If your into chaos, drama, confusion in a relationship then he would seem to make a perfect mate. If you are looking for a mature relationship with honesty, RESPECT and trust - then keep moving sunshine! Open your eyes, trust yourself and what you see...Listen to what he's truly saying to you (the excuses probably get more dramatic by the moment). Everyone enjoys being needed, wanted and desired - thats human nature BUT not to have to beg for someone to care. If he wants to spend time with you - he's a "big boy" he will find a way - friends or no friends. Who is he having this 'relations' with YOU or his friends?? Have RESPECT for yourself - your a gift from God - get into "healthy" relationships (including friends & family) and find out what YOU like to do/ and what you truly want in a relationship - and in YOUR life. P.S. Thought to ponder...If people pay for water (bottled), music (ipod), internet (we're all here), nice dinners - you get the idea - why on earth would you give a way YOU! Don't we all like some of the finer things in life - we are willing to save and work hard to pay for it right!?! YOU are a FINE person in life, don't sell yourself short...you are worth the hard work and wait -find someone that deserves YOU (he's probable standing right in front of you and you don't know it!) :O)
