I am 18/f...and i have been really confused lately about my ex boyfriend (which is still my best friend). We were best friends for 5 years before we started dating..and we were on and off for about a year and a half. He was my first serious relationship. I am very much in love with him but we had to break up because he moved 2 hours away for college. We both still have feelings for each other and we agreed that when we are located closer together again we will probably get back together. My problem is that he is looking to date other people, and he thinks i should do the same, but i just cant get him out of the picture and i dont want him out of the picture. He is the only person i really want to be with. How am i supposed to handle this? I cant like other people when i am still in love with him, and i know i am just going to be extremely jealous when he starts dating if i dont have any one. Does anyone have suggestions on what i should do to move on or meet new people or whatever! I just need help.

Just remember that distance doesn't make a difference. What makes a difference is love. That is what makes a huge impact in life. LOVE.

You went about your daily life and your paths crossed. Well,you're gunna meet another guy the very same way. If he starts dating someone else,don't worry about it. It's not a personal slap in the face to you. You only THINK you love this guy. He thinks you should date other people and I do too. You shouldn't tie yourself down to this guy who lives two hours away. You owe yourself a little more than that. Just go on with yoir life and if it works out that you two can start dating again,go for it. Until then,don't say no to another nice guy just because of your old high school boyfriend.

Thanx for your Question give em your feedback later

CheerMMS24 answered Saturday July 31 2004, 3:52 pm: He still has feelings for you, so its going to be just as hard for him to move on, maybe he felt that was the only way he could get over you. You should try and hang out at different places to meet new people. It will just take time to move on from him, so just wait it out!... I hope I helped!! :) good luck

Harrox answered Saturday July 31 2004, 3:25 pm: Dating other people doesn't mean you're moving on. Judging from your description, I think I can safely assume you're in real love. While on your "break" keep youself busy, whether it be though dating or a hobby. It's not healthy to sit and just put all your energy in missing someone. And when you do, maybe write him a letter, or call. [ Harrox's advice column | Ask Harrox A Question ]
