Ok well, I went out with my best guy friend and then after a week dumped him because it felt weird going out with my friend. Its been a month or so since we broke up and hes still mad at me. at first I was over him then I found out he was saying stuff about me and it made me mad. About 2 weeks ago he stopped talking about me and just started ignoring me. Last night, I went to this party and he was there, and he wouldn't talk to me. I was going to talk to him but I chickened out. I started flirting with his bestfriend to make him jealous. I don't know if it worked because I saw him looking at me with a blank stare but thats about it. Now I can't stop thinking about him. But the thing I dont want to like him!

first of all, you can't choose who you truly like. of course it's going to be strange going out with a friend. but sometimes it can make for a stonger relationship because you already have the friendship to support it. When you dumped him, you should have talked to him about your feelings, and asked what he thought about it, maybe you could have gotten over the weird factor. Just talk to him now, and tell him how you feel and how you felt while dating him. you never know, maybe you two will have something in common there. and if you can't stop thinking of him, you like him. and it's best if you just accept that. so go talk to him:). take care

Try talking to him. Online, over the phone (leave a message if he's not answering), write a letter or talk to him in person.
Tell him that you miss him and you want to start acting like friends again.
I think he really liked you and you hurt him. So of course he's upset and I don't know if he's over you yet or not.. But you know he's mad. You need to do something about it before you lose him completely.
Maybe you do like him, but you won't admit it.
Maybe you don't like him but you want him to be your friend again.
Don't flirt with best friends or anyone in that matter. Don't try to get him jealous because it will make him more angry and I don't think you'll want that. Just try to be nice to him and speak to him. Ask him if he's still mad at you. (even if you already know)
Why do you not want to like him?
Is it something he did? Is it appearance? Or the fact that he's your best guy friend?
Sometimes these things could work if you try. I know it seems weird at first but later it starts to comfortable and everything.
Sometimes breaking up can give off the wrong meaning. Like you want to STOP being friends or that you really dislike the person. (It's just how people think when they get rejected/dumped like that, especially so soon) [ queenhearts's advice column | Ask queenhearts A Question ]
