I've liked this guy, who is 4 years older than I am, for 3.5 years now. The first two years, he was dating someone who ended up cheating on him last May. I was there for him, and we became really good friends. I thought things were going really well between us and there was a chance he was interested in me. It's hard to tell because he is in college about 2.5 hours away and only comes home once a month or so. Last time he was home, we got ice cream and talked for about an hour and a half. It meant so much to me... But a few weeks after that, just last week, he got a new girlfriend. I was heartbroken. I didn't even want to talk to him. Now last night, he confessed to me that he is bi-sexual, and doesn't understand why he is in the relationship he's in. He said that he doesn't have strong feelings for her but was hanging out with her a lot and thought it was the right thing to do. I obviously still like him, but I don't know what to think anymore. Suggestion?

Yes, now you can safely get him out of your mind knowing that because he's bi-sexual, he is, or has had relationships with men -- and they will continue. They are powerful relationships, on many levels, and to think you could ever compete would be a lesson in futility. He would never, ever be totally yours even if you could have him as a boyfriend. The way I see it, he gave you the gift of freedom. To not see it, would be at your peril.
