good friend that became an ex
I dated a good friend of mine twice (twice he broke up with me, the last time I chewed him out), and now ever since we don't really talk anymore. Before we started going out, he and I would always talk about our lives and what was going on and how we were feeling and it was nice to have someone to listen to me. We had been friends for about 1/2 a year until we began dating. It's been 3 months since we broke up last, and I'm not interested in dating him anymore, but I miss the relationship we had before all that mess. I feel like I should just contact him and say what's up and catch up with him, but I don't want him to think I want him back. What should I do?

You should call him. Tell him that you want the old relationship you guys had before you started going out. Tell him that you just want to be friends with him though so he won't think that you want to go out with him again. He may not want to be friends though so be aware of that and don't be too surprised. But hey, its worth the shot if you want to be friends with him. I hope everything works out for you!

Honestly... I'd just call and say that while I realize that a romantic relationship would not be possible, that I do miss the friendship. And just ask, honestly, if he thought it was possible for the two of you to just be friends. There's a chance he may not think it's a good idea... If so, try not to take it personal. Some people just can't be friends with someone they have dated. I know because I am one of those people.
