Whar does a guy mean by this

"we need to take a break but i still love you and want to go out with you later. and i still want to hangout with you" wtf???

It sounds exactly how it does. It sounds like he's telling you he's not ready to be in that type of relationship, that he needs time to figure the things in his life or himself out, but hopes that the two of you can still remain friends.

Why do you doubt him?

He doesn't want to be with you at the moment. He's trying to figure things out. You should just give him some space so he can think things through.

Sounds to me like hes tagging you along in case all his other options fall through. He could be telling the truth, but dont wait for him. If other options come by theres no reason for you to pass them up for a guy who claims to love you but wont commit.

^ I can understand what you're saying, and you could be right, but I honestly don't see it. Like Britt said, if he didn't mean the things he said; if he didn't still love her, didn't want to still be with her or didn't want to still be friends, he wouldn't have bothered to tell her that he did.

It doesn't mean he doesn't love her, doesn't want to commit or doesn't want to be friends. He could be just going through a rough time in his life, needs time to/for himself to straighten out, and doesn't want to drag her down with him in the process.

Regardless, at least he was honest with her and respectful about it.

But you're completely right about one thing, and I agree, that she shouldn't be waiting on him. That is, depending on how long they've known or been in a relationship with each other, it could be easier said than done.

With that said, to the original poster:
How long have you known or been in a relationship with this guy?

Deja vu, I've been in your exact (almost) situation before, almost a year ago, with my boyfriend of 3 years. We've been together for 4 years now & our relationship since that time has grown stronger than ever. If you'd like me to share my story, experience and further advice with you, I'd be happy to PM you. Don't be afraid to PM me.

:)

You could be right. I just get the impression that by saying he still wants to hang out and eventually date, that he's trying to get the phyiscal benefits of a relationship without having to commit, while keeping her chasing after him.

The original post was pretty vague, but that's the first thing that crossed my mind. It's a pretty cynical viewpoint so I hope I'm wrong. :)

Well, it all turns out that he just said that so i wouldnt be angry with him when he broke my heart. I found out he had another girlfriend 3 hours after he broke up with me. so yeah. apperantly i wasn't good enough for him. and he didnt have the balls to tell me. and he just let me find out on my own. so i gues pretty much my 5 months of love was all based on lies and fake "i love you's"

"And i still want to hangout with you"

Pretty immature.

Some guy who can't stand up for his own words. What makes you think he deserved you In the first place? Oh, wait don't answer that question now.. save It for later. Your gonna need It.

Only 5 months... That itself would have explained a lot. Which is why I thought I'd ask just how long you've been in a relationship.

"apperantly i wasn't good enough for him"

^ That's a pretty piss poor attitude you got & very low opinion of yourself. I don't think your heart being broken by some boy is the real problem... At least he didn't drag you on further into a pointless relationship, at least he let you go. Now it's your turn to let it go, to let him go. You need a new outlook on life & more self-esteem, otherwise if you don't you're only doing yourself damage & he'll be the only one to reap his reward. Take a look back on this; these last 5 months, learn from the experience, let go & move on with your life and your head held high.
