Will he wait for me?
Q. I met this guy who is a few years older than me and I’m currently 16. When my parents found out about him they were really upset, however I can’t seem to let go of him because I do like him a lot. I have tried to move on but he always seems to be in the back of my mind - is it because I never really got to say goodbye? Also, since he is older my parents said to me that I was being played, but how can I really tell if this is true? I have told him that I think we should wait it out and he seems to agree, but will he stick to this or is it just another ploy?
A. Oh man, I’ve been in a similar situation before and it’s no fun! I’m assuming you’re trying to move on because your parents told you to stop hanging out with him? It’s always way harder to let someone go when you’re not the one making the decision, although it does sound like your parents are legitimately just trying to look out for you. (I do think it’s a bit unfair to assume he’s playing you just because he’s older though - unless he’s actually been messing you around!)
My take on it? If this guy’s a keeper he’ll stick around - and unfortunately the only way to find out is to wait and see. Maintaining an emotional bond with someone is a big deal though, even if you’re not ‘officially’ together, and I wouldn’t recommend doing so unless you really connect with this guy and think you want to be with him in the long term.
That said, it’s damn hard to control love! As logical as we try to be about it, when we really care about someone it’s near impossible to shut that feeling down. I say, don’t try to fight how you feel about this guy, but do protect your heart and do do your best to respect your parents’ wishes. If this relationship is meant to be your feelings for this guy will only grow, and hopefully everyone will end up on the same wavelength eventually!

Love has no define age or gender. You say you really like this guy and have tried to let go of him but he’s still in the back of your mind considering you’ve already stated that you don’t know if it was because you didn’t get to say goodbye? hmmmmm I’m guessing that you only did what was your parents best interest instead of your own? but if you feel that waiting it out will best the right decision at the moment and he agrees, I think it’s worth a try. Only time will tell, that seems to be the case here.  Posted by whetu -xx- "on" 02/05 "at"04:41 PM |

you can’t control love, & love can’t be controlled. this a tricky situation & he seems to be always in the back of your mind because you’re not over him.as for your parents saying you’re getting ‘played on’, they’re looking out for, but at the same time they/you don’t know that for real (or do they?). only YOU can tell or make up what to do, because it’s the way you feel about him. having to breakup with someone because of what others said, it sucks! ive been in the exact same situation, but i chose not too react on what my family said, and i just stuck with guy and im still wiht him now. you’re family should love you for who you are, what choices you make & who you are!
