Question Posted Saturday September 24 2005, 11:47 am
I just moved from New Jersey to New Mexico.
I met a really cool kid named Matthew here, and I think that we are close to dating, because we really like each other. The problem is should I tell my ex boyfriend [we're SO close, and we've been best friends for like 7 years, the reason we broke up is because I moved] that I found someone new? & how should I tell him.
Thanks. =P

He should understand and if he doesnt, he's not worth your friendship, because obviously he hasent let go completely of you all's relationship and then it's just worse to have somebody who cant let go. Good luck!

He's going to have to face that you're bound to find someone down there. If anything he should be happy for you. Sure, he may be bummed because you aren't his but what can you do? Just hang around in New Mexico not dating anyone for his benifit? [ EvilCheshire's advice column | Ask EvilCheshire A Question ]

I would let him know about it if the subject comes up. It will make it seem like you still like your ex if you run telling him about the relationship.
