You know what, clixpix? You've hit the nail on the head with three words: Pretend Boyfriend Syndrome. I'm sorry you've had to live it to coin the phrase. But boy, what a hit title for a relationship book. If you're a writer, write the book!Originally Posted by clixpix
...You are in the midst of what I call the "Pretend Boyfriend Syndrome". He seems like your boyfriend. You want him to be your boyfriend. In public, people think he's your boyfriend. But if he's not willing to be your boyfriend...well...then he's not your boyfriend.
...Honestly, I'm currently backing off from my Pretend Boyfriend. We've been Pretend Dating for 11 months.
Good luck!
