You shouldn't let him leaving effect your relationship and your feelings for him. If you really like him and think there may be a future then I say you should stick with it, but if you feel as though you don't care about him in the way that will lead to a future together then let him go. Don't be afraid of commitement but don't be afraid of letting him go either.Figure out how you really feel about him and then go from there.

If you don't want to get close to him, then don't. Like you said, he's leaving in a couple months. Just tell him you want to be friends. I know that the concept of breaking up is scary, but you're young. You'll meet lots of other potential boyfriends before you know it. I know that sounds cliche, but it's true. The fact is, if he is stressing you out, he is not worth being with. Listen to your gut. If something doesn't feel right, then nothing is.
P.S. I would really appreciate it if you used a "w" instead of a "vv" in the future. It's really hard to read. I'm sure other columnists would appreciate it as well. :) [ sugarplum07's advice column | Ask sugarplum07 A Question ]
