Question Posted Saturday November 22 2008, 5:29 am
Male, mid 20's.
I don't need advice on how to get my ex to be my friend again, I've already asked and researched and everything. I'm ready to be friends again.
I just don't know how to get her to talk to me so I can do all that. I mean, is there like a perfect email/blog comment/phone call that will make her actually take notice enough to let me say what I have to say?

Leave it alone, you tried, there was not enough, let it go. As ex's at your age, there is too much conflict to be friends and she knows it. She loves you, you love her, it will always be that way, love doesn't just go away. Most people can't find their soul mates when their judgment is being clouded by another love. Say good bye for now, look for your only, perhaps life will bring you back together as friends someday. Don't doubt the plan. [ GilbertMar's advice column | Ask GilbertMar A Question ]

She might not want to be friends then, because girls tend to be more emotionally involved and need a clean break to really move on. Trying to be her friend might backfire and cause her to get all confused and upset. Did she break up with you? If that turns out to be the case, I would approach it carefully. She might not want you in her life or she might think you hate her, so casually send her a text/email that says "heyy whats up with you nowadays?" and see how she responds back. If she doesn't respond at all, being friends probably isn't the best idea. Lastly! If it ended badly, chances are she's probably still pissed and it'll take alot more than a nice text/e-mail to be friends with her. Bad, messy break-ups never equal a good friendship, no matter how much time has gone by. Anger and frustration always prevails there. [ just_ask_me's advice column | Ask just_ask_me A Question ]
