Should you still hang out with your ex?

Is it OK to hang out and text with your ex BF?
 
Hey girl! There’s a lot that goes into a BF/GF relationship, and it isn’t always easy to throw that away. If you’re dating, you’re not only spending hours together hanging out, but you also respect, trust and support each other. Now aren’t those the same qualities you look for in a friend?
 
There is a reason that after a breakup the first words that are spoken are often, “I hope we can still be friends.” It isn’t a cliché—they’re usually said because they’re true. That is, unless your ex is just trying to let you down easy and he wants to spare your feelings. But if it was a healthy and happy relationship, there is no reason why you can’t split on friendly terms.
 
Still, hanging with your ex can create quite a few sticky sitches. What if you start to crush on him again? He can’t get over you? Or if your new beau doesn’t like you hanging with him? The answer: Keep the relationship light and easy, and always give him some space for a few weeks after the breakup. Always keep in mind your feelings and the feelings of those around you. There’s no sense in hurting anybody just because you’ve kept in contact with your ex.

MOD MOD MOD!!!
SO Valentine's Day is coming up! But this guy in my class likes me, and apparently wants to ask me out! He never talks to me because he is too shy, and I don't really want to go out with him. How do I let him down nicely? All my friends just tell me to say: "I don't want a boyfriend right now", but the truth is, I wouldn't mind if my crush asked me out (; and I don't want to lie to him.




Hey girlie! Sounds like you're in a dilemma. Honestly, the most straightforward and honest approach is usually best. If he does approach you, just let him know that you like him as a friend, but that you're not really interested in anything more. Good luck!

Proceed with Caution!
I would be careful hanging out with your ex especially if you were in a serious relationship with him. And dont even think about it if you were intimate with him because the temptations are too great, unless you really really dislike him and then why would you even want to hang out with him. I learned this from a close friends who has cheated on her new bf with her ex more than once and she claims she cant help herself. So I would be careful.

So I like this guy, but he likes someone else. I asked my BGF to ask my crush who he liked, and we both thought it was gonna be me. But instead, he likes this girl who loves it when guys give her attention and is slowly becoming a snob. She's nice at times, but I just don't think that they were for each other. Apparently, I'm also not really suppose to know who my crush likes. And he also told my BGF that he hates it when I text him too much. Um... HELP?!?!?!?!

Hey girlie,

If he likes someone else, maybe you should do the same. I know it might be hard at first, but there are a lot of other guys who would love to spend time with you, so try getting to know someone you might not usually think of! And if he says you text him too much, maybe let him text you first next time.
