so, here is my deal.
i had this boyfriend for about 2 months whom i had been friends with for quite a while before. i didn't realize it until he told me but he had liked me A LOT for a long time before he asked me out but felt he could never win me over- not true-anyway, after being ';a couple,'; in fact the school's ';perfect couple,'; i broke up with him because i didnt ever really like him more than a friend. i still feel horrible about the break up as i know i hurt him, and i kinda regret ending things because there is no one else i like and he is the absolute perfect guy- tall, handsome, INCREDIBLY polite and mannerly, fairly smart and everyone's favorite guy- but i didn't want to keep dating him because i felt like i was lying to myself as i really wasn't 'in love' or at least 'in like' with him. i just looked as him as a friend adn called him my boyfriend. the vibes are good now, as we still hang out and go to movies but i still wonder if i made the right decision?Teenage Boyfriend Advice Please?
you cant afford to send him mixed messages as this will likely ruin your friendship and any hopes of you getting back with him.
why did you decide to become a couple in the first place if you knew that you didnt like him more than a friend? did you at the time but have since changed? these are the questions you need to ask yourself and come to the conclusion about whether you want to be just friends or more.
appreciating that he is handsome, charming, etc is not the same as fancying him and so you need to decide which side of the fence you are on.
he may be hurting right now over his loss of you as a girlfriend but if you work well as close friends then there is no reason you cant both be happy like that. is it worth risking your friendship in order to become more? because if a month down the line you realise you dont want to be with him again... you will find it really difficult to recover from hurting him againTeenage Boyfriend Advice Please?
If this guy isn't the type of person you think about all the time and desperately want to see/be with him, then you made the right decision. If he is, maybe you should keep thinking about what you want it to be like, and start your relationship again and explain to him that it might take time to really be 'in love' with him. I think you should just stop worrying and go with the flow.
: )
You DID the right decision, at least for now.
Do you realize what it takes to be truth to yourself and to someone that you love, even tough it hurts?
You have had such a courage to do this and you should be proud of yourself. If you staying with him he prob would have fallen in love even more and you would have hurt him 10 times more and make him hurt you.
On top of this don't forget that you don't have a magic ball for the future. You don't know what destiny has in it for you and him. Maybe true friends or maybe more.
For this time you have made the right decision and don't let awkwardness or any resentment from him stop seeing each other.
Relationship ARE difficult! It takes energy and commitment. This is the price we pay for having our dearest friends and our unique love next to us, one day, long in the future, when it will all unwind and we'll go forever.
Good luck.
wow, your a good person, most girls would have never left him, and stayed with him just to be ';cool'; or whatever, but i think you made the right decision because there's no reason to stay in a relationship if you don't truly like him/her, overall its better in the long run for him because if you continued to go and you went out for a long period of time, he would probably develop more feelings for you than he already did, so i def say you made the right decision.
