Guest Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Hi, I've been dating my boyfriend for 2 months now. He's an amazing guy, very sweet and somewhat romantic, and more importantly, he was my best guy friend before we began dating. I think this is clouding my judgement. See, my last boyfriend I had been steadily getting more and more unhappy with...he never tried to spend any time with me, and while he's a great guy and extremely cute we never really (as in more than a peck) kissed or anything. This lack of a physical relationship really affected me. Also, I was putting much more emotionally into the relationship than I was getting out of it, and it was eating me up. Anywho, the week before I broke up with him, my best guy friend (we'll call him Bob, generic name, I know) was always there for me, comforting me, saying all the right things, assuring me that what I was feeling was okay. Three weeks later Bob asks me out (after I'd been broken up with my ex for 3 weeks), and I said yes, because he was a sweet heart and we were both hopeless romantics and I felt as if he would take care of me. I'm in doubt now because I don't really feel that attracted to him anymore, and it makes me think I began dating him as a rebound, because he was everything that my ex was not. A lot of the time now I wish I was single and we could just be friends again, but I know he really likes me and I don't want to break his heart. I'm only the second girl he's dated; his first one broke his heart and it took him 2 years to get over it. I'm also afraid that this is just a phase in our relationship, and that if I break up with him I will regret it. I also feel as if I can't talk to any of my other friends about it, because all of our friends are mutual, and everyone loves him because he's such a nice guy. Confused and Alone P.S. He is also leaving for the entire summer to travel in Asia, so I won't see him at all even though he wants me to wait for him...I don't think I could do that. P.S.S. There is also the matter of prom being in a month...he hasn't asked me yet, but it's expected, and it would be mean to break up with him before then, right? I just don't know.
