What does it mean when your boyfriend tells you he really wants to be with you but he can't?

Answer 1

(All advice is generic and incomplete of necessity. Apply as fits, and use your own brains.)

it depends...if your bf is a jerk then it's a lame excuse for not wanting to be you...no other reasons..

if your bf is really serious with you then it means there are some issues that he's been dealing with...sometimes it's so hard to explain why do we have to leave someone or why can't we be with someone who we really wanted to be...but no matter how long it takes to wait, love still waits...maybe if your guy told you that he really wants to be you but he can't maybe he really can't be with you but I'm not sayin forever maybe he can't be with you right now but someday...one day you'll be together...that's true love..

love can waits no matter what or whatever it takes...

AnswerToo little info to give a proper answer.

How much of a boyfriend is/was he?

What do you/he mean by "be with you"?

He can't go further

(possible reasons: religion, fear of commitment, serious personal problems you don't know about,...)

or he can't be your boyfriend anymore? (He's dumping you but doesn't want to admit it.)

If he's your boyfriend, he IS with you.

Now that I think about it: He'd have told you why he can't go further, so he left you but is afraid you'll be angry or lets you hang on just in case he needs you again.

AnswerIm a guy and i would say that if i really did not like that girl and dint want to hurt her feeling even though it is messed up to make her think you like her AnswerHe has problems with relationships. You may not be the one for him. You might have to settle for being friends. AnswerI would ask him why and what he means by that and then go from there.

Agreed. May I add: You do need to know why, since that will tell you if it's a "priority" thing.

He could also be trying to politely avoid you.

AnswerTalk about it. Every relationship needs honesty. If he can't tell you, then put an end to it. I know it's easier said than done, but in the long term it's the best thing to do. Answermy ex boyfriend finished me, then for the pst year used to tell me he wants to be with me but he cant, i mean how messed up is that 1 year later i still could not put an answer to that question as im still looking for it myself, all i can say is it don't make any sense. you you really like/love want to be with a person that bad you WILL go out of your way to be with them, that's how its been for me anyhow. only a mixed up person acts like like or someone with serious problems in the head! just put it down to too much fluid on the brain haha!
