How to deal with a summer breakup


 

Check these out, too...

  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
  • Saved the best for last day
My boyfriend broke up with me right before I had to leave for camp. I still haven’t let go—I want to work on our relationship. The thing is, he never talked to me much when we were together. Even during school, we never saw each other very often. How can I be the girl of his dreams?            


Dear Heartbroken,

I’m sorry you’re feeling down. But instead of holding onto the threads of this worn-down romance, get out a pretend pair of scissors and—snip!—set yourself free. Really, why try to be the girl of his dreams when you can have dreams of your own? Look toward the future instead of the past, and have fun talking to new friends at summer camp rather than fretting about a guy who wasn’t even all that communicative in the first place. Stay busy, laugh a lot, and don’t let memories of this ex hold you back from having a great summer—starting now.

Okay so I'm having a few issues with my boyfriend at the moment.
Lately my boyfriend has been really sensitive about what I say to him even if it's not mean at all, he takes it the wrong way. I'm afraid to even try and talk to him about it because of that. Also, I feel like he's super possessive. On the last day of school, we had gone to like a little party at my friend's house and my guyfriend was there so I hung out with him and my bf got jealous and started whacking him and going after him O_O. It's made me feel like I can't even hang out with my guyfriend anymore. I sometimes feel constricted. My friend had the same issue with her ex boyfriend and my boyfriend knows who the guy is so my friend thinks he could be turning into him. I also feel like we're moving too fast and I don't like it. I'm not sure what to do...Please help, thanks!

Hey girl,

It sounds like you need to discuss these issues with your boyfriend if you want to stay in a relationship! Let him know that you like spending time with your other friends, and invite him to hand out with you and your guy friend so he can see there's nothing to worry about. And tell him that you like him but don't want to move too fast. He should be fine with both of these things, but if he gives you a hard time, you might want to reconsider your relationship!

 Hey girl,


I can only imagine how tough things are for you. Because we wish you only the best, it’s extremely important that you speak to a trusted adult, such as a family member, doctor, guidance counselor, teacher, etc. ♥, Your Blog Patrol Babes

I was at summer camp when a guy that has asked me out a few
times asked if i liked him I said maybe and i think i like him but i won't see him until next school year probably and one of my friends absolutely hates him help!




Hey girl!

Since you won't see him until the fall, you should probably just try and go about your summer plans as normal. You could always text him or Facebook him if you feel comfortable with that. Then maybe you can keep in contact over summer. If not, you'll just have to see what happens when you start school again. He'll never know you have feelings for him if you don't tell him!

Hi. I have some bf issues.
See, i texted him a couple hours ago asking if he wanted to go to a def leppard concert (his second favorite band) with me. I told him it wasn't near when his big race is (he is in the top five in a certain type of race he does. I dont want to say wat so i wont dish out all of his info. He's going to the big finale race this july). Anyway, he texted back saying we couldnt hang out this summer at ALL because of this big race four weeks away! I understand training & stuff, but he couldnt give up just one day? Especially since whenever i text him he's playing video games. My mom also called his mom last night (they're kinda friends) and his mom said we should get together soon. How can she say that when he's supposed to be busy? I tried texting him back to better understand but he never replied.
What should i do? Am i overreacting or Do u think this a little fishy? Thanks! Smile




Hey Girl--

it sounds like you might want to take a break. You sound like a great gf who is totally supportive of his racing and you even know what his 2nd fave band is! It seems to me like he doesn't appreciate everything you do. Why don't you suggest that the two of you take a break until he has more time? You may find that there are tons of guys out there willing to give up there day off to spend time with you : )




BEST OF LUCK
