I've been dating this guy for 5 months now. Recently he decided he just wants to be friends, because he is not ready for a relationship right now. he says that I made him the happiest he had ever been, but it's all him and nothing about me? We still see each other and enjoy each others company, but I am confused and don't know what to do.

My suggestion is to do as he is doing. Go out and meet some nice men. Start out slowly, by getting to know them on a friendship basis. Keep in touch with you current boyfriend on a "friends" only basis. One of two things will happen.

#1. You will make your boyfriend take a second look at you. Wondering if he was wrong to let you go. (He will, as a friend, see or hear of all your new male friends.) And ask to date you again. Or....

#2. In your pursuit of meeting some male friends, you may actually meet someone that you are genuinly interested in being with. Giving yourself time to get to know someone well, before jumping in head first, makes for a deeper, and long lasting relationship.

Good luck in finding or keeping Mr. Right. -Dena
