A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

dear cupid, i need your help. robert and i met my sophomore year of high school. we were very close for two years. he was my best friend. we loved to talk and hang out. he had the biggest crush on me and i knew it but i didn't feel the same so i acted like i didn't. he said he thought he would never have a shot in hell with a girl like me. one night at the end of my senior year of high school we went to a party together and it was that night i realized i wanted to be more than friends with him. that he was what i had always wanted. i told him less than a week later. hes my bestfriend i tell him everything. he said if we were meant to work out we would.

long story short he was caught up on another girl and didn't know what he wanted but asked me not to leave completely out of his life. i said okay and waited. four months later i tell him i can't take it anymore we need to separate. he cries and begs for us to be together. i agree. we date for two months. i always felt like he saw her when he looked at me. we broke up because he needed "time" to figure out if we could handle all this. we didn't talk for a month after that and now four months later were right back where we started. he still has the other girl but theyre not dating, she won't date him. im still in love with him. he talks to me alot through email and text. he doesn't like to talk to me on the phone or see me.

i told him having him in my life hurt and i couldn't take it anymore. we were never going to be friends again and we were going to be together so we had nothing left for each other so we should just cut our losses and not talk anymore. he got all upset and said he wanted me in his life the biggest mistake of his life was leaving me and he doesn't regret a minute of it and he doesn't want to lose me. why does he taunt me? why does he play these games? we used to be best friends and would die for each other. we used to talk for hours and hours about nothing and just love being by each other. we used to fish forever. i miss that. i miss my best friend so bad it hurts. when i hurt about him i wanna call him but not the ex boyfriend who hurt me but the old bestfriend who makes everything better.

why does he do this? how could he go from loving caring always there best friend to this? this has been going on for almost a year now. i don't wanna hurt anymore. dear cupid please help.

Hi,

I know exactly how you feel, it's happened to me in the past and I think he is only acting like this because he cares so much for you that it hurts, give him a call and tell him you desperatly need to see him and if he agrees then tell him how you feel and that you need him back in your life. Don't leave it hanging over you, it will only make you ill; this over girl in his life was only because she probably reminded him of you. Good Luck !
