My ex, which lives in colorodo, and i live in mississippi broke up with me only because he lives so far away but i talk to him every day on the internet and every weekend on the phone and i go there every summer and i don't know why we couldn't stay together. He said that when I go there this summer that we might get back together but i am afraid that he will have another girlfriend and change his mind because I really like him and I know he likes me. He was the first guy that I kissed so it really hurt me when he broke up with me last summer. He said that when I come down there that he will only be hanging out with me but I am scared that, like I said earlier, that he will have a girlfriend and forget about me.
I need help dearly,
Lindsay

Lindsay,

IT sounds like your pretty young, sweetheart. It's hardest those first times you let yourself fall for someone. Trust me, boys become guys and guys become men. You'll kiss a lot of toads before you find your prince.

Just remember as your smootching all those frogs, they all hop. but when you're done kissing frogs you'll look up and there will be a prince in front of you. And THAT when it get's even harder.

Think about it. You aren't near this fella, and it makes you so worried about the future , maybe a relationship isn't the best thing to do with this far away lad. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder. But sometimes distance just makes the heart grow cold.

I say, let this one go, feel what you're feeling, and find another frog.

take care hon,

MA

It sounds to me as though he is either stringing you along or doesn't know what he wants. Either way, if you are spending everyday chatting with this guy, you are investing your time in something that doesn't have much value.

As Massive Atom said, guys will come and go in your life. It will hurt with each one that leaves, but I think there is something to learn from each person that shows up in our lives. You learn and move on.

There are relationships that you will have that end and you will feel like you just can't live without them. But you can and you will and when your heart heals, another special person shows up.

Do activities with other people in your school and town. Those friendships will be easier to build on because you are close to people and can actually do things with them.

A long distance relationship will only work if there is an end in sight. Like "I'm going to Korea with the Army for 13 months" At least then you know you'll be together again in 13 months.

He might have wanted to break up with you for other stuff too. And then he used the long distance reason to make it easier.
