I'm 17 and female. I know this probably sounds really stupid, but I was dating this guy for 2 years and then about 9 months ago we broke up. I started dating loads of other guys and everything was ok, but then last night I saw him with his new girlfriend and it destroyed me. I still really love him and I dont know what to do. Do i tell him? Or do I just tell him I'm happy for him. I should have forgotten him by now... Thanks.

my boyfriend & i were together for about 2 years & we broke up 9 months ago also.
& he just recently got a new girlfriend & i seen them making out after a dance together & it killed everything i had.
i told my ex that i still loved him, before he got a girlfriend & it didn't solve too much.
i had tons of other boyfriends & i tried my hardest to let go, but nothing ever worked. especially because i kept cheating on them with my ex.
maybe telling him the truth would clear up your conscious. but i can promise you that when you least expect it, something amazing will happen.
& everything will make sense again. [ karisue's advice column | Ask karisue A Question ]
Razhie answered Sunday September 30 2007, 12:35 pm: Who says you should have forgotten him by now?
You might never 'forget' him, you spent a good chunk of your life with him, seeing him might always affect you. That doesn't mean you haven't moved on and it doesn't mean you can't be happy for him. All that means is that you probably don't want to hang around him much.
Feelings don't get switched off with the press of a button. It doesn't take a few months for a person to longer effect you in some way, in can years until you really feel 'nothing' when you see them.
Tell him you are happy for him and be happy for him. The intense feelings you are having of seeing him again with someone new will pass and you will be fine. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
LuvStruckTeen answered Sunday September 30 2007, 11:04 am: i had a simular problem like this...i dated a guy who lived kinda far away for a yr and we broke up and it kinda ruined me becuze i liked him so much. but 2 months later i found a great guy who i'm w/ now and i know i'm happy-er. so you need to realize he is probably moved on. so you should be happy for him even if your not completely. if you tell him how you really feel things might get awkward so i wouldnt risk it. hope i helped...

dannigal07 answered Sunday September 30 2007, 9:03 am: hey there a thinkyou should tell him your happy for him and just try and move on best you can, im in a similar situation myself i still love my ex but its more complicated because we are best friends and yes ive dated other guys and it doesnt work and yes he had a girlfriend who was my friend and i told him i was happy for him even though deep down your not and it hurts but i just put a smile on my face and show him that he isnt everything even though he pretty much is so a suggest u just try put your chin up and try not seeing him and eventually those feeings should pass. hope it helped [ dannigal07's advice column | Ask dannigal07 A Question ]
hayley90 answered Sunday September 30 2007, 7:01 am: It doesnt sound stupid at all! I am 17 female and in a kind of similar situation, I split up with my boyfriend 6 months ago and I still love him, I tried dating other guys but it was no use! Your ex may just be trying to move on but no1 is saying it will work, It didnt for me!! Let him be happy with his new girlfriend but if things dont work out between them step in and tell him how you feel. My ex has been single since we split up, and I tried telling him how I felt but he didnt want to know :( but it might work out for you!
Hope I helped :) [ hayley90's advice column | Ask hayley90 A Question ]
