writes:dear cupid,I have been dating this boy for about two months, I really liked him and I thought he really liked me too. but last night he broke up with me, his original reason was that I was too smart for him and he was too dumb for me. I am pretty sure he is dyslexic and that's why he thinks he is dumb, but I'm not 100% sure though. Then he said he didn't think we could even be friends. I am the first girlfriend he has ever had. Then today he told me he thought about it and the actual reason is that.... well he said to me "my life doesn't need a girlfriend in it yet" and then he said he really wanted to remain good friends. We both agreed to try to forget it and just remain good friends like we were before. He said on a scale of one to ten of how much he likes me a 7, so he still likes me, but now i'm confused. Please help?

I think it's best to just stay friends because if I push for anything more I will probably push him away. I really like this boy but being friends with him is probably the best thing that's happened to me in a long time and I don't want to jeopardise that. Again thanks for the great advice, any more would be appreciated if you feel necessary thanks.

You dont need the heartache in your life just yet, believe me. He's just decided he wants to focus on other things at this stage in his life, which is only to be expected. He likes you, wants to be friends but JUST friends at present.
Neither of you are ready... Sorry and good luck xx

 He can't handle having a GF.. yet. So I suggest you decide if you can be a FRIEND to him or not. Not a ex-gf who still likes him, but an actual FRIEND. If you can't, then be honest and tell him.
I think the whole you are too smart for me was an excuse he used hoping it wouldn't hurt your feelings.
You are both still young, there really IS no hurry in dating.
