This past week I admitted to my ex that I still missed him after we had broken up last summer. We had been on/off since the beginning of last year, but after this summer we broke up, seemingly for good, and we both found other people to date. But neither of those relationships worked out for either of us. And so I admitted to him that I missed him, and he said he had been thinking the same thing. So we decided we were going to give us another shot. We agreed not to make anything official yet, but then I asked if this was for real, or if this was just a fling, and he said he wanted to committ to it. So the next day when I went to see him, we hooked up and made plans for a double date with some friends of mine. But later that night, he told me that he wasn't ready for a relationship like he thought he was, and he was sorry about it all. I understand this, but I just want outside opinions: Do you think we have a chance of being together if I wait for him? Or should I just move on because of the instability of our relationship?

Jami answered Sunday March 15 2009, 4:58 am: I think that you will probably be disapointed if you wait around for him. Go out and see other people. You could meet someone great, then your ex won't even be a factor. Life is too short for you to put anything on hold for someone who is offering no promises. Live your life and if things are meant to happen between you two, they will. If not, don't lose any sleep over it because he doesn't seem to care at the moment. Let him play the field and you move on elsewhere. [ Jami's advice column | Ask Jami A Question ]

Apparently he doesn't want a girlfriend and isn't ready for a relationship but what about you. Personally I think it was pretty selfish of him to basically lead you on like he was ready. He got your hopes when he should have just been straight with you from the get-go. Don't wait for something that might never happen. Like I tell other people, if you guys' paths ever cross again then go from there. [ S0Exciited's advice column | Ask S0Exciited A Question ]
