  Dear Heather,

I met this guy at the prom who was a friend of my friend. We both started dancing together all night--at that time I thought he was a nice guy and he could dance well so I should hang out with him.

We talked all night and I started to like him. When the last dance came around, he kissed me. I was shocked and literally glowing. I was excited at first because I never meet guys that are so sweet and nice.

Soon after that, we went to the beach with a group of our friends and we were like honeymooners--holding hands, kissing good-bye, and never leaving each other's side. But by the middle of the afternoon, I felt I needed some space.

The next day, I ignored him at all costs. He called me and said how much he missed me. But I felt like I was losing my space and I was not free.

He kept calling, but I avoided his calls and didn't want to talk to him. I couldn't handle his emotions, while at the same time I didn't know how I felt. So now it has been some time since he called me last and I am starting to miss him. I look at pictures of us together and think about how happy I was with him and wonder what is wrong with me to lose such a great guy because of my dumbass issues. I want to call him. I tried so many times but what can you say to someone you obviously have hurt?

Do you think I still have feelings for him or what? I don't know what to do. If you could help that would be awesome.

Hi.

You definitely do not have dumbass issues. It is totally normal and reasonable for you to feel the way you do. It sounds like you and the guy really clicked at first, which is great. It's also flattering when someone likes you, especially if you feel the same way.

But he sounds like he was a little too intense too quickly, so it's not surprising that you were turned off. That kind of emotional intensity can distract a person from how she feels about someone, and makes it hard to separate that from how the other person feels about her.

Give yourself some time to think about what you want. If you really think you want to get back together with this guy, you could call or email him and suggest starting things again--but taking it slow and becoming better friends first. Even though you are afraid you hurt him by ignoring his calls, you could just tell him the truth: that you were feeling like you were losing your space. How he responds to your honesty is a good sign of his personality and how things might turn out between the two of you.

He could respond in a number of ways. He may be hurt or indifferent and decide that he doesn't want to try and reconstruct anything with you. He may agree to take it slow and you can see how things develop. Or he may be the same way he was before and come on just as strong. No matter what happens, think about what is best for you and how you can handle a situation that might not be what you are looking for.



 
 
Take care,
heather
