I really like this guy but he's so hung up on his ex-girlfriend. He has her on his top people on his myspace, he still text messages her, he's so nice to her and she treats him like shit that's why they broke up. Like if we talk shit to her he like apologies to her. He's like whipped by someone he's not even with they were only together for like 3 months. I like him a lot and he flirts with me but he's still hung up and I don't wanna be with someone who still talks to there ex girlfriend. What should I do?
LM answered Monday August 20 2007, 10:57 am: They broke up, they're still friends, and you're complaining that he talks to her? If he was talking shit about any other of his friends, would you mind if he apologized? He's not doing anything wrong- he just wants to keep in contact with her. Not everyone becomes enemies with their exes, and if you can't accept that you may not be mature enough to handle a relationship with a guy who talks to other girls besides you.
You've also just answered your own question- you like this guy, but you don't want to be with him. Based on how you feel, you don't want to date him- so don't! Problem solved, right? Only thing is, if you decide to date a guy who alienates his ex-girlfriends just because they broke up, you may be upset if you two break it off and he ignores you. Just keep that in mind.
Endivisual answered Monday August 20 2007, 10:26 am: well, since you guys aren't going out you can't really blame him for being so hung up. just tell him to move on and help him with it because the girl sounds like she definately doesn't care about him anymore. he might want another chance with her but that's when you gotta be there for him. tell him the truth: what you think about her, how you think what he's doing with his ex is a lil stupid. it's not so wrong to have their ex's on their top friends and texting them. if they broke up and became good friends, he's allowed. but i don't see how that's possible cuz you said she treats him like shit. so.. idk... maybe tell him how you feel about him and maybe if he likes you back he'll realize starting over is better than making over.
