My daughter has liked this guy since she was 4 years old. He moved shortly after they met. They didn't see each other for 8 years. Now he is back and in my daughter's life again. She has a huge crush (I would call it love but I don't think she knows what love is) on him. Well about 2 months ago he asked her to go steady. She said yes. Anyway, on August 13, 2005 I through her a Birthday Party at the local pool. Of course he was there. He got down on one knee with a promise ring in his hand and asked her "Can I trust you with my heart?" She said yes and put on the ring. Anyway, two weeks later he breaks it off with her. Tells her this story about his sister telling his Mom that he had asked her to marry him and they were now engaged. Well his Mom calls his Grandma, who he lives with, and tells her that he is engaged. Now not only is Mom fussing about it now his Grandma is too. So he tries to explain that they are not engaged, but noone listens. So he breaks it off with my daughter. My daughter has cried about it for about a week now. I am so pissed off at him and I liked him. But my gut tells me that he didn't tell her the truth. I hate lies. I have tried to tell my daughter that I think he lied to her and that she should talk to him and get to the reason he actually broke it off. How do I make my daughter see? She is so trusting that I know that she is going to get her heart broke quite a few times in her life. Now how do I get her to see that I may not be right, but he should have a better reason than her gave her. School just started back and I believe he wanted to be single for school. Also, he just started his first job and I think that maybe there is someone at work he wants to date. I could be wrong and I was raised to give the benefit of the doubt, but this just keeps nagging at me.
