It seems like my boyfriend doesn't like me anymore..
Question Posted Monday December 31 2012, 3:24 pm
I'm a 13 year old girl. My boyfriend and I have been dating for 9 months and it seems like he doesn't like me anymore. He doesn't hang out with me, never calls, doesn't keep his promises, and he never invites me to his house. I really like him and he's told me the same but I don't know anymore.
The first few months are spent at the 'honeymoon' stage, where both of the couple are getting to know each other, and are progressing futher the relationship-this is when less arguments occur.
Then there gets to be a point when you know each other, and you enter a new phase in the relationship. Strong couples survive it, and alot break up at this point, because they don't understand that arguments are bound to occur at some point, and it's if you can work through them as a couple that makes you closer.
I think this relationship of yours needs a break. However long that may be. Because, absense really does make the heart fonder, so you need to talk to him about it.
Try not to do what alot of girls do and give the guy the driving seat-whether you want to or not this relationship would be better after a break.
Sit him down and explain how you think it's lost it's way, and that you need some time apart to focus on other commitments. That will give you a feel of whether or not you want to get back together. Don't be scared to break it up, because if you don't do something soon he will, except he may do it with the intention of not getting back together because he may not understand the point about all couples becoming slightly distant.
You're only 13, but I can tell your mature for you age compared to other 13 year old on here. If after the break you do want to get back together (likely as 9 months means something) then thats great. If not though, don't worry, you'll have become alot more maturer and experienced in the process.
