    Dear Hang:

    You got upset when he told you he wants to meet you for fun, while he has another girlfriend, because this is not what you want. You want him to be serious about you (to “seriously…start again with me but until now he told me he thought I knew that we couldn’t be anything serious.”)

    You asked: “What does this (his offer to see you for fun while he has a girlfriend)  mean? Does he love her or not?”-

    It means that he doesn’t respect you and he doesn’t respect her. If a person does not respect another, that person is not loving of that person. And so… he loves you not and he loves her not.

    If you agree, what do you think you should do/ say to him?

    Hi Hang,

    He wants to make sure you are still in the wings. He doesn’t want to see you exclusively, and yet he wants to make sure you are always around.

    Let him call/text/FB/email you. But don’t respond. On his third try of communication, respond back: “Stop stalking me” (see what I did there?) and then block him.

    Make sure you are with a group of people and are never alone with him in person. And stop checking his social media, which is probably updated for you (not her).

    Bonus if you get into a new relationship and have the other person answer your phone when he calls.

    Time to cast him loose.

    Good Luck!

    Hi Hang:

    It looks like you got some great answers, but just wanted to add my 2 cents. If you don’t love him, is there any particular reason you want him back? Write down on a piece of paper the pros and cons of what he have you in the relationship and why you are now better off without him. Let’s say, you did get back together with him..it’s very hard to rekindle the flames you had before..then you will wander, why you took him back and be more miserable..and it will take you that much longer to get over him.

    We always want what we can’t have. Do you just want him back, because you are lonely when you see him happy with this new girl? Try to have a clean break with him..and please don’t go on his Facebook profile, Twitter, etc, it will only make you more upset..don’t answer his calls..don’t go where he hangs out..change your number if you have to. Get rid of all reminders of him..you don’t have to throw it away, just put it in a box under the bed where you can’t see them.

    Try to keep busy, so you are not thinking about him so much. Be happy with yourself and your life, and then the right man will see you as a happy strong independent woman and gravitate toward you. Men don’t like women checking up in them..drama, intensity, jealousy..so work out any issues of you have these so you can have a happy and healthy relationship with a man who is emotionally available and wants to commit to you.

    Hello Anita, Inky and Eliana,

    I would like to thank you all for your advice. I have wondered if I love him and my answer is Yes. I know through my post, it was not enough to describe about this guy. I have confided in him and I had my answers for most of my questions. I understood why he behaved like this or that. He had been cheated 9 times in the past and grew up with a harsh father. The more I know him, the more I love him. When I asked him if he loves her, he was confused for some seconds then said Yes. But I after that still showed him my sentiment because I simply don’t like to hide my emotion. I told him I love him not because I wanted him to make a choice or expect him to chose me but just wanted him to know that. Even right now, I no longer feel jealous. If he doesn’t chose me, I would get disappointed but after all his happiness is the what important to me even if it is not me.

    I am now not doing anything ( not stalking his FB, messaging him or anything ) but let things happen naturally. What will we, will be.

    I really appreciate your help. Have a nice day, wonderful girls!

    Dear Hang:

    It feels good to be secure in your own love for him: feels warm and comfortable, doesn’t it?

    Thing is, if you want a loving relationship, it would take you and a man loving each other. Loving a man from afar, no matter what, is comforting at times, but there is no progress in it. There is nothing that is going on, life advancing or developing. All you have is a feeling and day-dreaming.

    Hi Hang:

    Thank you for writing and letting us know what has been going on. It sounds like you are handling this in a very mature manner, and I’m proud of you. Now, if only I can do the same in my relationships, they would not be so short lived, chaotic, intense and turbulent. Hopefully, things will get better after my intensive DBT therapy and 12 step programs. I try to have faith.

    Please keep us informed of any more progress and updates, but it sounds like you are on the right track toward a healthier relationship, and always remember to make yourself number 1.
