I am turning 18 this year! Last summer, I met a guy at the beach and traded phone numbers with him.We didn't talk for a while because I was in a relationship back in my home-state, and it was ending anyways. I recently started talking to him, again, and we completely fell in love. We have told each others life stories and know absolutely everything about each other. I am going into my senior year of high school and he just started him freshman year of college. I knew what I was doing when I got into a relationship with him, but as the months went on, I felt as if the lies kept coming. Some things just didn't make sense. A week ago, I found out he got a Facebook and failed to add me (he knew I had one). After reading some things, I found some extremely flirty messages between him and other girls; though this wasn't the first time. Without thinking, I ended things. Did I overreact? I truly believe that God put him in my life for a reason. And I don't know what I should do.

------------------------------Miss Emily's advice---------------------

When you say the lies kept on coming, it tells me he had a pattern with his behavior that was duplicitous. I think it's possible, because he's going to college and you are in your last year of high school, he thought leading a double life was the best of both worlds. You don't seem like the type of girl who thinks it's okay to be part of his romantic life, but not all of it. He may be flirting with these girls and not doing anything more than that, but there are a few infractions. Not adding you on Facebook seems odd. You'd think his girl would be at the top of his list. Maybe you should tell him you make better friends, right now. I don't see why -- if he were to come around and see that his behavior is not acceptable since he led you to believe he fell "completely in love" with you -- you can't revisit this relationship. But, right now, I think you did the right thing. If you don't have trust, you don't have anything worth keeping. I suppose if you think God put him in your life for a reason, perhaps you could see this as a warning sign on what to look for in a good relationship -- and using this gentleman as one to avoid if he's not willing to openly be your boyfriend, and tone-down his need to flirt.
