I just got out of a relationship w/ a guy that I didn't talk to much before we started dating. He was a fun guy and I asked him to a dance and we got closer from there. Well, we broke up over a month ago, and he hasn't said anything to me at all really. He's smiled at me, but it's rare. I do want to keep a friendship with him even though he broke up with me. Should I talk to him first, or should I be patient and let it come...or tell him I miss talking to him? What would you do?

Don't push things though. Start slow and try to rebuild your friendship! [ Hubble08's advice column | Ask Hubble08 A Question ]

If he broke up with you and you still want to be friends with him, then I don't see any reason why he would hesitate if he enjoyed talking to you too. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
strictlyrouge answered Friday January 6 2006, 4:05 pm: first of all, you have to decide what kind of friend hes going to be. Are you two going to be best buds? Hang out every month or so? Once youve decided what YOU want, then you can find out what HE wants. Talk to him about stuff that you know both of you are interested in. If its hockey, then talk about the latest game, if its cooking, tell him about a cool recipe you saw. Just let it come naturally, and dont force conversation. If things get awkward, lighten it up, or just stop altogether. It's your call, you HAVE the power! [ strictlyrouge's advice column | Ask strictlyrouge A Question ]

Be like "I haven't talked to you in a while! How have you been?" That kind of deal. You could tell him that you miss talking to him.. If YOU would be comfortable saying that.
Just start up a conversation. Talk about projects you have in the same class and ask him how he's doing in that class. It's just small talk. Take baby steps. You'll get there. It's only been a month, so don't feel shot down if he doesn't want to talk to you. [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]
