Last summer, I broke up with my boyfriend of 8 months. I thought it was the right thing to do, and during the summer, we stopped talking to each other because we both went off to camp and vacation. When we went back to school we sort of stopped talking. I don't want to get back together with him, I just want to be friends. We haven't really talked in a while and I feel like we've both changed, but not enough to make us opposites.
What should I do or say? I don't want to make it seem like I want to get back together with him, but I don't want to say the wrong thing that will make him dislike me.

You can talk to him, if you were able to talk when you were dating, I'm sure it wont be that hard to tellhim this now.
If you really think thats a bad idea, then maybe you should just try talking to him whenever you see him. Like go out of your way to say hi. But don't act like you are nervous because he will think that you like him again.
The reason he isnt making his way over to talk to you, is he may be afraid that if he spends too much time with you, he may fall for you again.
Well good luck, I hope you two can still be friends.
Love,
