could somebody tell me why most males these days act they way the do? ive talk to males that are my age or 2 or three years older than me and its all the same. when im ready to b in a relationship and accept a person for who they are and have a talk with them so we have an understasding that isnt good enough. the boy i use to be with cheated on me and then we broke up. we have been broken up for almost two years and he just cant let go. i was part of the p roblem and i would still talk to him and try to get back with him but then i realized that i was too good for him because i gabe him plenty of time to change and he just wont. i told him i cant b with someone that lies for no reason. now that he found out im goin away to school and im on my road to success he wants to be in my face all the time. why is when u are not interest in someone at all they for some reason wanna cry to u and explain how mush in love with u they are and how they miss u? i use to feel bad because we were together for 3 years off and on and becuz i still loved him. i try to date other people and get over him but part of me still want to give him chance. but i know i dont want to go away and try to have a long distance relationship. i kno that im able to do but i know that he wouldnt b able to handle it because hes very jealous. what should i do?

I think this happens to all females everywhere. The meet a guy and things are great for the first few months, then he starts to show his ass. And we never expect it because we always think this one "is different". Like the comment before mine, men don't usually mature until about 30ish, and even then there's still alot of work to be done.
However, if you really want to get rid of this guy there's an age old solution. (Unless he's the stalker type in which cause deperate actions need to be taken). Tell him that you want to get married. Yeah that right girl drop the "M" word and I bet you within the span of two weeks he'll disappear.
Or, if you're not into the dramatic, you could simply ignore him. Pretend like you don't see him, you can't hear him, all of that eventually he'll get the point.
Good Luck!

I agree with Alex. I have the same problems girl, but right now I am not focusing on a relationship right now. It's good that you are dating other boys. You are free to do so. Don't let him get in the way of you success. There is many boys out there that will probably be better off with you then he is. Keep strong especially as a black girl. Most of us are going through the same thing with these black male counterparts. We have learn to be wise in situations likes these. Just keep seeking but don't let it get in the way of your studies. You don't have time for that.

You have two problems. One...you expect to be with someone and change them. That is NOT going to work. The only way you could change an adult is by a life-altering experience. A relationship is not considered be one, so that's why things turned out they way they did.

Two...you're talking to the wrong men. Not all men act the way he did. There are some men out there that will actually be just right for you, but you pass him up because of something minor. Don't feel bad; we all pass up that someone special.

Just pray and take your time. The right man will be there before you know it. And do something else...LET HIM GO!!!

Just focus on school. My girlfriend is staying in Chicago to go to a community college because of her volleyball scholarship. I, on the otherhand, will be going to UAPB for college and she told me that she wouldn't be able to handle it. As sad as it is to say this we all know that you can't depend on some people and I expect that. As for your on and off boyfriend you should leave 'em. That way when you do become successful you can push aside all the men like him and settle with someone that suits your paradime (preferences) okay? Take care.

You are yound and have to stop focusing on the minor details. The first mistake you TRUTHFULLY made was that you blame yourself. It is not selection or not talking enough. Too many times, women and men blame themselves for things their partners do. We are not responsible for other people's actions. You are incharge of your destiny and should not base decisions on what you want your partner to do, say or how you would like him/her to be. As the other person previously stated, people don't change because we want them to. They must change because THEY want to. The only person you can get to change is yourself! Be happy, live your life and remember that you must make yourself happy before all others (after GOD, of course) because we cannot make other people happy. Even though you are too long, life is too short. Just remember, when the time comes, the person meant for you will come to you. Don't go seeking, because it is meant to happen naturally. Understand that you can't prevent infidelity, but you can learn from it. Explain to the next person about what you went through, don't want to go through again and will not tolerate. Then give the other person their turn. If nothing comes of this, then so be it. However, don't rush into anything! Be patient and just be you. YOUR TURN WILL COME.
