Dear Alex,
Okay, so I was friends with this guy, let's call him Fred, for quite a while. I told him absolutely EVERYTHING! We would fight a lot, but he would always apologise afterwards because he knows that I need him. I've been going through a really rough stage, and I'm losing a lot of friends each day, but he's always been by my side. I rely on him. Then he admitted that he liked me, and asked me out. A few days later, we were dating. Then, one day, he wouldn't reply to any of my messages. I texted, called, facebook messaged, NOTHING! So, I gave up and told him that I was going to hang out with some of the guys. He came almost instantly and told him that I should consider it as him dumping me. We fought, and a few days later he apologised to me because he knew I wouldn't do anything with those guys. He says he still likes me, and that he would love to still date me, but for some reason I hold back. Why am I holding back, and should I date him again?

Dear skyship123,
hm... strange.. well honestly. I feel like your holding back because one day the guy isn't going to be there for you anymore. The way he was with you already proves that.. maybe it isn't right to date him. Maybe you guys are better off friends. Some people aren't meant to be together and that's okay. You can still have that shoulder to cry on and that someone to run to before getting any further than that. I mean, have you asked him why he just stopped replying to you? If he has a legit reason for it then yeah I guess you can try again. But for me that's like a red flag. Somethings going on that's a little strange even if he says that he likes you and stuff. Then again, couples do go through stuff like this all the time. It's not really up to me if you want to go out with the guy still or not. Go with your gut. What is it telling you? If you have doubts then I wouldn't go forward until you are absolutely sure you still want to be with him. And if your gut is sure that you want to be with him then do that. But as of right now, it doesn't seem like your gut is allowing you to move forward with this guy. Just tell him, you need a bit more time to think about it. If that's the case. Talk if you need to talk and be friends if it can't be anything else.
I hope this helps :)
Alex
