n_j_stringy asked this question on 7/12/2000:

I need advise I know I'm an expert but I'm stuck. I'm dating this guy. We've been really good freinds for awhile but, he was grounder when we first started dating and he got un-grounded Monday and he promised he'd call me. But he didn't. I don't know what to do. His dad is a jerk and doesn't let him talk on the phone much but he could call when his dad wasn't home couldn't he. I just don't know what to do, because there is this guy that i like and he kinda likes me and he can drive and we would ba able to see eachother but I don't know if I should dump my b/f and go for the other guy or should I just wait until he calls me and he gives me in explantion. Please help. Thanxs, NJStringy

Dear n_j_stringy,

Your boyfriend deserves a chance to try to explain the situation. Unfortunately, he broke his promise to call, but there may be a rational explanation. Give him a chance.

But, the fact is that you are also interested in another guy. Explore your feelings as to why you like this other guy. Is it just because he is convenient (has a car and has more time to spend with you). Or does he have the same kinds of qualities that you admire in your current boyfriend. Think about what it is you like about each guy, and prioritize what is the most important things to you.

If transportation and ease of access to see him are #1 on your list, then dump your current beau and see the new guy. But if characteristics such as intellegence, sense of humour, honesty, compassion, integrity, morals, etc. are important to you, then you have to compare and see which one offers more to you.

If convenience were a factor in most girls' minds, then would Juliet have been in love with Romeo? Probably not.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.
