my advice. Keep it broken off. dont just forget what happened and why you broke up...it happened for a reason. FInd someone else that you want to be with. Please dont get into the make up/break up cycle. It really sucks!!!

Why is he an ex?  If it's a good reason, try to get over those residual feelings...know it's for the best that you aren't together.  I say, if you still have feelings, swallow your pride and let him know but also be prepared, just in case he says he doesn't feel the same.

Just because the two of you broke up doesn't mean you can brake off your feelings. It's going to take time for you to get over how you feel but you can do it. Why did you guys brake up anyway? If the love you feel is that deep maybe you should try again with this guy. Maybe he feels the same way but is not sure how you feel, it's worth a try.

Sounds like a great friend. Don't rush things, it's better to have a great friend than an ex-boyfriend. If he decides to change his way of thinking and date friends, I'm sure you will be the one he comes to. but for now just be happy you can spend time with him.

Think about all the reasons why he's your ex...after all that thought and consideration, you'll realize he's your ex for a reason...Move on!

Get over him. Since you broke up with him you should try to stick to your decision. Don't feel like he is the last guy on Earth.

This one is going to be difficult, so let's see if I can help.\n\nFirst, your ex.  Now, I take it he's your ex for a reason.  Ask yourself, is there a chance for a relationship with him?  And, if there is, would things end up differently if you two got back together?  If you answered "no" to either question, then rule him out.\n\nSecond, your guy friend.  This is even trickier because if you do chose to pursue a relationship with him, it could end up being either being the best thing you ever had, or ending your friendship.  Does he feel the same about you?  If he does, then you may lose him if you don't date him.\n\nI hope this helps a bit.  Sorry I could not be more of a help.

You can still care for him, but think about the reason why he is your ex.  And the fact that you haven't talked to each other since the breakup shows that there was obviously something wrong with the relationship.\n\nDon't waste your time dwelling on the past and wondering "what if..."\n\nLook to the future and think about your own needs.

Friend - It depends on the reason for the break up.  Does he know it bothers you?  Have you discussed that he may still have feelings for her?  Not all break ups are the same or follow any rules.  GBU

Well first I'm curious why u broke up with him. If it was because he was cheating then he really isn't worth it.\n\nIf its something else, try approaching him as a friend and get an idea of how he feels about you. Work from there.

Ok!!! I think I get it. You broke up with your ex ok, you started to see this other guy but something is not right. Ok! Its not totally your fault but kinda is in away. but if you look at it this way.  He fell for you right after you broke up with your ex. When your still need to recover and think about what had happen between you and your ex. Figure things out!! RIGHT!  You really didn't need to be with him or any one. You really needed was a friend to talk to BUT (this is were its his fault)  he took that oppunity to get with you and now his all booty hurt becuase you pulled away.  He knew he was on the rebound.  If he cared enough for you he would of just left it as friends until you are ready for a relationship. So he can get the full true feeling of been in love with you.  Honestly his hurting himself because you did what was right about not let him go on knowning that there is a change for you two. But you should of been honest with him for the start.  You need to sit and talk to him and if he don't gave you that then its his lost cause.  Really if he really care for you, he would be htere as a true friend and wait a while to the time was right.  Then maybe there can be a change and things will feel right and nothing missing.  Your mind and heart is with someone else not with him.  If he can't expect that then its not your lost.  You just need to look at it if its one less person to know.  Your not a bad person for breaking it off with him. You told him what was up.  sometimes its better that way.. He'll end up talking to you matter what.  Jsut give him the space and time to cool off and then really see him for him not what was.  Maybe he was just doing it for something else who knows. Best of luck to you.

Even if you still have feelings for him sometimes it's best to just let go.  Me and my gf mutually broke up back in May...and decided to be friends...well that was fine until she started dating someone else almost right away (after we were together for 2.5 years) so I got pissed and stopped talking to her.  It was hard cause I still cared for her at the time but not TALKING or SEEING her since then has really helped me to get over the whole thing and move on.\n\nin summary......Stop talking to him, but don't become enemies...be civil about it.

hmm, tough one.\n\nI don't know the situation that you and him had that made you to break up.  But I'm guessing that he might have broke up with you.  Does not really matter much either way cause the end result is the same.... you two are not together.\n\nI think though that you did not have closure over the breakup and that you have feelings for him.\n\nWell, we see that he has moved on and that he has someone else now.  You feeling jealous seems to me that you still want to be with him.\n\nThink hard to yourself, why you two broke up?  Cause if you caught him cheating or the love wasn't really there after sometime....  Then getting back together MIGHT not work.  I'm guessing that you did not have a messy breakup since you guys are still friends.\n\nYou might be trying to hold on to memories of the good old times and think that maybe if you got back together you will have that again.  Trust me, it will never be exactly the same.  And actually its a proven fact that the human mind remembers things with an amplified emotion... that is you remember this great place when you grew up but visiting back later, you notice its not the same.  Cause your expectations are going to be set really really high.  And when it does not happen the way you remember you'll be really devistated.\n\nIf I were you....  I would tell him about your feelings if you trully want to get back together with him.  Cause this is a choice you both have to agree on, not just you.  But if you don't want, then I would say cut all ties from him.\n\nGood luck!

His feelings are hurt.  He probably still likes you and realizes he made a mistake breaking up with you.  Give him some time.

Your first mistake was saying yes. End it now. The longer you go, the more he's going to be hurt when time comes. Tell him it's a little akward being with him so youd like to go back to being friends. If he really likes you then he would rather keep you as a friend then lose you all together. it will be akward after the break up for a little while, but just keep seeing him and talking to him, then the akwardness will go away, and everything wil be back to normal the way you liked it before.\nGood luck
