Sweetest, most romantic guy

Liz, 18, from Pennsylvania, asks: My boyfriend and I fell in love very quickly, and we are quite perfect for each other. We have often talked about our goals in life and about our future together. We've also talked about moving in together someday, and he has also told me "i'm going to marry you someday." Some weeks he is the sweetest, most romantic guy, but then the very next weekend he doesn't even call me or even talk to me. This is very confusing! Please help!

VictorM's advice: Oh, you mean he's not a little machine that behaves exactly the same way every time, and probably exactly as you would except? Welcome to the real world of humans.

What you feel is not really confusion; it's lack of understanding that people -- you included -- are unpredictable and their behavior is affected by many environmental factors, such as: mood, wanting time alone, being with his friends, having special interests (sports, video games, reading, etc), disdain for the phone, etc.

Give him the time he needs to recharge and come back as "the sweetest, most romantic guy". And while he's off recharding, find things to do on your own or with your friends, like... um... I don't know, shopping?

Comments:
Sorry sweetheart but you're not in love. I felt that way about a guy once... and then I realized what a loser he was. Sounds like your man is too. Falling in love quick seems too good to be true? It is. You WANT to fall in love and that's why you think you are. Someday you'll learn, I promise. Until then, do something constructive with your life.
 
What are you? 15? First of all, there is not enough information to tell if these two people are in love or not. So, Liz, don't listen to this person named "baby", due to the fact that her username spells it out for you. Woman are interesting creatures, and sometimes we can give all the power over to a man who says everything right. But the truth is, we lose ourselves along the way when we get involved with someone. If you can remind yourself that nothing is peramenant, life changes, and this is our ultimate understanding of our realties, then you can let go of when he;s not in front of you, just enjoy yourself blissfully when you are together. If you find yourself longing for him and his affections, just imagine him as a 50 year old man, walking around in his underwear, gripping about where the newpaper is...
Proceed to dig thineself, and thine true love will follow.
 
Hey I know what you are going through. It's the same way with my boyfriend. I love him so much. Sometimes he is the perfect boyfriend and will do anything for me. That's the way I want it to be all of the time but it's not. I just love that feeling of having someone there for you and who cares about you all of the time. Without this I feel depressed. He says that he loves me. He said that I am the first girl that he told her that he loved her and he also said hopefully the last. But other times it just seems that he doesn't have enough time to call me or talk to me. It's also hard because he lives fifty miles away which means I only get to see him about every other weekend. He even played me a song called "Someday" which basicly says that I want to be with you forever. I especially now what your talking about because a girl needs to be told that she is loved and more than just oncce. Girls need reassurance. Most of all girls need a shoulder to cry on when they need it and if not your boyfriend's then your best friend. You can never replace your best friend because she is always there for you through the good times and the bad. Let's just say she's got your back.
 
I know a guy just like this, when he's with me we have soooo much fun, and everything feels sooo right, then when I'm not with him he seems so distant, he says he's been hurt before, so he's alittle stand offish, he seems like he needs to play the part, some kind of macho image? During the week he does call me, and sends me e-mails and cards everyday...this has been going on for over a year...I do love him, just want alittle more of him more often....
 
i know exactly how you feel! i went through the same thing. i do believe that u love him. i was with this guy who told me the nicest sweetest things anybody has ever told me, and he said he loved me all the time. but don't believe him. i know the truth sucks. i really really know but he's a teenaged guy. he likes being with a girl. he'll change his mind after so long and date other girls and do the exact same thing to them because he knows that that's what girls liek to hear. i'm not saying he doesn't liek u or even love u. i don't know him and he might, but i do know that things change so be prepared!
 
Hi Liz,
Some guys have a life outside of their girlfriend. Maybe your boyfriend likes to have guys night out and drink beer. You are still young and talking about marriage right now is ridiculous in my opinion. People have moods, if we didn't,we'd all be a bunch of robots and that would be no fun.

Cheers,
