Okay, well my ex boyfriend wasn't the best person to and for me. We just broke up recently. Well this other guy like me alot, so he asked me out, seeing as how we are best friends I said yes. Now, I'm totally regretting it. I am madly in love with my ex and it kills me everday because we're not together. I seriously just want to die w. out him. So I have to break up with the other guy, my best friend. But he is crazy about me, and I thought I was about him. What should I tell him?
I know I'm going to tell my ex I still love him, I'm that kind of person to do that.
But my best friend. :'[
someone please help me. this is awful.

I know it's hard to get over a relationship, even destructive relationships are hard to let go of. Try to take a rational look at why you feel you're madly in love with your ex and you may find some surprising truths about yourself. Perhaps you are right about this "best friend" not being the one, but remember the "RIght" one should always be your best friend! [ EricStarr's advice column | Ask EricStarr A Question ]
vilelove answered Thursday March 9 2006, 8:04 pm: Hey. i've been in a very similar situation (except I didn't like my friend at all but he liked me A LOT). Although from experience I don't think it'll work out betweeny ou and your ex (it might but from how you described it and what I've been through I think it might not), that is something for you to find otu and learn and experience. If you like your ex so much (regardless on if he likes you back or not) then you're not in a state to be with anybody else. You need to tell your friend that you recently got out of a relationship and when he asked you out you thought it could work out because he's such a great guy, but you're not 'well' enough to be in a relationship yet, because of how recently it happened and how much that guy meant to you. You need time to 'heal'. He'll understand and won't think you're just trying to break up with him and won't hate you or anything. And it leaves the door open for if you ever get over your ex and are still interested in him. Also, if you and your ex DO get back together it won't be so weird because it IS recently and he DOES mean a lot to you. Well good luck with all of this.
