if you really want to be with your current boy, then you have to break all ties with your ex. Otherwise, you won't get over him, and that won't be fair for any of you. If you don't want to leave your feelings for your ex, then go date him.

You follow whatever your heart tells you to do.
Sounds like its with the ex.

Now before you jump in there, ask yourself has anything really changed since your broke up?
You have but has he? Is it for the better?
Problems don't just go away.

You also need to consider this. I hate mentioning
it but I will so you give it some thought. Could he be doing all this to get back at you? Make you
think something is going to happen and once you
break up with your boyfriend just say, well payback is a bitch? You know his personality, is
he capable of that?

It just seems he was really interested in the fact it took you a while to get over him. I'm sure that
was a big ego boost for him.

What I think you should do is just be friendly with him for a little while. Text him, talk. See
what is really going on before you dump a guy that
likes you.

Good luck. :)

Awe, I'm sorry, doll. ):

Well, I would honestly think long and hard about this. I know it really sucks when you have to pick between two guys that you really like. What I would do about your ex is really consider if he's worth going back out with. It sounds like you REALLY do like him, and it sounds like he's a pretty cool guy. But to tell you flat-out: it's probably not going to work out again. I'm not saying that to be rude or anything, but just think: no matter how much you guys still like each other, there's gonna be a little bit of space & awkwardness because of what has already happened. Then again, your current boyfriend sounds like a good guy, too. If you like him, but you're not feeling it as much as him, or you're confused, let him go. Or, even take a break. Honestly, you could always stay single for at least a week or two & see what your true feelings are. I'm not saying you & your ex don't have a chance, I'm just telling you that if you go back out with him, and dump your current boyfriend, you might end up regretting it.

I hope I gave some support & advice,
and good luck. <3

Jess

Thankyou for the question.


Firstly, you shouldn't let anyones answers on here influence your ultimate decision. It should all be down to you and your feelings.


Pros/cons and points to think about:
**Your last relationship failed for a reason. Although you say it was your fault, who's to say whatever happened won't happen again?
**Are you 100% certain you LOVE your ex? and not just miss certain things about him because your new boyfriend is different?
**Would you still like your ex if you didn't know he still liked you?
**You have a great guy at the moment. Would you want to ruin that?
**Which guy will treat you better? Don't just go for your ex because you have history.
**Are you sure your ex didn't just say that because he doesn't have a girlfriend of his own at the moment? and he's jealous you have a new boy?



You had your chance with your ex and basically, you did things which made him break up with you. That isn't a sign of love.
I don't know your age, but I'm guessing you're in mid teens.
This is such a common problem. They don't know what they want.


If you really want my honest opinion, it would be to not be in a relationship for a while - with either of them.
You don't seem emotionally stable because you don't know what you want - and you like them both.
Maybe a bit of time without them will make it easier for you to make your decision.



I'm sorry I can't be much help in this situation, although I really do think you should take some time out.
Time makes everything better and it will definitely make things clearer.



Goodluck.

Yo.
Ok so if you REALLLYY REALLLYYY REEALLLLYYY (so on,) love your ex, you should break up with your bf. But, since you said that your bf was a really great guy, tell him that you have feelings for another guy and dont want to let him know the hard way. Tell him that you think that he is an awesome guy and that you still want to be friends, but just not bf, gf.
Hope I could help.:)
Good Luck.

sugarplum07 answered Sunday September 2 2007, 11:28 am:
Here's what I think you should do. It might sound childish, but I do this type of stuff all the time and it always helps me. I want you to make two columns on a piece of paper. At the top of one column, put your ex's name, and at the top of the second column, put your boyfriend's name. Then, I want you to right down as many good things about them in their columns as you can. Write only things like "helps me with homework" or "gets along with my friends." Stuff like "he's so hot" doesn't count, because you obviously see that already in both of them. Basically write down all the nice things they do for you and/or why you think they would be good boyfriends.

Now, which list has more? Who would make you more happy? The point of the columns is to truly find out who is the better guy for you based on how they are as a person. Whoever you think would treat you the best, respect you, and make you feel special is the one you want to be with.

In the end, if you decide your current boyfriend is that guy, just tell your ex you would like to stay friends because, like you said, you've changed a lot since you've been together and your new boyfriend is just the thing you need right now.

If you end up wanting your ex back, explain to your boyfriend how you feel and hope that you two can remain friends. Tell him he deserves to be with someone who will truly feel the same way about him and you don't want him to end up getting hurt because you like someone else more. If he is the great guy you say he is, he will understand.

Good luck and I hope things turn out okay!
