Am i still in love?


Question Posted Tuesday November 10 2009, 6:48 pm

i just recently was dumped by my boyfriend. We decided to be friends and im okay with that. But today he gave me a hug, and when he did he asked (kinda whispered in my ear) if i hated him. i said no(we were still hugging). then he kinda 'embraced' me and looked in my eyes and was like, promise? and i felt my stomach drop and i got kinda weak in the knees and it freaked me out. I didn't know what to do so i said 'okay were too close' and i backed away. i think he was kinda offended by that. I honestly dont think i can trust myself to be that close to him yet. i had the urge to kiss him, and i can't do that anymore. He sent me an email asking what was up with it. Do i tell him the truth? Also what do you guys think of the situation.
Thanks a bunch

Additional info, added Tuesday November 10 2009, 6:51 pm:
Also, just so you guys can get why that was so meaningful to me, the 'promise' thing is kinda special. When we were dating and he asked if i loved him he'd pull me close and once i'd say yes hed say, promise? and then kiss me. So it was really hard for me avoid kissing him..

Lonely Girl,

You should be honest with yourself and with him. Maybe its too early to hang out together maybe you need sometime apart to think about things. Starting a friendship right after you've been dumped is really hard and its not easy because the feelings still exist. He may think that this is going to be easy and wants to know if you'll be okay with it...but it doesn't sound like you are it sounds like you're still in love. Maybe its best if you give each other space for a bit to think about things.

i would say you are still in love with him, and i think you should tell him that you just need to keep a bit of space between each other. i don't mean not seeing each other, i just mean don't come into close contact. and as its pretty obvious he still cares he'll want you to - this is going to sound harsh but - get over it so you can be proper friends.x

To me, it sounds like you're still in love with this guy. And the way you describe how he acted during the hug, it seems like he still cares about you too. Maybe after you've had some time to heal, (only if you want to), ask him if you both can try again and rekindle that old romance(:
