Question Posted Wednesday November 19 2008, 2:34 am
I'm in a pretty sticky situation. Over the summer I hooked up with a boy and we began casually dating. Initially I viewed him as a little bit of a sketchy character due to some activities he indulged in, but as time passed we began to find that we had more and more in common. I moved to college last August in a city a little over 3 hours away from home, and I thought that we were over.
He came and visited me several times, and we became very, very close. We became official once again, and I found that I really cared about him. He's very nice to me: cooks me breakfast, gives me everything that he has, treats me like a lady. Since moving to college, however, I made a really good guy friend. At first it started out casually, but as our friendship grew so did our feelings. Now we spend literally every single day, almost all day together.
I don't want to hurt my boy back at home, and I love him very much . . . but he's broke, jobless, and far away. What should I do?

If he's broke, jobless, and distance is a problem, then he needs some time to figure out his life. He might be hurt, but in the end he will realize it was for the best. If he's spending all his time focusing on you, then he can't focus on HIS life, which can make it bad for your relationship in the long run. I mean, you've got a great guy that lives close and has his priorities straight and you two have a great time together. I think that when you break up with boy A, you should continue to be his friend because this will keep you two close, even though you're not dating, so that if you DO decide you've changed your mind and want him back, he isn't an enemy. Well, goodluck! Hope I helped! :)
