boy problems...

[Voltron aka Jerica]

So this guy that I went out with last year for like 3 or 4 months now
wants to get back together with me. He is telling me that he is still
in love with me and that he wants to go back out with me and I have
realized that I don't know if I can be hurt again. The last time I
went out with him I found out that he was going with someone who I
considered my best friend. I don't know what I should do about it. I
graduate from high school on June 16th and then I'm going to be
working at a camp and so I won't ever see him. Should I just go for it
and go back out with him or should I not? I have been e-mailing one of
my best friends and he and I have gotten close. He is over in Iraq in
the navy and yes I'm worried sick about him all the time. The thing is
I am afraid of telling him how I really feel about him. Should I just
tell him flat out that I'm in love with him or should I just keep e-
mailing him adn act as if I'm not in love with him?

I was hoping someone else might give you some advice on this but since
they havent here is my opinion.
First you should never get involved with anyone "just because of how
they feel about you"
How do you really feel about this person? It sounds like you really
don't have the same feelings as he does, so why consider going back
with him? Yes you could go back to him and dump him but is that
really going to solve anything? Won't that eventually haunt you or
give you a bad reputation?
We can all be hurt in relationships over and over again? There is
nothing you can do to prevent that from happening in any relationship,
especially if its not working out for one of you.
Since you are going away for summer why not just leave things as they
are and see how you feel when you are home again. You will have had
time away and time to think about how you really feel, including the
new man in your life. But remember that any online relationship will
change once its in real life (realtime=RT)
I can understand how you are likely very confused about how you feel
and for who and why. Take your time and make sure you decide on what
to do because of how you feel, and don't be afraid to be alone. You
are still very young and have lots of time to settle on which man
you truely want and need in your life.
Good luck on what ever you decide is the best thing for you right
now.
You might want to check out some websites on relationships.
Sympatico/MSN has a relationship section that tends to give a lot of
good advice

Personally if i was you i would forget them both and go away for
summer and see what happens. If you go away single and meet someone
nice you won't have a relationship back home to worry about and you
can explore the new one without guilt or restrictions
Have a great summer either way
