I've been dating a Virgo boy for almost a year now. He's younger than me and says he loves that I'm older but he's acting like he's not ready to be committed. He's been the most honest, genuine, and caring man I've ever been with. I love his family like my own. We were supposed to be vacationing together next month and he said we should take some space before we travel together. I didn't do a very good job giving it...sometimes I would holler at him, and other times we would just run into each other b/c its a small town and we have alot of the same friends. There was one night were he went home early bc he got drunker than the crowd and I stayed at a party nd there was a guy who had a crush on me there. I flirted a little, let him walk me halfway home and then broke off from him so he wouldnt know where I lived. I admit I wouldn't like it if he did that to me but I still stand by the fact that I was loyal and honest that I had a b/f and wasnt interested. Then the next morning my guy asked me who i hung out with and i said "just some people" and was very vague. This bothered him, but ididnt realize how much. I think he's very intuitive, we both are with each other. He kept making these backwards comments about how all the boys in town were gunna be so excited we broke up, and how hard it was gunna be for me to live in this house without thinking of him. But he did it in a joking fashion, as we were cuddling....and I thought he was just messing with me and I laughed it off. The next thing I know he stone cold breaks up with me. He said "we both saw this coming". He says he wants to be fucking friends with me. I wrote him a letter explaining what happened that night . He read it and came to my house to collect his things that day....He said he did think us breaking up was right. That there was nothing wrong with me, or us. He just didnt feel like himself and hes finally starting to feel good again. He said didnt know how to get space back. That he didnt want to make it EMOTIONAL. I told him theres no way we can feel how we feel about each other without it being emotional. and then he used the term shit or get off the pot. He came in to get his stuff and i saw a few tears,he hugged me and told me he didnt want to do this, he feels like an asshole for this, but he didnt know what else to do. He said "ive loved you for a long time, and i still do..i guess we'll just go from here". Now he sees me he either flirts or acts like we're buds. Whats a libra to do?

you think that's why he broke up with me? or do i just need to give him some time? i think a little flirting is natural..its when your thoughts start considering taking action that its messed up. only then are you being unfair to the one you love.





Sounds like you are full of excuses so you can keep flirting ..... obviously, you only want to consider yourself, so I would suggest you just date yourself.

as far as me calling him a boy-i guess it's just my lingo. ive just been reading alot about virgos, and it seemed like maybe he got freaked out about his feelings for me. I finally told him i loved him for the first time, and he reciprocated, and I know he does, but I kind of feel like I scared him off. i figured if i gave him time to retreat and assess his thoughts we could work things out. i'm not getting that advice from anyone and apparently i'm the only one confused by his actions. thanks for you advice...i'll swallow it and try to move on. even though it seems impossible right now.

Where's your logic in that? You don't want him to do it but its ok for you to? I'm willing to bet that this has either come up between you two or he's noticed it and simply didn't say anything. There is no such thing as harmless flirting. Why? Because its an emotional betrayal. That's why you wouldn't want him to do it. Listen to what you're saying. People look for someone to guard their hearts. How do you expect loyalty when you willfully flirt with the opposite sex whether you're around them or not. Then to add insult to injury you apply a double standard. Honestly, flirting comes from two places...ego or insecurity. Both are bad.

P-Angel is absolutely correct. If you want to continue to solicit the attention of others while dating someone then you need to stay single.

Secondly, when a guy asks you who you hung out with that means he already knows what happened. How did you expect him to react? His friends told him you left with some guy you just happen to " flirt with a little" then give him a vague answer when he asks you about it. You're older than him! You wanted attention from him and you used the crush to get it. Instead of approaching him directly you manipulated him and now you wonder why he left.

Doing those things rarely works to your advantage. Trying to manipulate someone into doing what you want isn't the way to do it. Love requires patience. Be a woman about it. Either you wait for him to come back or you keep it moving. Was he manipulating you? Possibly. But trying to balance it out or resorting to your tactics only adds to the problem and ultimately gets you hurt.

thanks for your advice. it hurt to hear but it's true. i was being immature and disrespecting the love the two of us have that night. he has definitely flirted and we've had a talk about it for the most part we're both very aware of how we treat each other. he's a smart man. i told him everything that happened that night. He said he figured that it was something like that, and that he had noticed the attention that this guy gives me, and the no matter what our status he doesnt want me involved with that guy. i told him i had no feeling for this random guy and that he would be the one on my mind. i will definitely learn from this no matter what the outcome, but he really does have my heart. Do you think if i'm patient and focus doing whats right for myself right now but also, stay true to my feelings for him he'll come back around in time?
i feel like if i prove to him that no matter what our current status, he is the only one im interested in giving my affection to, he will eventually trust me again.

thanks for all your advice..i can be an idiot sometimes b/c ive had very unhealthy examples of love in my life.
I appreciate all your imput....

You're welcome! I didn't mean to be harsh but sometimes we need to hear the truth no matter how much it hurts.

He could come back. It's one of those things you have to leave up to fate. In the meantime, as you said...it's a perfect time to work on you. You have to work on changing your spirit so that you project the energy necessary for him to come back. What would you do if he did and HE hasn't changed? Of course you know it all boils down to accepting the person in front of you. That's what love is all about.
