I am going out with this guy to get over my ex-boyfriend who I like, and don't like new guy.
Question Posted Friday August 7 2009, 2:27 pm
okay soooo i'm going out with this guy and hes nice and funny and pretty hot, but i think the only reason i might be going out with him is so i can get over my ex!! The reason y me and my ex broke up was because he was going out of town for the whole summer and we wouldnt see eachother at all. I think i still have feelings for my ex and not my new bf wat do i do??
plus my new bf is in Hawaii right now in a surf competition and im afraid if i break up with him he'll do bad!!
Ask yourself, do you have feelings for the new boyfriend? If you don't, you need to be honest to him, which would mean breaking up.
It is best to leave this until he gets back from the competition, both because you don't want to affect his performance, and also because you should do it in person.
As for the ex, whose idea was it to break up? Going out of town is very much a normal part of life, and being in a relationship doesn't mean you have to see each other every day. If either of you can't accept this, you probably aren't ready for a committed relationship anyway. [ The_MoUsY_spell_checker's advice column | Ask The_MoUsY_spell_checker A Question ]

Then you need to think about which guy you have feelings for and which guy you do not. If you have feelings for your ex still, then you should break things off with the new one.
But for future advice, life is going to separate boyfriends and girlfriends for a period of time. The attraction will grow stronger with the period of distance. Actually spending time away from a boyfriend will show yourself how much you truly care about him. So if I were you I would not break up with my boyfriend because I won't be able to see him for a couple of months. Because if I truly love the guy my love will grow stronger and so will his. And if I don't love the guy spening time away from him will let me realize that so when he got back we could have a talk. [ Shaybo20's advice column | Ask Shaybo20 A Question ]

You're right to want to end things with him. It's only fair that you end things if you don't really have feelings for him. But do it when he gets back.
