My ex won't be friends with me


 

Check these out, too...

  • When's the right time to spill your feelings?
My ex-boyfriend won't be just friends with me because I broke up with him. He keeps telling me that he breaks up with every other girl he dates because he doesn’t love them as much as he loves me. I told him that I broke up with him because he was flirting and hugging other girls in front of me, but he keeps begging for another chance. I would rather just be friends, but do you think I’m doing the right thing?

 

It’s nice when you can remain friends with an ex, but it’s certainly not a given. Your old flame has a right to draw a line, and if you refuse to be his GF again, he can most definitely withhold his friendship. Those are the breaks, babe, and while they can stink, there’s not a whole lot you can do aside from giving him some space.

 

On to your question: Did you do the right thing… I wish I could give you an absolute “Yes!” or “No!” but the only person who can definitively say whether you made the correct choice is Y-O-U. If his flirting with other girls made you uncomfortable and insecure in your relationship, then perhaps breaking it off was the best choice, especially if your broached the issue and he wouldn’t alter his ways.

 

Still having doubts? Take a walk down memory lane before you do anything rash, like agreeing to date your dude again.  Think about why it was that you broke up. Was it for a reason that seems silly now? Or was it just not meant to be? Think long and hard, sweetie, and good luck!

MOD MOD! What did u mean just chat on normally? I asked you why he sent that to me and what I should say. Can you help?

Hey girly,
There could be many different reasons why he could have sent that to you and there really is no way to figure it out from him. If you ask, then he will either lie and say nothing, or he could get the wrong idea. What I'm saying is be normal and act like this email isn't a big deal. Ask him why he doesn't like the girl or say that's too bad. If he is trying to get your attention in some way, he will be impressed that you are so cool and mature.

MOD! MOD! The same boy just e-mailed me telling me there is a girl at his dad's office who likes him a lot and that he does not like her. I do not know why he told me this. What should I respond and why did he send me that? Please help!

Hey girly,
Just chat on normally. Asking him flat out like that could cause problems. Good Luck!

MOD! MOD! Thank you for the advice! He just asked me who I like. I said " Why do you want to know?" He hasn't replied yet. Should I have said that? Please help!

 

 

No prob, girl. That's what we're here for! Usually guys only ask a girl that question if they might be interested in her. You already said it so there is no taking it back, but don't sweat it. If he replies just tell him that you don't have your eye on anyone in particular right now (this is probably the safest bet even if you do like someone else). If you answer the question with out any implication that you might like him he should back off.
