Dear "In a Mess",

Well, to me it sounds like you can do a lot better than this guy! You're young! Go out and have some fun!!

And how many times have you heard that from people that you ask what you should do? Probably a million and one. I speak from experience when I answer this question. My last boyfriend was 7 years my senior. I met him when I was 18 and he was 25. Here's what I believe:

You Don't Trust Him

First, I am not feeling that there is a lot of trust in this relationship. If there was would you be checking his phone? And why would he respond to your questions by telling you that he has slept with these girls??? I know I wouldn't want to hear that!

Flirting at Work

The girls at work flirt with him because they don't know she's his girlfriend. She should tell them..

Some other things that bother me (and I also speak from experience on these notes) is that you say you are working with him and you catch him flirting with other girls there. That is a very tricky situation. I know I would catch my ex flirting with other girls at work (we worked together...different guy from the other ex) and there was hell to be had!! So I know how frustrating that can be.

Here's the bright side. You are heading off to college where there's a whole new world of guys that don't know you (ahh the air of mystery) and would like to get to know you.

He's Looking for Young Girls

I believe you are wasting your time with this loser. It sounds like he is just looking for the next pretty young girl (why are they all young? You say that he flirts with girls that are younger than you! Doesn't that BOTHER you???)

I say cut your losses and your ties with him. It might be tricky because you do work with him, but do you really want to waste these 3 months on this loser? I know I wouldn't.
