We had a relationship that was based on our friendship, because we had fun together all the time. We hung-out a lot! We really never got in fights. So it was a surprise to me when he broke up with me. He did it because he's scared of going to college and I understand that so after days of feeling sorry for myself we talked. I want to continue being his best friend and me being his best friend because we've been friends for so long and we really understand each other more than anyone else. But he seems distant, he want to be friends but he doesn't want it to seem like anything else. Should I try to get him back, settle for a friendship, or shut him out completely.

Do you really want to be best friends with him??? Do you want him telling you about all the beer parties he's going to and all the girls who took their tops off and flashed him? How about all the new girls he's sleeping with??
Nope, you don't want to be best friends, and neither does he because he knows that if you continue to be friends he'll have to censor what he says to you so that you won't get upset with him.
