Ria,

Unfortunately darling, there isn’t much you can do accept guard yourself from getting hurt. Just a word of advice though, anyone that is willing to dip out on their relationship to fool around with you, will do it to you. Even if his intentions are admirable you should be careful. With that said, sounds like you both genuinely care for one another, so the distance is the only thing posing a problem. You noted that your parents won’t approve of your relationship like they had some type of control on who you fall in love with and live your life loving. Don’t let their approval stop you. If you want him, tell him and don’t play games. Be as bold, honest and aggressive toward him as you can, (men find that appealing). In the wild, it is the lioness that does the hunting, not the lion. I hope this helps. God bless.

Ok, Ria…

First thing I have to ask is, if the relationship ended partly due to the fact that your family would never approve, why get together in the first place? (Just curious.)

Secondly, you need to lay down some ground rules. I know you miss him, so you LIKE that he misses you and calls you a lot. But if he has another girlfriend, and INSISTS that you & him can’t be together, he needs to focus on HER and not YOU.

Being friends is cool, but not if you’re going to be hooking up every time you see each other. You may as well just be TOGETHER! lol

So decide exactly what it is you want, TELL him, then decide if it’s possible or not. If it IS, then try & make it happen. If it’s NOT, you need to either JUST be friends, or STOP talking if you guys CAN’T just keep it as a friendship. That means NO calling you 10 times in a row if you don’t answer. And NO more hooking up. You need ALL OR NOTHING. Don’t just take the scraps he’s willing to GIVE you.

Hi Ria

First off don’t be so desparate to find love…It will find you when the time is right. This guy is playing games with your emotions and you are letting him to do it. If he is calling you 10 times a day? It’s time you put some distance between the 2 of you. How can you move on when he is so demanding?

He’s got a new girl, he’s happy,…what part of this is not reaching you? Maybe he’s keeping you close in case this does not work out? You are wasting your time and effort on a guy, who obviously shows you no respect. After having a relationship with someone, it is very hard to just be friends especially when the love is still very evident! But if you don’t let go? You can not move forward!

Think about what are you now getting out this…more grief then happiness I suspect? For your sanity…give yourself some time and distance and one day he will be nothing more then a memory.

Good Luck

Dear Ria,

This man is in another relationship and has expressed no intention of leaving it. I suspect that his current girlfriend knows nothing of his “relationship” with you and if that’s true, then he’s dishonest. That’s not a quality you want in a boyfriend. If he’s dishonest with his girlfriend, he’ll be dishonest with you.

Although the level if intimacy was “low” you allowed a man who is involved with someone else to treat you like “the other woman.” His physical cheating may not have been to a high level, but he is emotionally cheating on his girlfriend. If he’ll cheat on her, he’ll cheat on you. What’s more, you compromise your self-respect by allowing yourself to be treated as he is treating you.

My suggestion is that you end this relationship completely and free yourself to find someone who will be honest and faithful to you.

Best,

Hi Ria,
He is playing games and he knows that you will always be their, so you can be friends but date someone who is going to treat you the way you deserve.

You have a lot of strikes going against you. I would suggest finding a boyfriend locally and one that your family will approve of. This will resolve the situation.

Blessings on you and yours
