Can you believe this?

i think he was/is keeping you as a backup plan. avoid guys like this, he's already shown 1-that he's not THAT interested in you and 2-he keeps secrets and compartmentalizes his life real real well. big big warning flags

Yeah, I'd not let him be anything more than a casual friend. Plus, he's only 18, and not a very mature 18 - he likely doesn't even know himself what he wants from the sound of it. An engagement is not something to undertake - and then break - lightly. He needs to get his own head on straight first, and you don;t need to be anyone's "rebound" relationship.

You deserve better, and I am glad you know that. We are proud of you, kiddo.

hmmmm..... depends on what the Jeep looks like

Not being cruel by saying this, but it seems he wants to keep you around for a backup until he latches on to someone else. Don't settle for this. There are plenty of genuinely sincere guys out there, and you'll find one when the time is right. Stay clear of this one, as it appears that he is far from sincere. The only person he's thinking of, is himself.

My advice is to kick him to the kerb honey and don't look back.

A tiger doesn't change his stripes. I know you like him, he's been attentive, but IMO, keep him as only a friend. I can't believe I'd ever be saying this, having once been your age, a gazillion years ago...but looking back, I realized what I didn't really know about people (mainly guys) at the time. You have your whole life ahead of you. You'll meet so many guys, I'm sure. And get your heart broken too. But that's how it is. A good learning experience. You'll know when the right guy shows up. Chin up kiddo!

Some guys never change. I dated this guy once, years ago. We moved on with our lives, and probably hadn't had any contact with each other for 4 years or so?? Anyhow, I saw him at the gym and we chatted...how are you, how is work, family, what's new...and then went our separate ways after a 10minute long, pleasant chat. I found out about a week later that he had gotten married that weekend after we spoke! And, never mentioned a single word of it! Wasn't that kind of new and exciting? Never said a word to me about it. LOL...he has since divorced, and rumor has it the girl was "just crazy". Nah...HE is the crazy one, always was and apparently, always will be!
