Hey,

OK, here is the thing. My boyfriend, we'll call him Leo, of pretty much a year, just broke up with me a couple weeks ago. He told me that he loved me all the time, and I told him the same. I really thought he cared about me. We have known each other since I was 5, and we have grown up together.

Last school year I had a friend that was SURE that he liked me. I didnt know for sure, but lately I had been picking up signals, and obviously I liked him. It had been obvious that I liked him since like 5th grade. I was really excited, and before I knew it we were going out. We had a great time together. But there was one problem, we were so used to being just good friends that when things got past what good friends do, it would get weird. So we just talked and I was fine with that.

Then this year it got to the point that we would hold hands. I really was enjoying it, and I thought that our relationship was at a high point. Well we never really talked to each other about things that were bothering us. Sure I would complain to him about what some annoying girl did to me at school or something like that, but never anything that bothered me about HIM.

I guess I just didnt realize it because I didnt see him except for on the weekends, but one week something started bothering him. I dont know what it was, but I finally realized something was going terribly wrong. I decided I would ask him about it that weekend when I saw him. When I told him that I was going to come and see him he was like "oh...really?" and he wasnt too enthusiastic about it.

When I finally saw him, he tried to act normal, but it didnt work. I mean, Ive known the guy since I was in Kindergarten, so I can read him like an open book. I tried to ask him what was bothering him and every time I did, he would ignore me and change the subject or start talking to somebody else.

Finally I left, and when I got home I saw an email from him. It was him breaking up with me. He had sent it right after I left from seeing him. How shallow was that?? So I was really upset about that. He wanted to just be friends with me, so I emailed him and told him that that was fine with me. I figured, as long as we can still be friends then I would live, and there is at least a chance of us getting back together.

But now I never hear from him, even though I have tried to email him. I thought I was the one to want to stay away from him. anyways, what do you think I should do? Should I tell him that I either need us to be friends, or just not talk. I really want to talk to him about it, but I can never get him anymore. I am really confused.

I've just been dumped by text message by someone who told me that she loved me. Being dumped in this way has made me realise that she just didn't feel the same about me as i did about her.

Its a horrible thing to happen but it will get better with time(a cliche i know) But your obviously capable of having a more meaningful relationship and you WILL find someone new who reciprocates your love.
