Anyway, I dated my ex girlfriend for about 4 months. She is 15 years old, and I'm 17. We met each other threw a mutual friend, and at first we just started talking, and became friends. Two months went by, and we came became really close. She dumped her boyfriend because their relationship was failing because he was from another town, and they didn't really love each other, and didn't even see each other often. Anyway she dumped him, and got together with me.

Even before we started dating I told her that I'm more for serious relationships, and she liked that. She said that she would like to be with me and all, but she did say that she is not sure of how serious of a relationship she wanted.

So we were together for 4 months, and it was like in heaven, we talked to each other everyday, and saw one another once, or twice a week, or even more depending on time. I'm a very caring guy, I did lots of stuff with her and bought her many stuff for special days, and made stuff for her, and took my time to prepare them. We never had any arguments, or issues. The only problem was that I was mostly paying attention to her, because I really cared for her, and she is more the independent type, who does lots of stuff, but it didn't really bother her, because she liked the attention.

Anyway, everything was going great until she went for a week on vacation, and we talked each day a little, and I told her I miss her, and everything, and she was always hanging out with some new friends there, and didn't really talk to me much. Any who she got into an argument with her grandfather, who was on vacation with her, because she was never with him, and only those friends. Anyway she was really in a bad mood for 2 day and I tried to help her, but it backfired, and she got angry at me, and she said we need to meet the next day. (she had the argument the last day on vacation).

She told me that she needs a break, and that its nothing with me, and that she still cares for me a lot, but she is not ready for a serious relationship, and wants to be single for now, and free to flirt with other guys, and possibly even be with them. Basically she wants to see what else is out there in other words, but she also said that when she will be ready for a serious relationship that we will probably be together again.

I told her that I'm OK with that, and that I respect her decision and all, but I was also sad, and a bit confused, because I didn't know what I did wrong. She also said that we can still chat, and everything, but she doesn't want a relationship just now. Anyhow its been a month since the break, and the first 2 weeks she kept calling me everyday, and I was talking to her nicely, and I said my feeling didn't change, and she said she knows, and we talked almost normally, except that I was more in a sad mood, because I didn't really know what to do.

Then she went on vacation again for a week, and I decided to not bother her so I told her to enjoy her vacation, and she didn't reply. She got back a week later, and I asked her how she is, and all, and she said that nice of you to talk to Roky (a mutual friend), and I didn't know what she meant, because I didn't talk to him. Turns out he talked to her a few minutes before me, and since me, and him are good friend, she thought he talked to me, and then I rushed to talk to her.

I told her that's not true, and then she said that she doesn't really care and then we talked normally, but she still had a bit of a angry tone. Anyway, I let her be, and the next day she was outside with friends, and Roky, and she told him what she wrote to me (Roky is a good friend of hers, and mine) and he was all shocked, because we didn't talk, and he told her that, then she just changed the conversation, and didn't talk about it.

He also told me she said that when she will be ready for a serious relationship, we will probably be together, but for now she wants to date other guys. Later that day she called me, and asked me if I had time to talk, so we talked, and she acted normal, and was quite nice to me. Then she said that she has to go do something, and that she will call later.

She never called, and the next day she went again on another vacation for 10 days. During the vacation I messaged her once how she is doing, and if she can SMS, and we wrote 2 SMS-s to each other, and then she never replied to the last one. A week went by, and we didn't talk. Then she got back, and I sent an SMS if she is home, and has time to talk, and she texted me back in like 3 minutes, and told me yes, and if I can call her in 10 minutes, and a kissing smiley. So I called her, and she was all happy, and full of energy, and was talking to me, and she had her best friend with her and all.

So we talked for a few minutes, and then she told me that she doesn't want to be mean, but can I call her tomorrow, 10 in the morning, and I said sure no problem. The next day I called her, and we talked, but she acted really mean, like she doesn't care, and that she has other stuff to do, so we talked only for 5 minutes. (this was today)

Oh, and don't know if this means anything but she said that her feeling for me haven't changed, and she still said she loved me the first 2 weeks...

Can any one tell me what I should do?

Stop hanging around, you are in the friend zone, almost like a girl friend. You are way to available to someone that may never be ready for a serious relationship, and its seems like you are staying to close in case she is going to change her mind.

Naw guy, she will never miss your company, or conversation while you are always an option when she has time. You really do need a normal life without her in it. That's what you should be doing, enjoying the life of a 17 year old, without the young 15 year old.

A 15 year olds love just ain't the same as a more mature female, and subject to great changes according to what's going on in her life. Get your own, and stop depending on her to give you some attention. She might not even be aware she is stringing you along, and keeping you stuck. She is only 15 for crying out loud, and doesn't have a clue, other than what passes in front of her.

You are 17, and should know better than clinging to a kid that dumped you already.

You kind of answered your own question here.
You said that while you're a doting kind of person, she's more independent, but while you were together she liked being doted on because she liked the attention.
I hate to break it to you, but while she was on holiday, she was probably getting attention from other guys too, therefore when you tried to talk to her, she would have seen it as an annoying distraction from the positive attention she was getting from the guys on holiday.

I don't think what you have done is wrong, I think that she is wrong, and I think that by saying you're OK with her terms of the break, she is now using you as and when she needs and wants attention, but as soon as it gets too serious again she remembers that she didn't like it and breaks it off.

However much you like this girl, is it really worth being treated this way? You need to end this on your terms. Tell her you're not happy with the way she's treating you and unless she's ready for the same things you are, then you can't be with her.

There are plenty of other girls out there, and you're both still so young. Don't stress over this too much; over time you'll feel better and you will, eventually, get over this girl, I promise.

Good luck with everything, I know it will all work out for you.
