He left you because he still had feelings for an ex. You thought that what he did was cruel and wrong and that he shouldn't still have feelings for her. Now he is your ex and you have feelings for him. You now understand why he felt the way he did and are worried that you are a hypocrite and that feeling that way is wrong.
The thing is, you're upset with what he did, not with what he felt. Feeling something and acting on that feeling are two different things. Yes, it's ok to feel the way you do just as long as you don't do what he did. Don't start dating another guy when you are not ready. Get over him first or accept that you two aren't going to be together so you don't hurt someone like he hurt you.
I'm sorry that this happened to you. Remember that he didn't break up with you because you're not good enough or because she's better. He broke up with you because he wasn't ready for you. Nothing more. I hope you feel better about this soon and good luck. :) [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]

Well, it is fine for you to still like him and think about him and still what to go out with him. It's only natural, you can't get over someone that quick. But soon enough you might starting liking someone else, you will eventually let go and not think about him anymore.
xokaylanicoleox answered Wednesday May 3 2006, 11:33 am: Personally, I do think it's okay, but it isn't healthy. It isn't healthy to like a guy who you know doesn't like you as much as his ex. ((Reason being why ya'll aren't dating)). &I think it is only fair to you to let him go .. slowly, but let go. Because chances are .. he isn't turning back around. I'm really sorry about that!

Vikki27 answered Wednesday May 3 2006, 11:09 am: It's a very unfortunate situation and I'm sure you're hurting right now. I'm sorry he wasn't over his ex. Unfortunately, this isn't an uncommon situation and you're lucky that he was honest with you about it.
Absoloutely, it's okay that you still like him and want to go out with him, as long as you don't dwell on it too much. I know you like him but he's made his choice and now you need to try to move on. I'm sure you're a great girl and chances are that there's another bloke for you just round the corner. Chin up. You'll be fine. [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]

orphans answered Wednesday May 3 2006, 7:20 am: Of course it's okay! Just don't try to break up him and his new girlfriend, because that could be trouble. And don't act like a slut around him either. :) [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
