I just broke up with my boyfriend "Andrew" of 5 months (I'm 14). I broke up with him because he made me feel bad, he was self-centered, and he always had to be right. I felt like the end of our relationship was coming anyway; we were just too similiar. I told him that I'd really like to be friends, and he didn't believe me. I was honest. I thought that a lot of the stress between us was because of the relationship,and we would've been such great friends. Later that day, another guy asked me out, and I said yes. Now, "Andrew" is really pissed off at me. He refuses to talk to me and he calls me a liar. I don't know what I did wrong.
How can I make him believe that I want to be his friend? How can I talk to him/what should I say?

Tell him what you told everyone on here - he makes you feel bad, he was self centered, he always had to be right, and you knew the relationship was coming to an end. Tell him that you would like to be his friend, and if he doesn't want to then you can understand. Give it some time, after you just went out with another guy, of course your ex boyfriend is going to be mad. [ xxoBriannax's advice column | Ask xxoBriannax A Question ]

You can talk to him by either calling him and telling him that you had no intension to ever hurt him and that you would really really like to be friends with him again or you can e-mail him online or even go up to him at school and ask him if you can talk to him for a minute (away from everyone). so basically tell him how you feel, trust me he will listen.
hope i helped,
