So last august I met a really wonderful guy. We started off dating and eventually we had sex (I was a virgin and yes I know too soon but I cant change time) and everything went great for a while, then around December things changed. We had a talk and he confessed to me that he didn't feel that "spark" and thought we should just be friends. I challenged him and demanded to know why he couldn't see us together and he told me that there were many factors. Among them were my culture, education, career, political views, the fact that I'm not as passionate about video games as he is and a couple more. I'm 19 and he is 25, obviously I'm not as educated and advanced in my career as him. I have a full time job at a bank (for 3 yrs) and I'm attending college full time as well, not to mention that I make more money than most people who already have their college degrees. Well needless to say that these reasons hurt me like hell, but I decided to remain friends with him because by that time I had fallen in love with him (true love, not because he was my first everything). On new yrs day we agreed to try to make things work but he told me that if someone came along and he felt that spark he would go after them. Well on Jan 2nd a girl winked at him on Match.com and he became very interested in her. She apparently had everything I couldn't offer him (educated, very good job, same ethnicity, etc). He told me about her and I gave him permission to see where that went because I know that otherwise he was going to regret not having tried with her. Throughout all this we continued having sex and 3 weeks ago I had a miscarriage with our baby. I didn't tell him at first because I was unsure I had miscarried. I told him my fears about my possible miscarriage and he was there with me all the way. We ended up spending that weekend together and his attitude was completely different from the one I was used to. He opened up to me, told me about his plans for the future, what he actually thought about me (thought, not felt), he showed me he cared and so much more. Once the weekend was over he started sending me messages everyday checking up on me and when I asked him about the girl from Match he said he wasn't too sure about her anymore. I asked him what had changed and told me that after I left for the weekend she invited him over to study and when he got home he started comparing the two of us. He was confused in what he felt for us. Apparently he really couldn't figure out why he could see himself dating her and not me. Since then he has told me that I do have everything he is looking in a girl but by this time he had already a date set up with the girl and said he felt bad cancelling it. Their date was supposed to be on Valentines day but due to his work he was unable to make it, instead we spent Valentines day together and took Friday off and literally spent the rest of the weekend together as a happy couple. So on Monday night he gets a text from her asking him if hes mad at her and he told her no. She doesn't know I even exist. I asked him yesterday if he still plans on going on a date with her and he said not a date but having dinner and that he has to as he feels he owes it to her. He also told me that after the wonderful weekend we spent together I had no reason to feel jealous. So my question is this ladies.....is this acceptable? If he decides he wants to be with me, should I take him back? Also, what should I do about him still wanting to have dinner with the other girl, should I confront him or what?
Please be nice....

He's just keeping you around till he finds somebody who he THINKS is better. It's not you, he's just an ass.
1This is nOT acceptable. Hes going out on a date with another girl, and stringing you along. you dont see this? or you dont want to see it? hes just keeping you around to have sex with you, hes not interested in your future together, cause there is no future.
2What he owes the other girl, and you, is to tell her he is in love with someone else, and therefore he cannot see her. Didn't mean to lead her on, sorry, etc. etc. Don't let him treat you like this, and try to convince you it is OK. I question his commitment and feelings for you.
3Wow - this is obviosuly your first serious relationship. This guy broke up with you months ago, yet you keep hanging on. I'll tell you this for sure: he is not confused. He knows exactly what he wants, and he's getting it. At his convenience. Break up with him and don't look back. This isn't one you can be friends with, either.
4Wake up and stop making excuses for his behavior.Show him the door and tell him not to let it hit him in the a$$ on his way out......He's a colossal moron and he's wasting your time.
5HELL NO this isn't acceptable. Have a back bone and find some self confidence and kick his ass to the curb and trust me.. he'll come running back like they all do..
6yes-they do all come running back when you dump them and when i dated i always noticed that the girls who wouldn't put up with crap-they did come running back to them. HOWEVER, dump him and don't take him back-he is an ass. If you do continue with him, you need your head examined.
7'nuff said.
8Please be..nice..to who?
You or him?
If you mean him, he's already got his cake and eat it too. I don't have to be nice to him, but he seems to be doing alright for himself right now. If I have no moral compass, I'd be like applauding him for pulling the thing he's pulling right now.
If you mean you, then you KNOW already how dumb the whole thing is. You're not even 'safe.' I have news for you, if he's not even willing to put on a condom around you, what makes you think that he's wearing a condom with any other girl he's currently sleeping with? And if you're going to take his word like "Baby I'm always protected." BS. Then why not with you? You miscarried, so I'm assuming you're not practicing any safe sex. Don't even attempt to bring a child in this friends-with-benefit arrangement this man has with you in hope that you get him to stay. I really feel sorry for that child if you even go that far.
I don't think you're ready to let him go regardless how far he has demeaned you and basically treated you in the way that no woman in their right mind should be treated. But unfortunately, you feel this is the way things should be, then if you think this is normal for him to do so..don't even complain or post like this. Like another poster say, if you let it continue, then you do need your head examined.
By the way YES men do act SWEET and lovely to GET LAID (or at least steady sex) with a girl, I mean, remember: you'll get more 'bees' if you entice them with 'honey.'
Sorry, your post just p!sses me off a great deal. If you actually have a brain, you'd dump him and not take him back. He's not even a good friend, for god's sake, he's already looked down on you. I don't want a friend like that. And get TESTED for STI. I won't be surprised if you've caught something, and yeah, most men are 'dormant' and carrier so watch out when one day you'll get something.
9Oh honey...
A friend of mine called me once regarding a guy she'd been sleeping with. She wasn't protected either. She ended up with herpes - a constant, lifelong reminder to use condoms, as well as common sense.
He. Is. Not. Serious. About. You.
If he is dating other women, he has already moved on. Why is he still calling you? He is calling you because he knows he can talk to you. He is calling you because he knows you will talk to him. If he is trying to sleep with you, it's because he knows you'll agree to it.
Love yourself enough to let him go. You're young, and you've got the world in front of you. Go out and enjoy it.
10Respect yourself because it's obvious he doesn't.
11Please, break up with him. This guy doesn't respect you. You know you deserve somebody better.
First of all, I think the reasons he gave you for breaking up were mere excuses.
Then he decided to stay with you just because it was comfortable and easy. He gets all the sex he wants while he is looking for somebody "better".
Right now things may be great between you two. But if someone comes along and he feels the "spark", don't you think he will leave you? It'll be so painful for you if he falls in love with somebody else.
Then if his new relationship doesn't work, he'll come back to you.
Please, don't be his second option, his backup.
