Okay well i have this ex boyfriend and we dated over the summer but i broke up with him because i cheated and believed that he needed a better girlfriend. we use to tell eachother "i love you" and everything and it hurt alot to break up. we kept in contact over the next six months and i never lost my feelings for him. then on a conversation over the phone he slipped up and said babe. it was silent and then he started spilling out how he still cares about me. It was really emotional and we said our "i love yous" again. we're not in a relationship because of distance and i'm grounded. but at school there's other guys and when i talk to him i want to be with him but i know the timings not right. i want to date other people but does that mean i'm not in love with him? but then what are the feelings i have for him if not love?

You also like other guys..but there's still your ex.
It's a mind thing, and you're not sure if you feel ok being with another guy though you love your ex.

Distance wouldn't matter and you wouldn't want or need anyone else. You do care for him enough in the sense that you broke up with him knowing he deserves better, but you don't care about him enough where you are in love with him. If you were, you wouldn't have done those things to him. If you still want to argue that true love is what you feel for him, than that means you are infatuated with him. You are in love with the idea of being in love but are not. It is passion based on attraction. [ for3v3r_his's advice column | Ask for3v3r_his A Question ]
