Dear Cupid, im a confused wreck let me give you a back story about my situation...Last year i began dating Anthony he was 15 and i have just turned 17 it was the best relationship ever he was my bestfriend he was there for me and i was there back i never knew i was going to love him and i did but still do...He broke up with me in May since then i always felt empty i did other things to distract myself i even tried to work things out. We had a strong relationship his excuses were i dont even know, that we need to mature, that he will give us a 2nd chance when we are older, another excuse was guys want different thing than girls, his last was he does not want to deal with people who want the fairytale ending. Today im dating again a childhood friend from elementary school James. He is really sweet and he does care about me he always makes me laugh and im growing stronger feelings for him but in the back of my mind i cant seem to let go of Anthony like i said i tried everything...I told Anthony i was willing to wait for him because he means the world to me...but in the end i did not..sometimes i regret it. He finally deleted all our pictures on Facebook.. :/ and i couldn't help but crying..and i know that is selfish of me but it hit me...At that moment i was thinking on what he said "This is not a goodbye, we will have another chance Sophia". I know guys can say anything but for some reason he ment it. now that im dating again i don't know if he changed his mind or what..i sometimes wake up crying because i dream of the old days. In my view i feel like we do deserve another chance i don't know when...But for James i don't want to break his heart...I don't know what to do.. Should i stay with James? Or should i leave him and tell Anthony how i feel and wait for him or at least try?

AbigailBradbury agony auntSorry to be harsh sweetie, but why break up something that is clearly making you really happy for something that rests on a maybe?

Now, ordinarily I'd say follow your heart. However, if this guy wants you, let him chase you. You've had your heart broken once, don't risk it again or it'll break you down. You deserve happiness and if this guy is making you happy then why the hell shouldn't you be?! I know it's hard, and I'm sure it will all work out in the end and I understand you really liked this other guy, but like I said take each day at a time and see what happens. No one can tell you your future, but you can make things happen and change your future yourself.

Good luck, :)
