Ex Wants to be Friends, but I have no interest in this happening.
Question Posted Tuesday April 5 2011, 6:15 pm
My ex (we broke up about 7 months ago) texted me to today for the first time in a looong time. He started with small talk, but then asked me if I would like to get coffee as friends sometime. I don't want to at all, because I'm completely done with that part of my life and he's not the kind of person I would like to spend time with. How do I tell him I don't want to get coffee without being rude? Is simply saying "I'm not comfortable with that" too harsh? He's an easily upset guy.

1) I'm sorry but it has been 7 months and I have moved on with my life and I feel you should do the same please do not contact me again.
2) I am not interested in having a friendship with you, It has been a long time and I have moved on.
3. I'm sorry but I feel it would be best if we both didn't talk, I have no interest in seeing you again please do contact me.
Seven months is a long time for someone to still be thinking about an ex, You can use the lines I suggested but make sure you let him know that you do not want him to contact you again. Sometimes it isn't about being harsh, It's about getting your point across. If you have to be direct then be direct..he is the one that contacted you first. If he still continues to text you then let out your inner bitch he'll eventually get the picture. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]

You want to be completely open with him. By saying your not comfortable with that is not harsh but lets him know that you are far and over all that Jazz from months ago.
