Me and my ex-girlfriend were good friends for 3 months before we dated. I was going to ask her out via a poem during her birthday. Apparently she found out that I planned to ask her out, and sent me a very long message telling me to not give her the poem. Her reasoning was that she thinks it would have started to early and she doesn't feel like she is ready for a proper relationship. So after that was a bunch of mixed emotions. I'm not sure if i was going downhill or uphill, but i will let you be the judge: I told her that we couldn't be friends if we were just going to have a simple friendship because I liked her so much. She said that she doesn't want anything bad to happen to me but only wants to be friends at the moment. One thing lead to another and then she started saying that she would most likely start liking someone else, and that I would too. It's clear now that she use to like me, but now doesn't. The only reason I'm considering to not move on is because were both only 14, and there is a chance we could get back together. Though that sadly sounds unlikely. Please can anyone offer advice? I'm not sure where to go with this situation.

So I like this freshman at my highschool. My friends convinced me to put a note in his locker and I did so since august he knew I liked him. We have never spoken and I've been told by many that he is really shy. My friend talked to him and scared him off but didn't know. Then after another friend asked Lukas, the boy I like, if he likes me but he said no and ended the conversation. He stares at me a lot in class and often I see him copying me? Should I move on or? I still like him a lot.....

i have known my amazing boyfriend for almost 10 years, and have been dating him for two. We've lived together for over a year know, and are actually moving into a new place together soon. He is wonderful to me, and treats me well. I am totally in love with him, and i think he loves me deeply. I am in my mid 20's and he is in his early 30's. We've adopted two cats together. I want to move on to the next step and get married, and he keeps saying he isn't ready yet. I know he's been afraid of big commitments, not just this one. When I ask him if I'm the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with, he says things like "Maybe, I think so" or "I'm just not sure yet." It's hard for me to understand how after 2 years he can't "just know" that I'm the one, but people keep telling me that not everyone works that way. He sometimes says that breaking up crosses his mind on occasions when we have an argument, but that over all he wants to stay together. I want to be with him, no question, but i know sometimes the waiting gets really hard. I know he loves me, but I just wonder if this will drag on until one day i wake up and realize that i've waited as long as I can. Should I just move on now and avoid the possible hurt or stay with it and keep working toward a forever?

I got to know my ex when we first entered uni, she had a bf at that time but they were on the edge of breaking up, we hanged out as friends and slowly feelings grew, after 5 months we finally got together and things we great for the next 10-11 months however it was when we finally graduated that things got bad, because we had to go on overseas internship which means we had to have a LDR, it was something she was afraid of and something she was not used to doing (she has gone overseas for internships before) after 3 months she told me she wanted to break up on our supposed 1 year anniversary, she said that it was due to her career goals and that she wanted to focus on her career and build it up (she's quite career minded). From that day on i did not contact her and it has already been about 3 months but up to now i still can't help but think of her. However, now that we are finishing our internship, I feel like contacting her again and trying to work things out and maybe start afresh but i don't know if i should.

So what do you guys think? Thank you in advance :)

So.. there's this guy. I like him. He used to like me for 2 years. I also liked him the same amount of time.. I think he moved on though. Now he knows I like him (cause of my stupid friends!) And it kind of looks like he likes me too. Buuuut, I don't know. I don't know what to do. I always have dreams about him also..

So I am falling in love with my roommate. We have hooked up a few times when we were drinking but never discuss it the next day, its kinda like a whatever thing. Basically friends with benefits i guess. The other day we were at diner and we did this horoscope compatibility thing and it was saying that our signs relationship is the strongest of all and blah blah blah all good stuff. He then looks at me and says "stritly platonic". I like him a lot, but I don't think the feeling is mutual. I am wondering if I move on will it make him want me? Or should I keep working on him/

We were only together for four months when we found out she was pregnant. At first, though we were both scared, we leaned on each other for support. After a few weeks, though, she began pushing me away. It got to the point where she didn't even talk to me. I tried everything: I left flowers for her, made a pregnancy care basket, and even though it was one of the hardest things I've ever done, I gave her space and time. After two months of this (with her refusing to tell me how she felt or where we stood) she texted me and told me that we should just be friends, but that there was more to what was going on than what she said in the text. She promised a conversation face to face where she would tell me what had happened between us and why she didn't want to be with me anymore. That never happened. The only times I see her now are during the monthly Doctor's appointments for the baby, and communication between us is sparse and strained. I still want to be with her, though my friends tell me I am crazy to feel that way. She sends me mixed signals: inviting me over for Christmas and Thanksgiving, but not even looking at me when I am there; showing up at my work and sitting in the lobby for hours; making vague facebook posts about wanting things to go back to the way they were. I don't know what to do... I don't want my son to be born into a broken home, but it's out of my hands, and it seems like all I am accomplishing by trying to hold on is getting myself hurt again and again.

My guy friend and I have been in this weird friends with benefits relationship for a few months now, I like him and he likes me but wont ask me out cause his best friend and ex-crush both hate me. My friends told me if he really does like me, he'd ask and wouldn't care about others thoughts. should I end the friends with benefits or keep waiting?

Me and my guy who I known for 9 years. We met in 5th grade and became bestfriends instantly. Then 8th grade i finally confessed my 3 years of love for him. We went out on summer and broke up in freshman year due to immaturity. Then our friendship instantly died freshman year and rekindled our friendship in sophomore year. During freshman year he did have a girlfriend for a year and half. But in Junior year he broke up with her and went to me. After that he kept switching up on me and her not knowing who he loved more. So that was my 2nd heartache, and I stopped and let them be together. Now senior year, we became 'pals' but our chemistry still strong for each other we started to get into things. I lost it to him also, which i do and dont regret. And now I undestand i love him for who he WAS not who he is now. But i also don't want to abandon him because many people already abandoned him in his life. So now here I am debating if i should get closure.
