Dear Mercury,
My boyfriend broke up with me over Christmas vacation and went out with another girl on New Year's Eve.  Now he says he's sorry and wants me back.  What should I do?

Dear Lonely & Confused,
Well, the best thing I can say is to explain to you that that's not the best thing for you right now.  Obviously you're cautious with the situation & you're trying to prevent yourself from getting hurt, which is good.  Just let him know that you aren't ready for that right now, you need time to think about what you really want!  Then you can get time to collect your thoughts.

Dear Lonely & Confused,
Forget him, it's time to move on, as they say, there are plenty of other fish in the sea.

Dear Lonely & Confused,
Shake it off and say, “I'll think about it.”  Let him understand you're not something he can just come back to every time he messes up. The only reason he's probably coming back is because he noticed a good thing once it was gone and he wants a secon

d chance. Some things happen for a reason.  Maybe his breaking up with you was a sign he wasn't the right guy.  He's nothing to cry over, either, because every second you spend crying is a second you waste from living your life.  We are too young to fall in love and we are also too young to let a guy come into our lives and break our hearts.

Dear Lonely & Confused,
I know it may have been hard when he broke up with you, and hurt even more when he went out with a different girl that quickly. Obviously, when he broke up with you he wasn't thinking about your feelings and definitely wasn't thinking about them when he dated someone else. I think you should let him go and show him that he made a huge mistake. There's someone out there for you that can treat you way better then that.
