CRUSHES

Advice

Why is my ex being such a jerk?


This guy and I were going out, and a week later he dumped me. Now, he's being a big jerk to me! What does this mean?


His Answer: “Guys can easily change their mind because of their friends' opinions,” says Bennett, 14. “Or, he just didn't want to be in a relationship and doesn't want you to think you two could get back together.”

Decoded: Even though you may not think it, guys care about what other people think – especially when it comes to their friends' opinions about the girls they like. If he's not that easily swayed by his friends, it's very likely he just didn't want to commit and thought being a jerk would help you move on faster.


Your Move: Yes, it was a total jerk move and you have a right to be upset, but don’t let it keep you down. If he dumps you without a second thought, and hurts your feelings just to push you away, then take his hint and find a guy who doesn't think being cruel is kind.
