13/f
Ok, I have just gotten out of a 1 year relationship with someone. [We'll call him Jay.] We are still best friends and all, but that isnt my problem. You see, I like this other guy now, and I think he likes me. But when I say I like someone else, Jay goes all sad on me and says stuff like, "I know you hate me and I understand that you want to be with another guy" Which isn't totally true. Because I still want to be Jay's friend. How do I tell him to back off without being mean?
I think you should explain to him how great of a guy he really is. Tell him that being with him for a year has taught you a lot of things about a relationship and he will always be in your heart; you'll always be there for him when he needs you or wants to talk. Explain to him that you guys are only 13 and you need to meet new people, both of you guys. He may think that you're the one, but he hasn't been with enough girls to know that yet. Tell him that his soul mate is out there, he just has to get up and look for her. You weren't it, but you'd love to still be friends with him. Explain that you love him, but it's just not the same type of love it was when you guys were together. Everything happens for a reason, so I'm sure something good will come out of this break up. He just needs some time. Time heals everything. He'll be okay with everything in time, I'm sure. ♥
(Rating: 5) Thankyou so much. This is the best advice yet.
