reader, anonymous, writes (21 May 2008): Thanks for the update. When I say treat with caution, it's just that any advice I give you, might be wrong and you might be doing the wrong thing. I don't know this girl, I don't know if she likes you, loves you or is using you.....
I like you, I think your nice. You like this girl, you want her. So I want you to have her. She's older than you and must feel like she's taking advantage of you. No matter. She's been under stress, your relationship has been under stress, she needs time, so you give her the time she needs.
It's just that I'm not sure about all this saying "I Love you" stuff. She must know that you love her, it's not fair if your the only one saying it. Dose this indicatiate she loves you, she dosen't..... It makes my head hurt.... You tell her you love her, but she dosen't respond, what dose this all mean? Dose hearing about your love give her the support she needs and evidence to know you care, or is she so used to it, that she takes you and your love for granted. These are all the things I do not know, and therefore I urge you to take my advice on this with caution.
You seem like a nice guy, you love her. It's just that I want you to recieve all the love you deserve, I want you to be happy, I don't want her to use you and make you cry.
Good luck to you.

reader, anonymous, writes (21 May 2008): This is verified as being by the original poster of the questionthanks for all the advice yall have given me. I want to ask someone that when we talk on the phone, we talk normal wit eachother and when i ask her if she misses me; she says yes. when we hang up she never tells me first that she loves me as she used to do, but once i say it, she says I love u 2. Do u think that she means that she misses & loves me r she may just be sayin it to make me feel better??

Of course you can be friends, just keep it light, learn just to have fun in each others company, without the hang up's of having a intimate relationship right now.
If you love something set it free, if it loves you it'll come back. You'll be alright, if she dosen't realise how wonderful you are she needs her head examined.

Yeah I think that would be a good idea. Just to get her mind off her stresses and relax for a few hours. Good thinking! I'm glad I helped you out :)

There could possibly be a chance but give her time! Talk to her about her problems, don't talk about getting back together all the time. If or When she is ready, she will let you know. She is obviously going through a lot right now she needs to deal with on her own so just be there for her when she needs you and don't cause her anymore un-needed stress about relationships. She talks to you everyday, I doubt she has left you for another guy, and besides you have no reason to think that. Take a deep breath and think about her needs before yours. I know you love her but that is how you are going to show it, by being there for her and respecting her wishes. Good luck and I hope she feels better.
