We only kissed, but the entire night he treated me like he loved me and it didn't feel like a hookup. He even texted me a smiley face after he left. But the thing is, he's not ready for a relationship because he just got out of a major one. I'm pretty sure he still likes his ex and they still hang out because they're "best friends" but I don't think she intends to get back with him. Anyway. So now he doesn't text me or flirt with me or even seem remotely interested in even being friends with me anymore. (I think his breakup is finally hitting him.) And it's killing me. I can't stop thinking about him. What should I do? He doesn't really respond when I text him so I gave up on that. Also, I'd rather be just friends with him than nothing at all because he's a funny and cool guy. We're majoring in the same thing so I see him all the time. Help! Thanks!

Oh honey. I'm in the same position. Only he does it, every couple of months. He knows I'll let him in because I always do. I'm always the girl who's there for him when no one else is. But I'm in a place now where I want a relationship and can't let him keep hurting me. I think you should be strong, talk to him and tell him exactly how you feel and see what happens. It's the only way you'll feel better. Not knowing is worse than hearing what you didnt want to hear. And if he cares for you at all he will absolutely stay friends with you. You may have to just give it time. But be careful, if you really really like him it will be incredibly difficult to be friends. Make sure you're prepared for that. No regrets. 3
