I love him, but he wants to explore other options while he's at college...

Question - (31 July 2005) 2 Answers - (Newest, 2 August 2005)
A female , anonymous writes:

I met the fella of my dreams. He is 18 and I am 24. He starts college on August 1st and now decides he wants to go and be free while he is school to do whatever he wants. He wants us to just be friends and let our relationship grow.

I don't have a problem with that at all but I don't want this to last forever. He says he loves me and I am the only woman for him, but he still wants to see what life has to offer without me/serious relationship. I said I will wait for him as long as he wants.

Please help. I don't understand this is the first time I have ever been in love and I am going nuts...

auntiebunny agony auntIf you're the only woman for him then why does he feel the need to explore other 'options'?- I presume by this he means 'explore other women' to put it crudely. It seems as though this guy wants the best of both worlds and you're not really doing yourself any favours by giving him unlimited time to play away. Although I can see where he's coming from- he is an 18 year old male in his prime after all, I think the best option is to let him go. It may hurt now but it'll hurt even more when you find out about all his other exploits if you stick around. Good luck x x x

If you are the only woman for him and he loves you then he wouldn't want to be free to see what life can offer him. He would want to be with you. You need to let him go and never look back. Come on think..... would you ever let go someone you loved and truly believed he was the one. He wants to explore his options and keep you hanging in case he can't find anyone better. Just walk away hun!
