Jazmin, 18, from Texas, asks: Me and my ex boyfriend lasted 7 months going on to 8. We were really close and we fell in love so soon. He said he loved me very much but just 2 days ago he broke up with me. He said because he didn't feel the same about me anymore. He also said because I was going to graduate and leave him because he is younger than me but I just don't understand why all of the sudden he broke up with me. Should I ask him why? I really miss him a lot. He was my first love!

VictorM's advice: Don't bother asking him why. He'll just make stuff up to avoid hurting your feeling. But it's not the age; after all, he knew the ages 7 months ago.

He just fell out of love with you. It happens. Doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you or that there is something you could have done differently. Many times, for reasons we can't really explain, love just fades. I'm guessing that's what happened to him.

Assuming I'm right, he did the right thing by breaking up with you. Now he can move on and so should you. He was your first love but he won't be your last. And when you move on I hope you remember your first love with affection. Carrying good memories in your heart only makes you a happier person.

Concentrate your energies on the future; the past is out of your control.
