Your boyfriend asked you for a break but says he does not want to lose you what does this mean?

This means your boyfriend (or ex as it may be) is keeping you on the hook. "The Hook" is a term most recently used in a popular American sitcom, "How I Met Your Mother", and in essence means that they boyfriend/girlfriend in question likes you, but does not want to make a commitment.

The best way to handle this situation is to establish a friendship boundary, in which both parties agree either to remain friends and discontinue seeing other people, or that both parties will continue to see others as it so suits them.

What does it mean when your boyfriend tells you he wants to take a break and how long will it take for him to come back?

Answer"Taking a break" could mean that this is a permanent breakup. Some people do not have the guts to come right out and speak the truth.

THE OPTIMISTIC POINT OF VIEW: If this was a serious relationship of a year or more, then you will have to trust their words to some degree. Give them their space and respect their wishes. Maybe they just have some personal growing to do before they can commit. Absolutely under no circumstances should you call them, contact them, cry to them, or beg them to get back together. This only makes things worse and prolongs your heartache. They will be so annoyed and only thinking negative thoughts rather than missing you. They have to realize it for themselves with no persuasion on your behalf.

Otherwise, if you do get back together with your ex, they will have the ultimate power over you. You will be relieved that you are back together. However, after some time, you will feel like they are only with you because you forced them, and they will end up resenting you for that. This will cause major problems and fights. Believe me; you do not want to feel this way. Ultimately, you will want to be with someone who truly wants to be with you, and you should not compromise that feeling for no one. The best thing to do is to be strong. Improve yourself physically, intellectually, and mentally. Even if you don't end up getting back with your ex, you will be a better person. This relationship could be a stepping-stone and a learning experience to prepare yourself for the one you are truly supposed to be with, even if that person is your ex.

Sometimes people need to experience life on their own and realize that the grass is not always greener on the other side. I do believe that people get back together. However, you need to give it a sufficient amount of time. And this does not mean two weeks because within that time you are only thinking about the breakup. Sometimes it could take months. If a lot of fighting occurred, you will want to begin again on a clean slate and get rid of all the built up anger inside.

If and when they come back around, do not make it easy for them to walk back into your life. If you do not feel strong enough to do this, then you will need to keep your distance until you truly feel you are able to resist them. You need them to chase you. If they love you, they won�t give up. Re-enter with a clear mind so that you can make rational decisions. Without this levelheaded state of mind, you will find yourself back in a downward spiral all over again. Just take your time and be careful. It will be hard, but this may be the only way to save your relationship. Nonetheless, if nothing progresses after six months, let it go.

The point of my response is to give the person the benefit of doubt, do not lose hope too quickly, and remember, �Everything happens for a reason.�

Answer"Taking a break" means he wants to break up with you. It doesn't feel good to hear that, but it is the truth.

It's best for YOU to assume that the break up is permanent and that you won't ever date him again. It's hard to get on with you life if you keep hoping he'll change his mind, because often that doesn't happen. Even if he did, the problems that caused you two to break up will resurface again.

What does it mean to be a fairy princess?

Dreams communicate through symbols, which are unique to each dreamer. So there really needs to be more information than a single image: a "fairy" could represent any number of things, from freedom and magic to one's opinion of homosexuality.

Why would your ex-boyfriend still flirt and tease around with you if he has a new girlfriend?

maybe because he's hoping to play both sides of the fence. This guy thinks he's a pretty hot commodity and you need to inflate his balloon! He's your ex and you should be moving on. Don't lose your self respect over the likes of this type of guy!

What is a break in a relationship?

A break in a relationship is when both parties take a physical, mental and emotional time out from eachother. be sure to discuss what a break means to both of you to be exactly sure what to expect. potentially a break also means u will eventually get back together

How does a guy feel when he is cheated on?

Unless his heart is as hard as a rock (which could be the very reason one would cheat on him), it's going to be a mixture of these things, which do not differ much from what anyone would feel:

*Surprise/Shock - Getting hit by a freight train - Wind knocked out of you

*Betrayed to the utmost (More wind knocked our of you)

*Heart-Broken

*Sadness/loneliness/anger

*Any/all stage(s) of the grief process

Depending on the guy, your end result:

Heart as hard as a rock, Bitterness, Apathy, or, possibly, forgiveness, openess to a second chance (tread lightly as trust has to be rebuilt from the start again)

How do you make your ex want you?

Apologize for what happened,be a gentleman to her and try and build her trust again then ask her for days out together and then things will get better and she may develop feelings for you again.

What to say to a friend who got dumped?

The most important thing is to be there for them. Show them your support and love. And try to keep their mind off it. But remind them it's fine to cry. Always be patient, it can take time to heal, but can happen much quickly with friends around.

How do you tell if a girls mad?

Well odds are she wont be all nice and sweet she will look at you than look away and get all sadish when you are around so talk to her i would want to be talked to rather than somebody being mad at me and not having any idea. To overcome it, you could first, comfort her, then talk through her problems with her, take her out to get her mind off it, and then say what all boyfriends should say I love you

Why do people break up?

I think that people break up due to bad relationships, trust, friends, etc. Me and my ex-boy friend broke up because he supposedly said that he was getting into too much trouble with the law; and he didn't wanna bring me down. I still don't believe him though.

Because they don't like each other


People brake up for many different reasons, main one is the feeling for you is no longer there or they have found someone else.

How long does love last?

Yes it can. Sometimes our expectations are too high and we think the magic we feel from the first time we date and start our relationship will last forever. Well it doesn't. There are several stages in a good marriage. You meet and fall in love and you think you're walking on air. You can hardly wait to see the person. If lucky you agree to marry and start making plans and share your hopes and dreams for the future. What we must realize during this period of time is some of the hopes and dreams will happen, but not all. You are married, you settle in and for the first couple of years all seems to go well. You may both work, may make good money and have fun. Then it's time to start a family. Manuals don't come with raising children so people can tell you how wonderful it is and some of the pitfalls, but one has to really experience it. When you and your husband see that wee babe for the first time something magical comes over the parents. It's a loving bond for them and they have created a living human being between the two of them and that's a great expression of love. They want to protect that little baby and swear upon each other's heads that they will raise that child 100%. This is well-wishing and parents simple do make mistakes raising there children, but most thankfully are good parents. You have that first baby and the mother usually stays home with the baby. Most first-time mothers are nervous, edgy and SOME may suffer from post partum blues (hormone dips that can cause a woman to feel depressed and anxious.) If lucky you husband will help you out and if he doesn't then you have to light a fire to get him started so he can take half the responsibility of raising the baby and that means getting up at all hours of the night and pacing around the room with a crying baby, feeding and also changing dirty diapers. The magic will soon go out like blowing out a candle at this stage and the mother is tired, tries to get her housework done (or perhaps is trying to work from home or catching up on classes at college by computer) and finds little time for herself. She may crave wanting to see adult friends and feels all alone taking care of the baby. It's a big adjustment, but it can be done with the understanding and willingness of the husband. The husband should give his wife time away to be with her friends every so often and there is no reason he can't babysit. Usually other children come along and by then the mother is more use to raising children, but, it's still a hectic life. Finding a good Day Care if she wants to go back to work and also being there when your child is sick, taking them to doctors, pre-school, etc. It's all worth it if both participate in rearing the children. Before you know it the children are gone and on their own and mother's will often feel that "empty nest syndrome" and is in the stage of her life she would like sometime to herself and perhaps go back to college or go back to work. This is also the time for husband and wife to make plans to go on small or large vacations (whatever a person can afford) and having the freedom to visit friends and have some fun. Before the parents know it grandchildren start coming into their lives and usually the husband and wife are quite over-joyed to participate in the grandchildren's lives, but, if smart, they also take time out for themselves and not be constant baby-sitters. A woman can go through her peri menopause and also menopause (stopping of periods) and can be cranky, edgy, have hot flashes, night sweats, but there is help out there. There may be a slight parting of the ways between husband and wife during this time, but if the wife is smart she'll educate her husband about what she is going through. Men also go through male menopause and some men can be grouchy, have hot flashes, gain weight and both can certainly feel like they are getting old far too fast. They have regrets as to things they could or should have done and mistakes they have made, but the smart husband and wife will also get over this as well. This is a time when the couple still really love each other and it's a comfortable kind of love. It should be a feeling of knowing each other well and trusting each other and spicing things up with some fun in their lives and no, sex doesn't end at this age. I have been married to my husband for 34 years and we love each other a great deal. We've been through a lot together in those 34 years and we know we can count on each other 100% and because of this strength and bond we have we love each other with comfort and also passionately. Yes, the years have left us with a few gray hairs, a few wrinkles, but when we look at each other we see each other as we did when we were in our 20s. I really wanted to explain these phases of life to you, because the question you asked couldn't be answered in a simple way. Some people are lucky and end up together for the rest of their lives, but sometimes, people want more or they feel neglected so divorce is high and cheating is too. It all depends on the couple. It's easy to give up, hard to stay at times, but sure worth it in most cases. Marcy

What to do if the girl you like is in love with her x-boyfriend?

Sit down talk to her. Tell her you guys are in a relationship. If she persists let your boyfriend contact the police. Be positive your boyfriend is not in love with this woman.

That doesn't make sense to me. I would talk to the boyfriend to discuss how you each feel. There is no relationship without communication. Whatever the outcome of a discussion with him, it's how he feels that matters (who cares how the girl feels) and it's best you know that.

How to cheer up girlfriend?

Bring her roses, compliment her, apologize for whatever you did,

How long does it take to get over someone?

There is no exact time. But you will eventually get over him/her, who knows it might take days, months, and even years but you will get over them. It took me 4 yrs to get over the person I really loved. XxPearlxX You never get over someone you love. I have to disagree. You do get over someone you have loved. I have loved three men in my life. Im over them all. I rarely even think about them and if I do there is nothing attached to it. The people you loved will always have some sort of deep underlining connection to you throughout your entire life - to ignore that and thnik it will never happen is just plain silly and somewhat immature, so becarefull to not leave a true love an a bad or sour way. Each person you love in your life will have the same profound impact on your heart, yet, it will be different when you look back on it later - Each Love will be as different, and as unique as we all look to each other in this world. You'll never truly get over a true true love but you will learn to live with out them in your life. You will even fall in love again.

Is there a love spell that can make someone love you?

There is no way to MAKE someone like you.

Its all by choice. If you want someone to like you. Spend time with that person. Become his/her friend then move on from there.

I agree with this person ^but i dont personally think spells are of the devil. true some are but lots of spells have to do with god and the bible. there may be some spell out there that helps but i have no idea what it is. the best approach i believe is to spend time with that person and go on from there as the person before me stated.

Spells are things of fantasy and myth. Stories made up for children and the ignorant. As has already been said, it is up to you to act in such a manner as to be reguarded kindly by another person. Doing so may lead to love.

What does a woman in a relationship means if she says she needs time to think etc?

That is just another polite way to say to break up.

Definitly she has someone or she is confusing between you and him.

Even though there is no other guy to her, she is probably thinking about if she should go on the relationship or not.

How can you tell if you broke your butt?

You Can't "break your Butt" but you can break your tail bone... you will tremendous am-mounts of pain especially when you bend down or crouch but really you need an X-ray

Why do you love someone that will never love you back so much it hurts?

No one really knows for sure... The truth is though, NO ONE KNOWS WHETHER OR NOT YOU WILL NOT END UP WITH THAT CERTAIN SOMEONE.

They can't truly say that they won't, but on the other side of the coin, you can't say that you will end up with them.

I know this from experience. I love this girl and she will swear up and down that she will NEVER be with me, but lately her reactions say she DOES have feelings for me. She might not want to admit this to herself, but someday (hopefully soon) she will have too.

The point is this, You might not or you might. There is no way to know for sure... The problem comes in when you make that person all of your world. There is a fine difference between that person being the center and all of your universe. If you let them be all, you're in trouble. The best thing to do make sure they are a huge part of your life, but not the center, much less all of it.

What does it mean if he texts I love you?

It depends who this guy is to you...

I have a guy best friend, he's like a brother to me and he always tells me he loves me. In a family way, does he mean it like this?

However if you think this guy may have feelings for you then maybe he said it at the end of the text because he wants to tell you but hes shy, and he has just quickly typed it and press send...

If you feel the same way, say it back?

If not ask him politely, what has made him feel this way, is it new to him and if you like him, ask him out!

He sounds sweet if you ask me ;-)

How do you break up with a girl that your not even seeing?

* This is sad and out of your control and since you won't be seeing him any longer then you have to sit down and talk to him and break up. Be sure he feels the same. There are ways to keep in contact such as email; phone calls, but if you feel this is impossible then it's better to be honest and break up. It will hurt both of you, but remember that you both aren't the only ones going through this type of pain and look towards the future.

When a guy tells you he loves you but then breaks up with you what do you do?

if he breaks up with you but he doesnt give you s good reason. well then he is just been a guy. he might want you to give it upto him. if he loves you like he say she does he will look for you and want you back but you haver to be wise about it because guys love to brain wash girls. if i were you i would let him go and if he does the impossible and looks for you well then i would think about taking him back..hope this helps

Why do boys play mind games with you?

Answer:Are you familiar with the term "sociopath?" Sociopaths are people without a conscience. They care about no one but themselves. They focus on no one's needs but their own. The normal empathy the rest of us feel for those that are smaller, weaker or younger does not exist in the sociopath. They don't feel true affection because they don't care about anyone but themselves. However, they are skilled manipulators and possess keen insight into human nature because they are excellent observers of behavior. They have however leaned how to feign feelings, concern, affecting and empathy remarkably well.

Sociopaths are out for themselves and have no problem using you to get what they want or taking it if you won't willingly give it. They use and hurt others without remorse. They never feel guilty or sorry for what they've done either. They are the ultimate parasites, taking everything they can from others while giving little to nothing back. They lie, twist facts, game on and intentionally deceive people as easily as taking a breath. Anyone that interacts with them feels drained, confused, weakened and hurt afterwards.

Answer:

It could be chalked up to poor choices or a lack of class, but guys who clown vulnerable women this way actually hurt them. Why would they inflict emotional pain that way? Perhaps some sad and dimented sadistic streak motivates them to be so intentionally cruel. There are some sick puppies out there. It could be that they have had something similar done to them and are looking for some payback. They may have learned it's "okay" to play games like that and they don't think it's wrong - even though it hurts the woman or women on whom they practice their "game" of pain. There may be other reasons. And the men who play at this may pick women they see as vulnerable because it may seem to them that this woman will be "better game" and the sinister antics will have more of an effect on that person than someone who is "less injured" coming in.

Why don't we all educate ourselves and elevate our awareness just a bit to be able to spot this kind of thing taking place? And, if we become aware of it happening, why don't we step up and step in to cut it off? If individuals know a man who is this kind of "gamer" and is bringing his "game" to their sandbox, either check the fool hard or warn his possible targets of his flawed personality. Nip the action in the bud. People who intentionally hurt other people need to be checked to the curb. And the ignorant ones who practice this kind of nonsense need to be schooled....

Answer:The same reason why cats play with their prey before they eat it, for the sick thrill of watching them squirm. It also means that they have some mental instabiity as well as some control issues.

I'm 13 and he's 17 what should I do I still love him?

your 13 so your still pretty young. How do you know its love? it could be a crush or infatuation. Like i remember when i was 13 i swore i loved somebody but i hadn't loved anyone before so your never REALLY sure until you find someone you can get involved with and really say, i love him. i'm with this dude right now, and i can honestly say i love him AND im IN love with him. theres a difference there too. Just make sure you know what your dealing with and everything. also, don't give your heart out to too many guys, because once you do that and you find someone you want to spend the rest of your life with, you'll alrady have given your heart out to others. ummm

Should you break up with your boyfriend if he barely talks to you?

NO, i know that it's not proper for a guy to just snob you... most especially you're his girlfriend.... but it's not also right for you to breakup with the guy just because of that. why don't you try to confront him?? ask him what's wrong.... and if his reason is not pleasing enough.... that's the time you must decide if you're going to break up with him or not....

YES! i did it now i am happy

I had the exact same boyfriend. I don't even think he ever noticed me so yes you should dump him. You will feel a lot better if you do. I know I did.

Does the narcissist hurt or miss the partner after a breakup?

  • Yes, sometimes a narcissist will contact their ex after a break up because the narcissist cannot imagine their ex with anyone else as the narcissist has a complex of being the greatest at everything including relationships and is ego maniacal.
