I love this boy but I don't want to see him.

Hey Nitin,

I'm going out with a guy who is 16 turning 17. I just turned 14. Mum and Dad have met him and they like him a lot! He's really a great person, but I am not really great in relationships or at making a commitment! I always try to make up excuses why I can't go out with him or why I can't phone him!
We've been going out for a month and a half, and we have been to the movies only once. We've had other chances to do things, but I always make up these lame excuses -- like stuff about basketball trainings and things. Mum knows what's going on and she keeps pushing me to go on seeing him, but I don't want to and it just gets on my nerves!

I do love him so much but I dunno... there is just something there that's stopping me from wanting to go out with him! I've never been in a serious relationship before -- maybe that's the problem! For my birthday he gave me this really nice necklace and now I feel like I've got a contract to stay with him! I dunno. I love this boy, but I just don't want to see him... Is that weird?

Cautious In Love
