i was dating this guy, let's name him buttercup. we WERE supposed to go out, but then he was pretty busy with summer school and all of that stuff. and then, i didn't really like him anymore, so i told him so i wouldn't lead him on or anything. and i told him the reason why i started not liking him anymore, and ever since.. i haven't talked to him. it's almost been two months now. on the same day i told him, we decided to stay away from each other for a month or two because we noticed that we were just rushing into our feelings and we didn't take our time getting to know each other and all of that. so we stopped talking for a while, and my best friend was there for me. and let's just call him, blossom. and then i started liking blossom... and then i went out with blossom later on. and then buttercup went around telling people that i "played him, ditched him, then went out with another guy". i'm not a player or anything like that, because at least i didn't talk to him at the same time as blossom... because i couldn't get over buttercup, blossom was there for me. and it's about a month now since i've talked to him. and the thing is... i want us to still be friends, but i'm not sure if he's still mad at me or anything. but like he says "the past is the past". i know i have to message him.. and he'd probably want an explanation.. but what is there to explain?
i started understanding what he meant by "playing him, ditching him, and went out with another guy" because after him, i went out with blossom a week or two after. and he's probably thinking that i stopped liking him just to go out with blossom. no matter how i put it, he's probably thinking that. and he was probably expecting me to like him & wait for him for a month or two... without talking to him. isn't that kind of hard to be waiting and trying to like someone for a month or two, and you basically talk to only one guy which was always there for you, which is blossom.
what should i say to him? this is bothering me.. i don't want us to become enemies.. i want us to talk as friends. i don't want to talk to him after me and blossom breaks up, because that'd just be weird. what should i say? PLEASE & THANK YOU!

Bluefrogg answered Sunday August 3 2008, 9:40 am: I'm guessing that you and "Buttercup" have the same group of friends or are in a high school or college environment, though feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Though it may not be possible, it's probably best just not to talk to him at all. He's already made his assumptions even though they are wrong. If someone asks you directly what happened, then explain exactly what happened. Relationships come and go, and you will eventually find the person who's really right for you. Hope this helps!
