Question Posted Wednesday November 14 2007, 5:03 pm
I'm 15, female.
I like my ex boyfriend still. We were taking "break" from each other, and he started like hating me cause he THOUGHT I was talking to another guy, but I wasn't. Well, then he started talking to another girl, but we all know he didn't really like her. He's around a lot, and I really know he still likes me even though he hasn't said anything, but we have had a thing for each other for about 4 years now. When were together I want to be with him so bad, and I know he does too, I can tell. Neither one of us will make the first move, but I feel like I can't because I don't want him to have that power over me, knowing he can get what he wants without dating me. I want to talk to him but he answers "I don't know" to just about anything you ask him ever. I'm so confused and so upset all the time, and I'm tired of dealing with it. I can't just "get over him" because gee, I've tried doing that for about the past year now. He's 17, male. What do I do?
If you really believe in your heart that he still has feelings for you, the only way you're going to find out if that's true or if the relationship can work again - is to make the first move. I know, it isn't an easy thing and can make you seem "powerless," but it's the only way to really figure it out and it will either let you know if something is or isn't going to work. And I think you really need to know that soon, because it sounds like you're really depressed over this (as I would be, if I were in your situation).
Let's say things work out and the two of you enter a relationship again - that's great. However, if it goes sour and things do not work out, your best bet is to get over him. Yes, it will take time, you may not ever be completely over him, but it's best if you focus on other things. Your priorities, not boys. It's a difficult thing to do, especially in your situation, but it's just about your only choice if the two of you don't get back together.
I wish you the best of luck, and I hope things work out. If they don't, it's just something that isn't meant to be, and you'll find a better one someday. [ LagunaBabe's advice column | Ask LagunaBabe A Question ]
