Guys!!! i need your help BIG TIME!
okay. so me and this guy have been pretty good friends for over a year now. (we've always had a bit of a crush on one another.) i didn't have a date for my senior prom and we decide to go together. he is in college right now btw. we hang out at a friend's party one night after not seeing each other for months, and we have sex. after that night we've been "talking" and hanging out. its been at least 2 months now. he had me meet his parents and his close nit group of college buddies. (his mom and dad love me and his friends have adopted me into their group. i'm guessing that's a good thing) so i was hanging out with him in his dorm on sunday night after getting back from a kegger and we were talking and he says he just doesn't want a girlfriend right now. so i gave him his space. he noticed my distance the rest of the night and continued to explain that he was hurt so bad from his first love(and first real relationship) that he just doesn't want to get hurt again, even though he reaalllllyyy likes me and cares about me alot. i used to be friends with his ex so i know everything that happened. this was the first time he's ever felt that way about someone and the first time he's ever been hurt.
okay so now my question... what do i do? i figured i'd just back off a bit and see how it goes. if he doesn't want a girlfriend why should i act like one? and i'm not trying to turn into some booty call, but we like each other alot. i just don't know what i should do. got any advice for me???
