OKay this is a question for the guys.... My boyfriend is 18... And we've been dating about 11 months, took a one month break because he need "space" and to get his life together... The whole time we we're on the break he seemed to be more nice then when were together... And when we got back together again. He's trying to hiding the fact that he's asking for his friends [that would be girls...] numbers. Being really shady. The last time I saw him before the big break we had like a huge bond. Stayed up all night just talking about anything and everything. I felt so close to him... Then he flipped out, and said " I need a break... Blah blah blah" Two weeks later. Have any of you done this to a girl? And if so, why? I get the feeling he still wants me around. But he wants to do, what he wants to do.
I'm sorry you feel this way. Have you guys talked about hopes and expectations for each other? There is a classical mistake people make about assuming their partners want the same thing as them without actually discussing it. From your post it seems to me like he doesn't want an affectionate commitment. I may be wrong. People can still make very profound emotional connections with others and not want to be sexually commited. So...I'd talk openly to him. That being said, he may not be mature enough to talk sincerely about his feelings (or even know his feelings). Few people are. Best of luck and keep us posted.
Geez - is there such a shortage of guys in your area that you're willing to be treated this way? It ain't gonna get better, hon. Cut your losses.
I don't think he knows what he wants... he either is confused or he is afraid of how serious things are getting... it may be best to move on.
