    Hey Hey,

    Been a while since i started a thread :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: anyway to the point I met this guy his name's Andrew and we went out and we got really close.. I liked him and as far as i could tell he liked me too!

    Soooo after one of our dates we came back to my place and had fun if you catch my drift... It was not full on sex so stop fantasizing :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: and we both where really happy about everything... until the next day (i swear the universe will only allow me to be happy for less than a month) and over MSN he said he did not feel "Right" about us, which got me way worried.. So we agreed to talk over the phone about it. We talked and he said i think it'll be best if we quit the dating thing and that he might not be ready for a relationship (which is understandable because his last BF died.. only around a year ago)

    Ok so now we broke up... And I'm super down about it, for the last few days i've felt like absolute crap, which would be understandable for a relationship that lasted longer but this was two weeks... if that! and i even understand why we broke up.. i guess there was something wrong, i felt it to! he was just first to call it but i'm still majorly hurt! it does not make sence to me, i barely wana leave the house at the moment.

    I guess it makes it a little worse because since the breakup was not bitter at all we still talk ALL THE TIME... TXT and the phone which I just got off a few hours ago to him.

    So in conclusion:
    1) I'm seriously hurt for somthing that i should not be hurt about!!!! like not this bad
    2) Do you think it's a good idea to stay in contact with him? it does make me feel better at times.

    Good Luck with that read :-D
    Catch ty <3

    Emotional attachment cannot be mesured in weeks or months. You obviously had very strong feeling for this guy even if your relationship was just starting out. Your feelings are valid accept them for what they are and don't try to rationalise them, feelings are not rational or logic.

    As for keeping in touch with him, you need to decide what kind of relationship you can live with. Can you live with 'being just friends' or is this just going to prolong your suffering. Some times a clean break can be really painfull the time but it is the best thing in the long run. You are the only one who can decide this.

    It might be an idea to talk to your friend, tell him what you are feeling, what you are going through. I am sure he doesn't want you to suffer and decide together what would be the best way to handle this situation.

    He may be a bit scared after losing his last boyfriend. Grief is never easy and I think it is extremely tough when it happens to young people because young people aren't supposed to die. This is his problem and something he needs to work out. It does seem like he still wants you around. He hasn't cut you out of his life. He may just need to take things slower. You just need to decide what you can deal with. Try not to be hurt. This really is his problem and is absolutely nothing you have done.
