    There is this guy who I dated for about a year now, and we just recently broke it off. I had doubts about weather he was the one for me before, but I pushed foward to see where things would go. He says that he is done because he tired of arguing with me all the time. When half the arugements we had were because of him. Anyway why am I feeling like a loser when he is?

    So, there is this guy that I've liked for about a year now. We have gone to school together from my kindergarten year to my 6th grade year (in his case from his 2nd grade year to his 8th grade year). I'm in 7th grade now, and in 6th grade we were pretty close. We used to txt a lot, and now very rarely do we talk, and see each other. In the beginning of 7th grade he was actually texting me, and I would of course reply. Now though, nothing, nonia! How do I start talking to him again, and making him notice, and think about me? I just don't know...

    So there is this guy that i have liked for a little while. he told me when i first met him that he was trying to get over another girl. We met through a mutual friend and have never met in person, but we text constantly. So far we have soooo much in common. We are both very athletic, but a little nerdy. We text non-stop all the time, but we are both soooo busy to ever hangout. Now all of a sudden we haven't been texting or making plans. I don't know what to do because i think him and the old girl have been reconnecting and i have been reconecting with my ex, but i want to be with him. please help me!!

    If I'm still not over him for six months, then what? The only things I've been seeing in other men are things I miss in my ex. I can't get over him.

    I broke up with my ex almost 2 years ago, but I really wanted to stay friends with him. At first it was heaps awkward but then I was closer to him then i ever was when I dated him, I had no attraction physically to him which took a lot of the pressure off. But the other day he told me I was the most beautiful girl he had ever known and that he still loved me, after two years he had never stopped. Now I'm so confused because I let him down easy because I don't want to date him, I just feel like though every time we talk its just him trying to convince me to be with him. I really don't want to lose our friendship but I know that we just need a break from talking. Arrrrgh boys are so confusing!!!!
