hi. today is my ex-boyfriend's birthday & we ended kinda rough cause we were good friends & he asked me out... but i was intimidated cause i really wanted a boyfriend & didn't actually like him, so i dumped him. & we promised each other we would be friends afterwards but... well i sorta started ignoring him cause he is really uncool & i didnt want people to find out we ever went out. should i send him a quick email saying happy birthday, or just let it go? in the hallways, i used to smile or something but now when i do, he looks the other way. he sent me several emails saying are you mad at me & he was just being so stupid & i got so mad at him cause he liked me for less than 24 hours before he asked me out.. when i liked him for like 3 months! (i liked him & stopped and then he liked me & asked me out). so should i send him an email saying happy birthday? or just let it go? thanks in advance!

Personally, I think you're a shallow girl. Just because he's not "cool" you don't wanna hang out with him. No matter what anyone thinks about themselves, no one is cool. No one is popular. And no one is better than anyone else. And if you think you're the three of those things, you might as well just fall over & stop breathing. "Cool" kids are the reasons why others have low self esteems, and why the freaking Columbine happened. So get over yourself. No one's cool, no matter what the hell they think.
Just be friends with him & let people know you went out. Even if they rag on you for it, who cares. They're all losers anyways so who cares what they think. What they say should mean NOTHING to you. What I say should since you asked for advice & you're getting it. But when people just state their opinion without being asked, then it shouldn't mean anything to you.
Email him saying happy birthday. Call him saying happy birthday. IM him if you've got to. And in the meantime get over yourself sweetie. You're not better than him, and he's not better than you. You're equal. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
