Dear Miss Emily:
I dated a boy for a only a few days, but we both seemed to be really into it. He met my parents after a few days and he came with us everywhere, then he just stopped talking to me cause he felt weird. So i was angry n stopped talking to him too. After a few weeks, he comes back into contact with me and wants to speak again and says he's sorry. Then tells me he wants me back. So me, still sort of liking him, wants to give him a second chance... so we were meant to see each other on a particular day, but he decides to turn up at my house at 3 in the morning to see me. And me, being silly, i go out to see him and get caught by my parents. That led me to getting grounded n my phone being taken away. I told the guy n he stopped talking to me again cause i told him we couldn't talk for a while, bu he could still have texted me asking if i was ok. Now he wants to talk, again, after 2 weeks! I don't know if i should or not. I still have feeling for him, bu he just seems too immature for me, n doesn't know what he wants. We are both 17 by the way.

Yes, I totally agree with you. He's immature, wildly unpredictable and, I suspect emotionally troubled at this time in his life. To show up at your house, at 3 in the morning, is another sign of his erratic behavior -- beside the fact that it's selfish,and disrespectful to the inhabitants. You're in one day, out the next. That, alone, is cause for concern. I think if you proceed with this relationship, you'd be writing to me in a few weeks and telling me how much you regret it. Life is hard enough with out inviting the kind of drama he offers. Take a pass, for your sake. I feel for him, in a way, but feeling sorry for someone who is confused is not a reason to see him in a boyfriend/girlfriend capacity. Sympathy cannot be the motivator in this matter.
