I'm young. So I'm naive and i need your opinion. when my boyfriend and i started talking we talked for a pretty long time on the phone at nights and he'd always call me throughout the day. once we got together, he doesn't talk to me much. the longest phone conversation we had (while we are dating) is about 28 minutes. we'd talk longer when we first met. I feel like he's trying to push me away or just doesn't like me. he tells me he likes me all the time and even loves me. but i don't believe him. he also talks to so many girls and i feel unimportant. i don't even feel like i'm his girlfriend. he says he never met anyone like me because im really nice and caring. but i feel like he's taking advantage of that. he also tells me so many things that gets my hopes up and then it not even happening. i like this guy... alot. and i feel like he's just using me as a toy or someone to comfort him. i also feel like he doesnt tell me everything and that hes secretly seeing his ex's because hes always talking to them and about them. he doesnt like when i talk to my ex but he can talk about his. and im always talking to him first making the initiative to talk to him. he just confuses me and i dont really know how he feels about me. he can't even take 2 minutes to tell me he's done with whatever he's doing and he's going to do something else. i need your opinion about him. what do you think is going on? it would really be nice to hear from all of you.

How old are you? If all the signs keep telling you this guy isn't right for you in some way maybe you should examine them?

Maybe it's him, maybe it's you, but either way you probably need to take a step back, and that includes getting a little distance from this guy and assessing what the problems you're experiencing are, how you want things to be different, and whether they're your issue or his.

seriously then stop doing that. keep the future convos that you have with him light and above all short. be friendly, but dont talk to him on the phone for more than a few minutes.

stop taking the initiative and let him call you.

Its common for a guy to not talk as much on the phone as he did before....for two reasons....either he isnt interested in you as he was before or he feels mor content with you so the relationship has past that infactuation zone and entered a more stable zone so he doesnt feel he needs to spend hours and keep you occupied by talking. How much time do you spend together in person...has that changed?

What sort of timeline is this...months or weeks???

Sounds like your gut is telling you something that you don't want to hear. It's not just about the phone calls, it's the fact that when you are dating him you feel like a second class citizen. You should never feel like that when dating or in a relationship with someone. It's time for you to step away from him and find someone who puts a smile on your face and with whom you feel safe, secure and happy. When you are in a relationship there should be no doubt that you are the number person in his life. Listen to your gut - when you know deep down inside something is a problem, it is.

Sweetie I'm going to be blunt. He's likely cheating on you. Please protect yourself and break contact with him till he can be honest. We women have gut feelings for a reason. You deserve someone who wants to be with you and no one else. Best of luck it's not easy but will be rewarding.

If it feels like he's pushing you away, he probably is. For some people, it's easier to continue to say they are still wanting a relationship, but let their actions show otherwise. Why? So they don't have to be the bad guy to end it. If it becomes intolerable, obviously you will want to break things off and it won't be on their hands.

In all of this, it seems to me like you can't trust him, and he is showing you very little respect and no consideration. That is not a good foundation for a relationship. If you feel like someone is taking advantage of you, it's because they are. Since he never initiates conversations, I think it's again another instance of him just rolling with things without putting any effort in so you will eventually have enough and pull the plug.

Since you are 19, you are young and you are likely to have many relationships before you find "the one". You are very obviously not happy with the way things are--he is not the one for you. People are generally much more attentive in the early stages of relationships when everything is exciting and new, yet here you are already (at 19) feeling unappreciated and suspicious of his actions.

You can continue to be the only one investing in this relationship and become even more unhappy, or you can find someone who will treat you with respect and who will act like he cares about you. Do something good for yourself and move on.

Newbie,

this isnt that difficult to really get the picture, its just hurtful, and so you are avoiding what you already feel, just because we don't like the picture we see does not mean that we can not see it. Listen to your instincts- most times they are spot on. Talk to the guy honestly and tell him all that you just told us. Then its up to him to make you feel content, toss the ball in his court and then listen openly to his explanation. After that you are in control-- don't give him the control of how YOU feel. We can't really change how someone acts towards us, we can only decide if that is what makes us happy. Your choice. be strong
