writes: Before anything, i would like to clarify that i am 20 y/o. I broke up with my bf 1 month ago and it was tough at first- fighting, crying and swearing (typical breakup). He says he still has feelings for me and we broke up just because of some (manageable) differences. So after a while, I spaced away from him... he mentions me to his friends and told my brother that he loves me and wants to get back with me however I called him yesterday to say hi and he said he wasn't ready for us to see each other yet... but he said we can talk on the phone. He said "we aren't ready to be together right now". Everybody says I should give him time so we can both get back together and fix our mistakes...I'm just scared he will forget me. By the way we were together 1 year and it was a very serious and loving relationship.

I think he is just realizing what it means to commit to someone and it scares him. He may feel that he is too young to be totally committed to one person at his age so he may feel he needs to spread his wings a bit.
At your age you are not ready to marry yet and really that is the basis for dating is to find out who you want to spend the rest of your life with. (Although few people see it that way these days.)
Trust me when I say you may have several other relationships before you find "the one" you are looking for. Just be patient and you will find the right one where you least expect him. But know this, right now living and breathing and walking about is that one guy that will be right for you. Doc
