Dump him immediately, he is a typical player who only wants to burst his ego. That remids me a guy I met online several years ago, he ignored me while he was in my FB contacts, but when I deleted him he started sending me emails and sms desperated, telling me that he misses me, etc. I just blocked him. You will have no future with that guy, he is a JERK.

lilsweetnsassy: lol, but if it was control wouldn't he be wanting to know what I was up to all the time??? And yes I am definitely ready to find somebody who wants to be apart of my life, and has his act together.


I don't think he needs to worry about that, you're obviously besotted.

You said you have either said or are willing to say to him, everything stated here.

You didn't need our "opinions". You need to follow your own views and advice. Step up and tell him exactly what you see and what it does to you.

You've stated that things go back to the same when you're with someone else and then allow him to weasel back in.

It's time for the merry-go-round to stop. State your full case and walk if he shows one single time that's he's not sincere like he already has been. It doesn't seem like an occasional slip up or lack of thought. He may not be ready for a full commitment and it could be worse if forced into one.

The decision is yours.

54xmax: It is all about his EGO. - - - - His manhood is tied to being able to have a woman under control, to be able to have her dance to his tune. His EGO is tied to playing, and that a woman is ready, and willing to buy his BS.

He obviously has low self esteem, and you are there to caress his ego and lift his self-esteem. He cannot stand, you finding someone better, and actually figuring out, that he is a schmuck. That he has no balls, nor that he actually is a "man" - - - Him being a bachelor, not stepping up. The way he is behaving, I'd guess, that he is also Pisces, Libra or Twins in zodiac sign - - Star sign or maybe in moon or rising sign - - He definitely has one of these in his stars.

He is weak person whom does not know what he wants, and it is about time for you to decide, what you want, what you deserve and where do you wish to go. He is only holding you back.

Wake up, and move on. - - This on and off - - Come on, how old are you two. Are you teen agers - - or are you two suppose to be adults, mature people with intellect and somewhat clear desires and dreams for the future. . . . You might be missing out a good man whom is right next to you, but he has not got any chance with you, because you can't decide what you want.



thumbs up applause

To the O/P

hi, you can make a choice to continue on this way.......or change it

you cannot change him but you can change yourself..this means thoughts, actions and behaviours

you can ask for something but if the other person is not willing to give then you will be disappointed...as you are

you are very, very attached to him and may need to rethink this concerning a future in a relationship with him...as he is

plenty of fish in the sea sooo do not settle for being second best!!!!

what you decide is of your own making

all the best

cheers

lilsweetnsassy: the the friends who do mutually know us have told him to step up, and have told me to tell him to grow up and make a decision. Obviously he is a great guy or I wouldn't have been friends with him for 9 years. Everything i say here i would say to his face or have said to his face. He is a great guy, just won't step up, and immature. So :) thanks


I think you want to stop taking your gossiping tripe to friends and making it public. That's pretty ugly. Most men I know will run from ugly (and we're not talking 'looks' here) unless they're emotionally crippled by circumstance or life (or alcohol/drugs).... and it seems from your posts that you'll stop at nothing to shame and humiliate him, degrade him and hurt him, to get what you want.

I'll bet after all you've said he feels pretty good about you now, and this for you is love? . thumbs down

No one wants to 'step up' to ugly. let alone be with them. My best advice. Grow up your self.

lilsweetnsassy: Okay so I need advice, I have been friends with this guy whom I will call J for the past nine years. He was one of my really good friends. When my husband at I split J and I talked a few times but I needed time to heal, to find myself again. That was five years ago. For the past year and a half he and I have dated off and on. My problem is he doesn't seem to want to step up. He is a bachelor, likes to go out with friends. Never invites me. But then again that's not my lifestyle, he knows that. I dont have a problem with him going out, my problem was I felt I was a convince. He rarely would text back, and only hung out with me when he was done partying. He says it wasn't like that. My thoughts are if he is not going to step up i am going to date other people. He gets upset. When im with someone else he calls me tells me he loves me, how bad it hurts im with someone else. But when i try again with him its the same. He has not dated anyone in the past year and a half but me. But it's like he only wants me when im with someone else, or suddenly realizes he could lose me. I dont know what to do. Im tired of games. I dont know how to get him to step up, and i can't be with him if he dont. Any advice would be helpful.
play me or trade me/baseball wife,lol.

My advice.....make yourself invisible to him and see what will be his next move. Seems to me that he just wanted you as a decoratiom or a bunch of flower where he can put you on top of the table when he needs you to impress his friends. A very unhealthy reality....

Sounds to me he is one of those that wants his cake and eat it too ! Which has already been said... Sitting on the side line is not a nice place to be...being second thought... You need to find someone that can make you a better person... I am sure you are a lovely young lady... and you deserve to find someone that wants to spend time with you.. anytime or all the time... someone that will call you every day or text to say hello everyday.. Someone that will call and swing by just to sit and watch tv or a movie... and feel comfort in just that... To take you out with others to see and not for it to be like a secret...Go find that love of your life someone that deserves to have a beautiful lady by their side...Don't settle... don't sit on the fence waiting for him to change....get off the side line of the game and jump right in there.. Go find your companion for life... They are out there...

Never been in a situation like this so I can't offer much advise.........but I guess the best way to look at this is to decide what you really want out of the relationship with him. If you want him "part-time" I guess this can work but if you want him full-time then he needs to make some changes. Good Luck. hug

Another (possible) scenario nobody mentioned: Hooking up with other girls when he's out partying (or trying to). His friends aren't going to tell you about it. He keeps you at an emotional distance to stave off feeling guilty.

Further to my post above, you said he wants to be sure (how sure does he have to be after 9 years), and that you haven't known him to be with anybody else.. but then, after 9 years, hell, maybe he is gay, or confused??
