So back in May my boyfriend and I broke up. I've gotten over him and now have a new boyfriend. I sent him a friend request back a few weeks ago on Xbox but he declined. We go to the same church but I don't go there often. I really want to be his friend again and I know he might too. How can I work this out. (he has a new gf btw and I just want to be his friend)

Dragonflymagic answered Wednesday July 17 2013, 9:17 pm: You broke up May and it's July. It hasnt been long. Give yourself more time to get over him. If he has a new girlfriend and you're insisting on forcing contact causes him to lose his current girl, then he will not be happy with you at all, it could even be anger he has toward you. You could also endanger your new relationship.
A relationship doesnt 'grow' itself. If you want to be happy with your current guy, then remember this,
"Happily ever after doesnt happen just because you wish it so. It only happens when both people put in maximum effort to make it so."
You won't be able to do that if half your focus is still on the last guy. Tell your self it is over and move on. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]

But honestly, why do you want to be his friend again? I'm big on not being friends with your ex's. Only because it's unnecessary and it causes drama. It's ok to be nice and you don't have to hate each other, but to be friends is a different story.
In my opinion, the past should stay in the past. Most people who stay friends with their ex is when they are single, never really cared for each other and dated each other briefly, or can't let go of the relationship.
I think the only time they should stay friends is when they have kids.
Xui answered Wednesday July 17 2013, 1:06 am: You haven't moved on, If you did you wouldn't care so much to be his friend. He moved on, He is no longer in a relationship with you and clearly he does not want any contact with you. You are in a new relationship, Why are you still crawling back to your ex? Why do you even still care?...
Stop sending him friends request, Stop looking at his page period. If you wabt your current relationship to work then leave the past the past. He is over it, He doesn't care anymore. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
