Is it meant to be after 5 years??

Ok, here is my situation
I met this guy named John when I was a freshmen and we dated after 2 years of knowing each other and when we broke up it was really hard for me because I fell in love with him... he was my first love... and I've never been able to forget him... We have been talking and he told me that he still loves me and that he cant forget me... but he has said that to me before and it lead to nothing.. he says that things are different now... and that he wants to be with me because he knows that I will make him a different person... he knows that I will be good for him... i dont know what to do...
I love him but is he really worth it??
Or should I just forget him?!
Any suggestions would help! Thanks!!

He is expecting you to make him into this different person, but the only way he is going to change is if he wants to, it won't just be accomplished because the 2 of you decide to give it another go. Do what you know in your HEAD is best for you.

I pretty much agree with most of what you guys are saying.

He is using you to find himself. You don't not want to get messed up in those kind of guys. That means that he is not ready to have a solid relationship with you. He sounds like he is leading you on.

Now, these girls ^ are telling you to stick around and see what happens. I disagree. Find someone else before he severely breaks you. He is one of those guys who, like I said, isn't ready for someone yet if he is going to keep switching off and on on you.

I didn't say to stick around, I said think with her head and not her heart.

I'm in that situation and resently gettin advice for it too. as someone said to me you'l never forget him, but i'd have to say that for the best would be to let him go. friends was too hard for me so not sayin it would be easy if you wanted to hang out with him still. just tell him how u feel, like saying 'this is hurting me, i need to know what YOU want, just don't play with my heart'. up to you how u put it to him but he need to know how u are really feeling inside ok. :) love you darl i hope i helped and yer GOODLUCK. ;)

I stand corrected. Sorry Beautiful Chaos, I wasen't referring to you.

Thanks for everyones opinions/suggestions...
He just really confuses me, but I think that it is time to let him go... as love but not as a friend..
