Okay I was dating this guy for 7 months. We dated 3, almost 4 years ago and we broke up because his mom said our maturity levels were completely different. I was 14 and he was 17.
Now Im 17 & hes 20.
The day after we broke up, he made me a pinky promise that he would propose to me on my graduation day in 2011.
A couple of months ago, he came by to see my family because while we dated, my family got really attached to him. When he came over, I got butterflies, and I felt as if my knees could colopase. Its been 3 years, and yet he still gets to me. The way he says my name made my heart skip beats like crazy, and the way he smells just gives me chills. Butt we was sitting in his truck and he was bringin back old memories that I barely remembered, and that made me happy because he didnt forget. He told me once again that the pinky promise he made me was still going to happen, and that he was going to ask me back out when I was 18 because of the age thing. He cried, and he said he was still in love with me, and it scares him because he has got over all the girls he has dated, but not me.
Why do I still have feelings for him? Are my feelings real, or was I just excited and nervous to see him? And how do I know if he's being serious? He broke my heart once, I dont want it to happen again.
Additional info, added Monday September 6 2010, 11:21 pm: Yeah, well to this fairytale, is NO happy ending. I had a boyfriend of four months. (theres a blog i posted on here titled "mixed emotions are killing me" read that for details.
well me and michael broke up sunday cuz of the feelings for thomas. I called Thomas today, and told him how I felt and he said I didnt know what love was, and he is 20 and doesn tknow what it is either. he said when he finds a girl that he can look at everyday, and his heart skip a beat, he knows he will be in a love. and i said so pretty much everything you told me in your truck was a lie, and he said no. I started balling my eyes out, and he said he wasnt nothing to cry about, and told me to leave him alone because i was ruining his fishing time.
and i told him if he doesnt know what love is than apparently he isnt in love with me, especially since he don tknow what it is.
he told me to delete his number out of my phone, so now im completely confused? i told him if my feelings wasnt real, they still would be as strong as they are past 3 years.
But, I think you 2 are meant to be together. I also feel as though the feelings you are feeling towards him are real. He was your first love, which is always something special. I'll always have some sort of feeling for my first love...as does everyone. Don't let this one slip between your fingers. He seems really sweet. And if what he said bothered you, talk to him about it. Do the "Shutup and Kiss Me" move! [ xxemilyfeil's advice column | Ask xxemilyfeil A Question ]

He sounds like a good guy to keep around from what you have said. he seems like hes in love with you and you seem like your in love with him. I think you should listen to those feelings. i dont know if you believe in the whole soul mate thing but i do and it sounds like to me you guys are soulmates and meant to be together. Beautiful story. [ Racks's advice column | Ask Racks A Question ]
sunshine1232 answered Sunday September 5 2010, 10:44 pm: Yes i do think your feelings are real i think you
still have feelings for him because you didn't get over him fully even though it's been 3 years
it could of been also because you were excited and
nervous that's a possiblity he wouldn't of said that he was going to propose to you or he would ask you back out again if it wasn't true i think he plans on keeping his promise i don't think he'd go back on his word & break the promise after he already made it and told you there's nothing you two can do about the age difference expect wait until your legal he's serious because he said that he's still in love with you and he never got over you he wouldn't say it for the sake of saying it..it seems like he meant it yes he broke your heart but there was nothing you or him could do about the age difference at the time it was one of those things that you had no control over he deserves another chance to prove
to you that you can trust him and that things will change and the past won't repeat itself(: [ sunshine1232's advice column | Ask sunshine1232 A Question ]
Sydney1o1 answered Sunday September 5 2010, 10:27 pm: Dear Confused Still,
Well with the new information you gave me, I'm so sorry but I would definitly have to tell you that dating him would not be the best thing to do. If hes a "sexaholic" thats just red flag right there that he may just want to be with you again to have a good time. Also, if he may be a cheater that is a definite no. Never date a cheater, trust me. As for the communication issues you have that also doesn't help you to have a good healty relationship. I would just get out of it now:/ I wish i could tell you something different but you already said that you didn't have a good feeling about it.. but whatever you do is ultimitly up to you. Good luck!
