Awkward with Ex Boyfriend
Hey Jack!
I love your column. You give the best advice!
It makes a lot of sense to sty single until college. Relationships are so complicated!
I have a problem actually. A boy & I wer dating for a month, wev been on & off for a few years though.
Anyay, he promised he wasnt like all boys, he was more mature, hed always be with me, etc.
In the end, he turned out to be a lying manipulator. So i dumped him.
Now i dont MISS him per say, but its still tough seeing him in school. & talking to him is the worst. We are in the same group in math...
Anyway, its only been two days. I dont know what to do! I want us to be friends. Eventually. How do i make that happen? How do i handle this breakup with class? How much of an explanation do i owe him?
Am i suposed to call him to let him know i need to give him a few of his things back, or do i keep them until he asks for them? Im just a confused 14 year old girl!
Thank you so much,
Leona

Hey. Thanks for inboxing me =].
I am actually pretty good friends with my last girlfriend, who is obviously now my ex.
Just give it time. It took her and I about three months before we could actually get over it and move on. The more you try to push being friends again so soon, the less likely it will happen. Like I said, just give it time.
You don't really owe him an explanation unless he asks for it. Now I'm not saying to just not talk to him at all, I'm saying you should maybe clear up any misunderstandings with him, and then let the friendship come back with time.
As far as the things go, I'm not quite sure. Perhaps you shouldn't mention it unless he brings it up and asks for things back. If he doesn't, I would say after three or four months you should give it back. Then again, I could be completely wrong about that.
