I probably wasnt clear enough on my last question, but...I'm asking my ex on prom how he feels about me, plain as that. But, his most recent ex gf is going to be there, and she's still in love with him. I'm not sure how I feel about him, but it's starting to learn towards love. How do I ask him how he feels without like...being way too straightforward?

Straight forward is the best way.  Just tell him you've felt really close to him lately and you were wondering if he thinks that you two might be headed toward giving this whole relationship thing another try.

Really hard to say. A lot depends on what's up with his girlfriend. Was she at the Dance? Did they break up? Did they show up with separate dates? Did they Dance together? it really depends on all that. You probably missed a great opportunity, you should have asked him for a dance that nite.  You should ask him what is going on with his girlfriend and go from there.

You will never know the answer till you ask the question - TO THE PERSON YOU WANT THE ANSWER FROM.\nHaving not asked him how he feels, you are just assuming he loves you. \nWhat are your feelings in this matter? Towards him and otherwise? Do you love him? If so, have you told him that you do?\nYou say you've tried waiting for him; is this something he is just supposed to figure out on his own.\nIf you care about him and have remained silent yourself about the fact, why should he even be expected to come to you.\nThe best policy always is communication. Never to assume you know the thoughts and/or feelings of any person other than yourself.\nBy not approaching him with your questions, you have in a way, set him up to fail from the start.\nTalk to him. You may be surprised. What if he thinks the same way you are thinking and is waiting for you to say something? Well, then you will have both lost.

Wow, I am in a situation similar to yours as well.  My next-door neighbor and I grew up together, and I found out that he had a crush on me since we first met each other, which was about 7 years ago.  I was in a long-term relationship with my ex, but me and the neighbor remained friends throughout the whole time.  We didn't start getting closer until the summer of last year, when we started hanging out more and more, and I finally saw a different side to him, a kind, considerate, more gentler side.  We became fast friends and I started developing feelings for him.  We eventually talked about it and we aren't together now (mainly because he's in the military and is about to go to Iraq---he didn't want a relationship while he was over there), we have been talking and thinking about the future, because the feelings are definitely mutual there.  To make this long story short, you should tell your neighbor how you feel about him.  Who knows, he could have the same exact feelings.  Take things slow and gradual, and something could eventually escalate from that.  I'm very happy right now, even just as best friends, and even though it's hard for us to really hide our feelings for each other, I definitely know those feelings are still there.  Wish you nothing but the best!!!

Ask him. one last time, if he will go with you. If he says no; tell him that you are going to go with one of your male friends, and do just that! Then ask yourself whether or not he is the one for you (If he can not see how important the Prom is to you and put his own feelings aside to make you happy you may want to consider kicking him to the curb!

Tell him that you was just wandering how he felt about you and if he tells you then you need to tell him how you feel.  If he asks why you want to know then tell him that you want to know how he feels in case he was to go to war somewhere.

Its just going to take time to get over this other guy.  You shared memories with him and for now they depress u a little but in time when u think of these things it will make u smile and will not hurt anymore.  And before u know it you'll be thinking " what was that guys name that took me to the prom????  hmmmmmm"  Dont allow it to interfere with your new guy.  Otherwise its going to hurt him in the long run!

Okay so i can understand that he's freaked by the fact he knows your ex. But if he really likes you then he's gotta get over it!! I for one say never wait for the other person to make the move. You like him. Talk to him. Tell him how you feel.\n\nAnd since you caught your ex cheating on you then well, the other guy shouldn't really care what your ex thinks. Meaning your ex shouldn't be a part of this picture.\n\nThe best way to find out what he's thinking is to ask him yourself!!

If you're worried about how the ex-boyfriend will feel the key word to remember is EX. If he is really your friend he would want you to be happy.

No, I don't talk to any of my ex's.. but one thing I would do is ask the ex what his intention to get in touch with oyou after so long is.  He is probably unhappy in his relationship and wants to bring you into his life for some reason.. If he was single, I would think his intentions were okay.. but since he IS in ANOTHER relationship, he needs to break up with his current GF and then pursuit hsi ex's.  Word of advice for you-- tell your current significant other!  He should know from you then ever finding out by accident.  Good luck with this sticky situation!!!

hi, i feel that you should not be talking to your ex, if\nyou are still close that good but he has a girlfriend, and\ni feel it very  disrespectful of him to be talking to you\nabout his problem with her. because if the shoe was on the\nother foot how would you feel. he need to get his situation\nwith her together and  if it meant for you and him to get back\nyou will. the big guest ion you should ask yourself seriously\nif he so unhappy with her then as you stated why is he still\nthere.

i'd feel hurt 2.\ni'd hope it was just the way he is, happy 4 her good fortune, but that dreaded jealousy demon would grab me, 2.\ni think ur entirely normal and feeling a lil hurt by his behaviour.\nthink it's time 4 a heart 2 heart and ask him what his true feelings r 4 his ex.\nyes tell him how hurt u r feeling, nobody likes 2 feel threatened by exs.\nsit him down and ask 4 some reassurances.\nremember 2 stay calm and listen 2 him.

I think no matter what, he's still going to have feelings for her. After all, they were in a relationship  together. The best thing to do is to just ask him if he still has feelings for her. As long as he isn't cheating or publicly displaying his affection for her, you're all good

PLEASE GIVE MORE DETAILS!!! Sorry, but I really try to answer these questions to the best of my ability but it's damn near impossible when it's so vague.  Anyway, with that said, the only adice I can give you is to get yourself calm and relaxed and simply ask him to discuss his feelings toward you as honestly as possible and let him know that it is very important for you to hear about his true feelings.

well hun, before you ask us the questions you need to ask yourself some, Do you love him? Is he kind? Does he love you? Is he a good provider? and most importantly: DOES HE LOVE YOU? i personally think that you sound like you love this man, but i think you should give it time, see if he may be back fooling around with his ex. and another question, are you and his ex close? (you say she lives with you right?) well always remember this: GUYS COME AND GO, BUT FRIENDS WILL BE THERE FOREVER. good luck I hope you make the right choice, keep us posted plz!

Go to prom with him, have fun, relax. Dont give into him and his desire to get into your pants....however just a word of advice sometimes the best relationships come from the best of friends so always keep an open mind, even if your not interested now.....there is always the future. Have fun at prom!

You need to think about your status right now. How do you feel about your ex boyfriend? Why did you  leave him? And then ask yourself why exactly it is you want to see the guy you met, and why exactly  it is that you  like him. \n\nReflect on this before making a decision. It's never a good idea to start something new while on the "rebound" because you might make wrong decisions and someone could end up getting hurt.\n\nThe one thing I've always had problems with while being on the 'rebound' is hurting the  'new guy'. I would talk about my ex and say i was mad at him all the time, but what it meant was I was still thinking about him. \n\nIf you find yourself constantly talking about your ex; either negatively or positively, i would definitely steer clear of starting something new until I was confident that I was ready.\n\nBest of luck!\n-Mick
