I'm a teen girl and coming up for 2months ago my long term boyfriend split up with me because he was having problems at home and couldn't deal with the extra stress. This could of been an excuse but I do know that they were having problems, even so.

I don't know whether it's just wishful thinking but I get the feeling he still loves me as on msn his names are calling out I still love you, I always catch him looking at me, and his friends are always keeping tabs on my love life.

I must admit, we don't talk anymore. Sure, if I speak to him he doesn't ignore me but he would never make the effort. Baring in mind whenever I do speak to him, he sends me mixed messages.

So am I wishful thinking? Does he just want me to still like him to boost his ego? Or is it the real thing and I should act while I can?

Dazzerg agony auntThis is one of those things that its going to be hard for us to answer because at the end of the day you know this guy (and probably know the answer to your own question too). The bottom line is that if he just wants you to boost his ego then keeping you at this distance isnt going to do that is it?? Changing his MSN name does nothing for his ego. If he was sleeping with you and then forgetting about you then you would have a strong case that he was just using you.

I think a far more likely explanation for his distance is that the same reason you keep him at a distance, there are raw, hurt feelings involved and its better to shut them out. It's all about self-preservation. When words are absent then you have to judge by his actions. Since there are nothing in his actions that you have mentioned to suggest you are just an ego boost you have to go with that.

I am sorry if that was a little blunt -blushes-. Hope it helps though. Take care and good luck.
