A boy and I had gotten really close, and I REALLY like him, more than I should. The other day he told me he cannot persue anything with me because wrestling is coming up and he doesn't think it would be at all fair to me since he is so dedicated to it. I understand, and he said we can be close friends and see how we are after wrestling is over. The problem is, wrestling lasts about 3 months, and so far he has definitely been avoiding me. He won't talk to me. Do you think he was using wrestling as an excuse to end things? I don't know, but it's been hurting me a lot since I like him SO much. I'm trying to be mature about it and to understand and not push, but I'm so upset.
Jeanne answered Saturday November 17 2007, 5:38 pm: Well, I hate to say it, but yeah... he was probably using the wrestling as an excuse. Guys can be big cowards when it comes to this stuff, and the last thing they want to do is tell a girl "Sorry, I'm not really that interested." So they come up will all kinds of lame excuses and hope we'll get the hint. But a lot of times we don't get the hint. We want to believe there's still a chance, so we ignore the truth that's right there in plain sight. And the truth is... if a guy really, really likes a girl, he's not going to let ANYTHING get in his way. He's not gonna take any chances of letting her get away. And that's the kind of guy you want, right? One who is so crazy about you that he will do whatever it takes to be with you. Apparently, this guy isn't the one. So my advice is... cut your losses and move on, and look for a guy who has the same feelings for you that you have for him. Cuz he's out there somewhere, trust me.

I guess it would depend on the guy.
But chances are, it probably hurts him just as much as it hurts you. Maybe even more, cause he knows that he`s hurting you also. He probably thinks the more time he spends with you, the more it`ll hurt him & make him realize how much he really misses you, so he`s just trying to distance himself for now. I know waiting for him can be hard, but if you really like him, then I think you should. Sometimes the more you`re away from someone, the more you realize how much you really like them. So in the end, I think this will bring you two closer.
I doubt he was using it as an excuse to end things though.
dragonessfire01 answered Saturday November 17 2007, 5:03 pm: yes, im sorry but its most likely he was. but dont worry, you'll find someone better than that. if he really wanted to be with you, he wouldnt have ended it that way. he would have tried to work things out. no matter how busy he was he could at least call. guys are jackasses. dont worry. a true man wont ditch you no matter what the circumstances.
