Question Posted Thursday September 29 2005, 6:41 am
my boyfriend broke up with me a few weeks ago..due to..extreme differences we'll say. we hadn't really talked in person since..a few words at a party..a couple words at school. yesterday, he was holding the door open for my class who was going outside. i said thank you and he started talking to me. he told me that one of my favorite cds was on my teachers desk. i was like "really?" and he said "yeah, i'll show it to you later." that never happened..but that's besides the point..he was the one trying to talk to me. when we were outside i was in the front row on the bleachers and i turned around and he was looking it me. we made eye contact for a second and then he looked up to the sky. haha. then last night i go on myspace..and he commenting saying that we haven't hung out in a while and we should make some time to...we talked about still being friends after we broke up...but i wasnt sure that that was going to happen since we hadnt talked in a while. i convinced myself that i didnt care if i ws ever friends with him..but now i'm thinking..maybe it wouldnt be so bad. i like his friends so i would get to see them more out of the deal too. hahaha. but do you think there alterior motives underneath the friendship thing..like you don't think this means he misses me and would want to get back together, right?

It's a good thing to have someone to love you so much. I think that you should definitely go for it because he wants to be around you. He wants to talk to you, and he wants to see you. There's no harm in that at all. You really should go for it and then everything should be okay. Just try and follow your heart but I really do think that you should go for it when it comes to being friends with this guy. After all, you'll only be friends.

If you really just want to be friends it is possible.
If you want to be just friends let him know this up front... that it is friends only. Some people just make better friends than lovers. It could be he just misses your company. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
