Did I overreact??? Opinions?

I had this "boyfriend" who I was with for a couple of months. He was my first and I wanted to be in a committed relationship with him but he wasn't ready for a girlfriend. We agreed to be friends but he kept acting like we were going out, holding my hand and doing all these cutesy things. He said he would call me to have dinner but only called two weeks later and I know he went to go party over the weekend. I got so mad at him because I still had strong feelings for him and he obviously didn't even have time for me that I cut him out of my life, despite his efforts to talk to me. He recently contacted me and said he was really sorry and that he missed me. We agreed to be friends again and he said that I overreacted and made a big deal out of nothing but I still think what he did was pretty bad. What are your opinion on this situation?

    I think he's a bit stupid. I mean, seriously, that's idiot-worthy, him telling you that you overreacted and made a big deal out of nothing. I don't completely understand this, but I think you're saying that he said you'd have dinner and then he rang two weeks later, and he'd gone clubbing/partying instead of being with you.

    Well, that was a bit stupid of him. Yeah, he shouldn't have made plans over you. Normally, I would say that you overreacted.

    But, to me, this guy sounds like he's SERIOUSLY messing with your head. Girl, I think you should leave him a bit. If he says he's not ready for a girlfriend, but still keeps up the cutie stuff - that's stupid. Look out for another guy.

    This guy definately does not deserve you

    But, anyway, I hope I helped you! Good luck :)

    Typical behavior- wants to have his cake and eat it too! You did good for standing up and cutting off communication. Guys like the chase- its an animal instinct thing. Well, so do women. Anyway, hopefully he will be right this time around. But beware- if he does it again, its just his nature and no matter how many times you "teach him a lesson"- he will go back to his ways because its just his way.

    In my opinion, I think what you did was acceptable. He shouldn't act like that, you know, all lovey, then blow you off the next day! I would still be friends, just not get so close this time. My sister has a portrait in her room that says, "No boy is worth crying over, and the one who is won't make you cry." Hope I helped,and good luck! Hope it all turns out ok!

    He used you. It's sad your first was a jerk. Don't find yourself giving it up to him everytime he's in the mood. This guy needs to commit to you or you need to let him go. He is not a friend. He does not have your best interest at heart. He wants to play the field so to speak, and you deserve better.

    You did not over-react at all. If I was in your situation, I would've done the same thing. Be friends with him and tell him how you felt and how it hurt.Maybe he'll understand how you felt that time and know that you were hurt because of his stupidity

    You are both too immature for a relationship.
