November 9, 2012 3:02am CST
I met this guy few weeks ago and we have been going out together since. He is very gentle, kind, and we have a lot of affection for each other. We are always together and listen to each other a lot. sometimes we treat each other like we are so much in love. Many times he got jealous when im being friendly to another man. But also many times he told me not to like him so much. Im very confused because i do care for him and honest to how i feel. So i dont know if i should just leave him alone. Any opinion? Thank you!

kodukodu: I think the relationship is too new to decide whether or not you should leave this man or not but I would be concerned about his jealousy. I would not let that get out of hand. You need to make him understand that he cannot choose your friends for you. You are who you are with the personality that you have. No one should make you feel the need to change that. I think his telling you not to like him so much may stem from his own insecurities.Has he asked you to leave him alone? If so, then you should. If not, then give him a little space and time to sort out his feelings and miss you a little bit. I also think to save your own sanity you need to have a real heart to heart talk with him. He knows how you feel, but I don't think you know how he truly feels yet. I would advise that you take a step back and slow things down. Concentrate on building the friendship and let God and nature do the rest. If it is meant to develop into a more serious relationship, it will when you both are ready for it. I hope that what I have said will bring you some comfort. I hope that it works out for you the way you desire for it to. I will keep you in my prayers that God may lead you in the direction you should take.

Hi deedee, thank you so much for your comment. I appreciate it. I see few important points from your comment and im really happy. He had not asked me ever to leave him alone but already few times he claimed that i seemed like wanting him to leave me alone. He always want to be with me even though i have many times told him that he can do his own thing like meeting his friends if he needed too. I dont mean to push him away but i just wanted to give him space especially this relationship is very new. Thank you so much for sharing :)

HI KODUKOD84, I have been with this kind of relationship, I agree with deedee, that relationship is new, try to know him more before its too late, you might end up falling inlove with him of you allow him further, Tell him you appreciate he came into your life but you need to think and know him more. If he wants you to know him more that means theres a fat chance of you being together. Start from scratch, some guys take advantage of the easy way and leaving us behind because theres nothing is interesting on us because we let them take advantage. GOodluck.... :)

I agree with deedee too. When I was in college, I also met I guy and after a few months of being together I also got confused. He works abroad and before he left, I told him I might not be around anymore if he leaves. I like the guy so much that we see each other everyday after my class. In my experience, I thought he would never call me or email me after he leaves so I went on with my daily duties. After a month a received 15 missed calls and an email stating that he's going to try to work with our relationship even he's far away, so I helped him. You might not know he's really serious if you wont help him too. In your relationship right now, it's really common to be confused. What lacks in your relationship is you don't know where to stand in his life. You're thinking if you're really part of him or not. You have to talk to him about this to lessen your confusion. The guy I met when I was in college is now my husband. We we're able to know each other more even we're apart, you're lucky that you can see him everyday till now. Just don't waste the opportunity that you have with him. You will never know, he might be the one you're looking for.

That could be confusing....so how do you call your relationship? I think it would be better if you sit down with him and talk about what is the real score between the two of you. Try to figure out how much do you value each other. Then maybe you'd know if you should stay or leave.

Hi jenny, you gave the good point there! I have also wondered what to call this relationship. So far, its no name hehe. But i will try to slowly speak to him about it so i know when to move on and take the next step. I appreciate your comment so much, thank you.

I think that this didn't happen to only you. I guess there are just people who become close and have become more than friends but barely lovers. Very awkward situation, right? It is much better that you will be able to know of how he really feels about you and if he is ready for a commitment or he might be just seeing you as a friend but a little more than that.

If you think you are not happy with the relationship, then why keep holding on. If you do not trust the person and you are not happy with the situation, there is no reason keeping the relationship. Maybe you are not compatible or maybe you are choked the way he treat you. Jealousy is normal in every relationship, but too much of it will kill the love as well.

Hi jaiho, Hahaha yeah maybe i am really choked with the way he treats me hehe. But honestly i really do treat him the same way he treat me too. Sometimes i think maybe he is not ready for relationship but why bother getting into relationship and be like very in love everyday if he is nor yet ready for relationship right? Thank you so much for your comment :)

Sounds to me this man doesn't know what he wants. He is behaving posessive and jealous and telling you at the same time you should not care about him that much. Since you only knw eachother for some weeks I think this is a bad sign. It am not saying you have to quit with this relationship but I think it's wise to keep meeting other people and have a life of our own as well. It's abnormal not to be kind to other people. Including other man. If he can not live with it at this stage already it will only get worse and he will make one big misery out of your life. I wish you a lot of friends and wisedom.

You have the right to feel confused given the circumstances. The only logical thing to do is to have a serious talk with him by laying all the cards on the table to avoid confusion.

not sure other think what, for me, i will tell him how exactly i feel towards him, and ask him, what he what from this relationship. if he is serious, i accept but if he like dilemma, dont know what he want, it better just be a friend or not being friend at all

Hi ungu, thank you for your comment. Maybe you are right but maybe it would be too early to ask. I really dont know. Im just confused when he told me not to like him so much when he seems to be acting opposite. I mean he always want to be with me, and always try to understand me. He knows very well that im not a kind of girl who find man only for his money and material. And so far i never cared of what he has.

You just knew him. I suggest you to make friend with him first before you go for serious relationship with him. Get to know him better, his background, his job, friend and family as a friend first. Then later you will have all the answer what you should do with your relationship. It's not good to go serious when we just knew someone. You might just have a broken heart sooner.

Yeah it's hard to know about these things.You have known him for a short period of time so there is still time to get to know him. Hopefully things will work out for the best for you two. Relationships and getting to know someone takes time.

I think you can get this relationship as confusing as you allow it to be. Are you guys friends? Then don't go like a couple. Are you guys going the path to being a couple eventually? Then this should also be cleared between you two. Try to clarify what's really going on between you two and how you want this relationship to be. Tell him if you're expecting something out of it, and tell him what bothers you. The worst that can happen is you two will end up as just friends, which is also okay since you just started talking just recently. Unless of course you guys are in a hurry, but for what?

I think you need to clarify if it is exclusive. But if not, then you need to think it over. Good day!

Simple way to make good relationship is we have honest each other. Don't ever try to create a relationship if we don't trust each other. If you don't like about anything from him, just tell to him. Don't hidden your feeling. I always make a relationship with my lover became something that make me enjoy my life every day

So it was few weeks ago and it seemed both of you are enjoying together. I can see from your statement, the guy likes you too however, I think there's a problem when he told you not to like him so much. You might already know the reason why and would suggest not to really hold on to the feelings because it will hurt you a lot assuming things which doesn't really exist. If this is bothering you too much, try to be honest to him and ask him what is his stand. It's better to know the truth early that holding on to your false hope. I've been there and it's hard...
