My boyfriend and I broke up about 5 weeks ago and i had BIG problems getting over him because we really really loved eachother and then he broke it off saying "I'm not ready to b attached to someone right not" after 4 months. I'm not even sure if I'm totally over him now, but there's this guy who I've known since kindergarden who I think i like, but not just as a rebound thing. The thing is that he has a girlfriend, but she's moving to chicago this summer so they're gonna break it off. What should I do: go on liking him because he's an amazign guy and its REALLY helping me take the sting out of the old boyfriend...or just 4get about it. and if i should still like him, shoudl i tell him or do anything?
HyperactiveMiss answered Friday June 17 2005, 8:46 pm: It's okay to move on. But this new guy has a girlfriend. You have to think of her perspective. She's just like you...she lost a boyfriend she really loved. I don't think she'd feel comfortable having you date her boyfriend right away, do you? So after they break up, give it some time to sink in. Then you can tell him you have some strong feelings for him. If he feels the same, you guys are on the right track and you can go out. If he doesn't, it's okay...at least you guys are still great friends. Dating is about experiencing new things, bonding with someone, and finding what you need and want. If something doesn't work out, you let it sink in and move on to live life. Good luck! [ HyperactiveMiss's advice column | Ask HyperactiveMiss A Question ]
