I am 19 years old. And a couple of months ago my boyfriend 28, of 5 months, dumped me by text because he didn’t feel the same way. I of course was really upset but was taking steps to move on, no contact etc. He started up contact again like nothing had happened. I found this positive and felt good again. We arranged to meet up and see a film together and have a meal all of which he paid for. When he dropped me off home in his car, I asked for a hug and we were cuddling for about 20 minutes. We then were talking fine and whatever and well I told him last week that I fancied him, which was scary and his response was a bit strange. Saying ‘It’s not that I don’t like you, I just need to be clear in my head and I need time… I’m not embarrassed I just need to ensure my feelings are right as it’s got to work both ways and I wouldn’t want to hurt you again yeh?’ The other night I told him I was confused about how to talk to him and he said ‘just as friends’ kinda thing. I said this made me feel a bit silly about opening up about liking him again because I know you don’t like me like that to which he said ‘you know where I stand’ referring to what he said about not not liking me… I just don’t know what to do or make of this, please help.
