this boy forv bout a year and a half now. And he know I like him. We were about to go out one time, but then he got back with his ex. then they soon broke up and he was back to me. I told him that i didnt want to be his rebound girl and i didnt think it was worth getting hurt over and over again. He said that i was his best friend and that he didnt know i felt like that..and all that stuff. Now, I know that he will never like me as a girlfriend, just as a best friend. How do I get over him? After i loved him all this time?
Michele answered Sunday June 10 2007, 2:51 pm: I think you should stick with your initial gut feelings about not wanting to be his re-bound girl. I think you were right to say that. And that would have hurt worse, than this does now. Women (and girls) posess great powers of intuition, but to often we don't pay attention to it, and that is when we get hurt. If he really likes you and want to make you believe that he would not let you be just a re-bound girl, he would act in a manner that would give you confidence in him. But I guess he is not doing that. I know it hurts because you still care for him. It won't change until you find someone else. I can only tell you that love is so much better when both people involved love each other the same and mutually respect each others feelings.
Remember this for the future:
All of us, all of our lives, will run across temptation, when we are in a committed relationship with someone else. If we are selfish we give in to the temptation, even when we know it will hurt the person we profess to love. If we are emotionally healthy, we say no to the tempation, because we wouldn't want to hurt the person we are committed too. When you find THAT kind of person, then you will not have to worry ab out being a re-bound girl.
