i want my ex back


Question Posted Saturday April 16 2011, 1:35 pm

Well, we both are in high school and he broke up with me saying "he needed time to get things in his life together". Like he's getting a job and his friends want to hang out and managing a girl friend is hard right now. But he also said "I still like you and if this doesn't work out again then I do want to be friends and you to be in my life". So I take that as he's willing to give it a shot again down the road? So it's been 2 weeks since we broke up and I've had all the opportunities in the world to hook up with other guys but I just don't! Because I don't want to have to admit them and because I want him to the be last guy I ever kissed/other things with. I'm not looking for any other guy but him and I don't want to get over him. So sometimes he texts me and he's nice and asks how i'm doing. But whenever I text him he's short and doesn't want to talk. So it's hard to be his friend. I really just want to come out and say "hey, I miss you a lot. And I just want to know if there is a chance we will date again or should I just straight up move on?" But I don't know if I should... Help, please.

Yeah you need to move on hun. I had the same problem with my ex. We dated for 3 years and he actually dumped me after I waited for him for 4 mths while he was in the military. He's tried to be my friend ever since. As a result, I changed my number and blocked him on facebook. If you decide later on down the road to be his friend that's cool, but it seems right now the wound is pretty fresh (figuratively speaking). He had some lame reasons for dumping you... I know it hurts now, but you'll be fine. It's something all of us have to deal with. Of course it doesn't feel good but it's apart of life. :-)

xoxo,
dottie4

Cut him out.

His reasons for dumping you are just excuses. I know it's hard to accept but the fact is, if he really cared about you and wanted to be with you, he wouldn't have broken up with you. Sure, he wants to keep you hanging on just in case he decides he wants a relationship later on but he's not being fair to you. You can't put your life on hold for a guy who doesn't really want you, or at least doesn't want you enough to be with you.

Delete his number, stop replying to his texts and remove him as a friend from any social networking sites. The only way this is going to get any better is if you stop talking to him and allow yourself to move on. Being dumped is never fun but it does get better and eventually you'll meet someone who cares about you and respects you.
