Well I have been going out with this guy for about a month now. Well I was a a party and I wanted to go over to my old b/f's house which is a really great friend too and say hello. :P Well when I went over there I realized that he had moved. And it crushed me soo much. But I dont know why. Maybe it was cause I never got to say goodbye or I still had a thing for him. And that sux to even say that. Cause I am happy with my b/f I have now. I wanna know so bad where he went cause I would still like to keep intouch with him. But what I wanna know is that is it bad to think that I may still have a thing for him?
JadedinNowhere answered Wednesday January 19 2005, 12:01 am: No, that's not bad at all. It's natural to have a bit of after feelings especially if it was long and lasting relationship. I think that maybe you'll have to move on though, because he obviously has, sorry if that sounds a bit harsh. I think you should start thinking more about the relationship you are in now and start to let go of the past, afterall, it is 'the past'.. look to the future. Tell me how it all goes later, or if you need any more advice. :)
Allie1 answered Tuesday January 18 2005, 4:21 pm: You definitely still have a thing for him. 100%. And no, there's nothing wrong with that. But if he didn't even tell you that he had moved and where he had moved , he probably doesn't feel the same way. And I would think that a good friend would inform you that he is moving and would give you all of his new information so that you could continue to keep in touch with him.
Then there is the new boyfriend. Was he just a transitional boyfriend? I can't help but believe that if you truly love him then this whole thing wouldn't bother you so much. [ Allie1's advice column | Ask Allie1 A Question ]

BeautifulMadness answered Tuesday January 18 2005, 2:15 pm: Hi!
Right now I reckon you're probably actually feeling the loss of a friend - after all, you said he was a really great friend even though you two have a 'past'. But because he is an ex, you're probably feeling like you HAVE to feel like you still have a thing for him, because that's how you think should feel. Does that make sense? It may also be that now you have no chance of getting back with him, you feel like you like him again because you can't have him (I gave this example to someone else a couple of days ago - it's like the forbidden fruit in the garden of eden - if you can't have it, you want it).
Either way, whether you miss the friend or the boyfriend, it's totally normal to still like ex's. Keep an eye out for him, ask some people where he's gone, and if you don't find out, remember that it probably wasn't meant to be and it's better to focus on the here and now than the then :)
Blessed Be,
