The Nightmare Before Life

Well, more tangled shit of guy-ness, dammit, has been thrown at me. I'll copy out an MSN message from 5 minutes ago of me explaining la predicament (I am changing names to make me feel safe):

all.for.frankie:
Need to talk to BassBoy
Lucius Durden:
why
all.for.frankie:
Cos I'm confused
Lucius Durden:
about
all.for.frankie:
Us
I told him I liked him, dammit, but I'm not sure what he thought of it
Lucius Durden:
huh, yea
that sucks a bit
the waiting, i mean
all.for.frankie:
Mm
But I feel like a real bitch
For quite a few reasons
So I don't know if I should
Lucius Durden:
why
all.for.frankie:
Well, one, I broke up with him over the phone. And I told myself I shouldn't regret it and I wouldn't go back to him. Then I kept thinking about him and said 'If I'm still thinking bout him after the hols, I'll tell him'. Which I did
And he said he kinda likes me when I pressed for an answer after he didn't really answer, but that could mean he doesn't hate me, not that he LIKES me
And I really, really, really like PoliticBoy. Like, very majorly. But he's really serious, and I'd like a fun relationship, like it was with BassBoy when we were actually together. And PoliticBoy's in CityLand
But how bitchy would that be "I like you BassBoy, I'd like to get back together, but I love this other guy and I'm not going out with him cos he's so far away and I don't want anything REALLY serious right now, I'll just see how it goes'?
And ALSO, I dunno if I like BassBoy, just miss the security of a boyfriend and someone who loves me, or want to get over PoliticBoy, or just liked BEING with BassBoy and stuff
So yeah...explaining all that?
Truly, I am fucked

And I got advice:

Lucius Durden:
well then
my way would be to not tell him the whole truth
say you want to get together, and make sure he knows that its nothing too serious
but dont bring up PoliticBoy
cause thatd get ugly

But what do I do, if we do get together, and I still love PoliticBoy? Cos I know I will, definitely. He knows me so well. But he's so far away and so serious about it, and he KNOWS this, wants to be less serious and not try a long-distance relationship.

Help! (Ah, the cliche cry)
