Teen Boy Speaks With Forked Tongue!

Miss Emily,
About 2 weeks ago, I found out that my boyfriend liked my best friend. We talked about it, and he said it would never happen, again. About 1 week before that, he asked me out, then asked me to a school dance the following Friday. I found out the first day we got back to school, from Christmas break, he asked my other best friend to the dance! She knew that we were dating before then, so she asked him if we were still dating. He told her we had broken up, but we never did! Then her other friend asked the same question, and he said we were still dating. I asked him if he wanted us to break up because he was telling everyone we broke up, and he said that we might as well because people are saying so. Then he asked the girl he asked to the dance out, and she said YES!!! I found out at the dance ( which was two days after we broke up ) that they kissed, and dirty danced! I was so shocked, I didn't speak to either of them for a week. Later that week, he told my OTHER best friend that he still loved me. It's been about 4 weeks since we broke up. I'm so confused. He was my best friend before we dated, and he is still my best friend. He isn't like other boys who just want...you no... and he tells me the truth when i need it. So I dont know anymore. Have I made the right choise of picking friends and love? Please help me! :(

This age, in particular, is like playing musical chairs. Sometimes you get a seat when the music stops, sometimes you don't. And in this case, the seat seems to be the lap of a fickle teen boy. The truth is, however, that he lied, and he's all over the map on what he says he wants. Yes, he's honest when he wants to be, but he wasn't honest about you and him dating -- you are, you aren't -- and then the big whammy -- "Sure we might as well break-up because people are saying so." Yeah, HIM. He's the people! They were only going by what he said. What planet does this kid live on: The planet of "Yes-means-no." He should always be telling you the truth, and not only when you need it. He's wishy-washy, and seems to want it all -- you, her, oh, her, no you, her. My head spun just writing it. I think you should end the dating, and tell him this: "Now we are back to being friends only. You are a free man, my friend. And let me know how things are workin' for ya." If you stop seeing him in a boyfriend capacity, this gives him what he seems to want -- but may be the last to know. If you were to get back with him, I think you'd be in for the same.
