this year on july 5th would've been a 2 year anniversary for me & an ex boyfriend. we didn't date for an extremely long time, but i fell really hard for him. he was my first real boyfriend. even since we've been broken up for a long time.. the feelings that i had for him have never went away. we still talk all the time. and he has new girlfriend. actually, he's still with the girl he cheated on me with. of course i have major feelings for this kid, but i know we can only be fiends. but for some reason no matter how many times i tell myself that i can't even start dating him again, i'm always torn by every little thing he says to/about me. like when he calls me beautiful.. i seriously just melt. and it's like i'm still a 13 year old girl with her first boyfriend. and i hate it. now with the 5th soo close.. iduno if we should talk?
so should i keep this guy as a friend..
& act like july 5th means nothing?
or should i stop talking to him for some time?
please helllppp! :[

Which the guy I'm like that with did the same thing to me. Second, he has a g/f, and the one he cheated on you with to boot. I'm sure your feelings for him mean something, and I'm not trying to bash that down, because I seriously feel the EXACT same way about my ex. BUT I think the best thing you could do FOR YOURSELF, is to just stay away from him for a while. Of course it's going to be hard, but you've been there done that girl, and he's already moved on, now you should for your own worth. It's okay to be friends, AFTER those feelings have gone away. The memory of him will always be with you, but there is a reason that he is an ex. He is a part of your past, and there is a reason for that. It means you have a better futur waiting for you. My opinion, being in your shoes before, is to stop talking to him for a little bit AND it does NOT have to be a bad ending. You can talk to him about it, just tell him you think you need some time to come into your own, or maybe something elss corny, if you guys still talk now. You don't have to be mean, or just drop off the face of the earth, you CAN explain things to him. And, if he is a good guy, he SHOULD be understanding, and want whats best for you. You two can ALWAYS be friends later on if he's a good guy too... That's just my suggestion, I could have it all wrong, but, good luck either way. =) [ Ava29's advice column | Ask Ava29 A Question ]
