Already

Both sound like pretty good reasons. Does it matter why? The only way of knowing a bit better is to ask him, but he could always lie. I doubt you'd ever know for sure, and as that is the case, you might want to just start moving on without him.

Sorry to hear that. But my opinion is that, he is not relationship material. I think he may of just been looking for a good time, or something for people to talk about. Just my opinion.

I think that both sound about right.

A lot of people...both male and female...will use that excuse when they want to get out of a relationship and "not hurt" anyone. Sometimes it's also just when they want to be with someone else.

I got the same thing once...just to find out that he always wanted to date someone...and tell me all about it...I wanted to kill him...but it helped me move on from him...because I started to see his true colors and I didn't like it.

If I was you...I wouldn't bother with him anymore. He doesn't seem worth it.

he doesn't "need time" and he doesn't love you he just wants to get some from her and then go back to you

Who cares what the reason is, move on. He's obviously isn't worth it if he left you in the first place. He doesn't love you, he probably says he loves every other girl he's with. My ex was the exact same way, only he went out with someone a day after he left me. There are other guys out there, just forget him. You can do so much better.

I like how many rational people we have in the love forum.

He could've found the girl off the rebound. Or he said he "needed time" becuase he wasn't telling you the real reason or something like that. If he is still telling you he loves you even though he broke up with you and is dating another girl, then he really isn't worth your time.

I think it's a good idea, people can always use more friends. As long as you're both comfortable with being just friends, and it isn't too akward for you.
