Mercy_x_Me answered Sunday December 11 2005, 11:48 am: Just let him know you still want to be friends. Try not to cry, it's not really worth those tears. Your only 15 and you have years & years ahead of you to meet new people, even if it doesn't mean you're gonna wind up with him. But who knows what the future holds. He's not the only guy in the world. As hard as it may seem, life will move on. IM him or call him and just tell him you still want to be friends.

LianaBW83 answered Sunday December 11 2005, 11:22 am: its going to tkae time for you guys to be able to talk and be friends again. breaking up is really hard, especially if you were going out for a year. if you give it time, you guys will be friends.

Tell him what you want from your relationship with him. He will most likely accept your friendship. Apologize if needed. [ xxoBriannax's advice column | Ask xxoBriannax A Question ]
krazykaz4eva answered Sunday December 11 2005, 7:00 am: firstly think to yourself "why did we break up?" was it because he was mean to you? did he ignore you sometimes? wel whatever it was you can now say to yourself "wel i'm relieved to finally get out of that relationship and get on with my life.to be honest he wasn't a very good boyfrind". then you need to think to yourself" why was he my boyfriend?"is he kind?is he generous?is he thoughtful?wel these are all the qualities of a good friend.so if you think a bout maybe you were just good frineds.good friends who liked to touch each other!all in all i think you should stay friends with him and if he doesnt want to stay friends with you wel then he was a very nice person to begin with because you didn't just hav a relationship because of ach others looks.i no dat was most of it but not the whole thing!part of you relationship was each others personaltiy.
hope i helped!xoxo [ krazykaz4eva's advice column | Ask krazykaz4eva A Question ]
lucretia answered Sunday December 11 2005, 4:45 am: Your question should, I suspect,really be" How can I stop crying myself to sleep?" Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you feel that being friends with him would hurt that much, chances are you're really hurting anyway.
And this is where the situation gets sticky;a clean break, or the gut-wrenching but sometimes neccesary morass which is post-relationship friendship. I know from bitterish experience that one person's friendship is another's barely disguised longing to get back together;from your question I would guess(again, sorry if I'm wrong)that you are the one who would want to reinstate the relationship. If this is the case, then the only advice I can honestly give is to take a deep breath and forget about "friendship" for a while. It doesn't have to be forever, just until you're sufficiently over him to be able to enjoy his company without longing every moment to get back together. In the meantime, make other freinds, hang out, enjoy your own company and that of your girlfriends. A year is a long time to have dated at age fifteen. You have to give yourself time to feel better. Good luck. [ lucretia's advice column | Ask lucretia A Question ]
