is it ok to hang out with your girlfriend after she dumps you?

Okay, here it is: You and your girlfriend got to be close to each other while you were together, I'm sure you know a lot more about her now than most people and she knows much about you. You had fun with her and you enjoy her company. If so, then yes, by all means, stay friends with her. If you don't enjoy her company and actually dislike her, then no, avoid her but still be nice to her. Just figure out her as a friend, not just as an ex.

if she's seeing someone else she probably doesn't feel the same way you do. And think about it do you really want someone back thats willing to dump you and be dating someone else right away??

Do nothing.  Even if she dumps the bf, you'd be a rebound.  Just keep your distance, be a friend, but don't push anything.  And if she dumps him and suddenly wants you, don't give in.  You'd be rebound man.  Give it time.  If she actually likes you it will work itself out.  Otherwise, I suggest you keep your options open.

first things first you will definately be hurting her no matter how you dump her....the qsn should be how do i dump her gently so as to reduce the amount of hurt.\n\nfirst of all, dont delay it tooo long, choose a suitable location like her house so that after breaking the news she does not have to walk out in the street crying but can lie on her bed and cry.  tell her the relationsip is not working and dont give too many details esp. if their is another girl involved dont tell her this trust me she does not want to know. tell her you would still like to be friends coz you like her as a person. \n\nall the best dude, breakups are never easy.

You should be honest just like you are in your letter.  You are absolutely right in the fact the she will be hurt but it is in the way that the break up is done that determines on a certain level the impact that it could leave for her future.  First of all do not kiss her or show romantic feelings before breaking up because it only confuses the person.  Eventhough your intentions would be to make her feel better you can not take care of the person since you need to distant yourself.  Be gentle, be caring but with your words and your face but after it is done be respectful and dont give her false impressions or false hope.  Last but not least try to stay away from situations where you could come face to face with her so that she does not feel like you are partying and celebrating your new found freedom.  Go through a period of mourning yourself that way everybody will have time to heal from a separation.  You seem like a good guy so I am sure that you will do the right thing, just be nice and try to understand what she is going through she is being dumped and no one likes but also no one dies from it and it can be a growing experience for everyone if it is well done.  Good luck my friend and continue having a kind heart because its nice to know that even the dumper can feel alot of pain

no, if you just broke up she should maybe give you some time. If she talks to you everday, it will seem like before. So at first it's probably not a good idea. But if its been a while then its fine if it doesn't bother you.

Yeah it can. I broke up with my ex a couple of years ago - it was a mutual break-up but we remained as best friends. Sometimes when I hang out with her, I feel that same old feeling again - like a spark in my life that I felt when I first dated her... but I'm not taking that step though.\n\nYou can regain that feeling, but to get back together - that's another question...

you have to let her have space...she's involved with someone else. If/when they break up, you are free to go after her!

very wrong the relationship is over so move on.  If the tables were turned and she dumped him she would not want the same thing to happen to her

It depends on how your ex-relationship ended. If you broke up with her it depends on how you feel about the person you're with. If she broke up with you then don't, you have to keep your dignity. She broke up with you and you have moved on with somebody new.

Haha, good question. I did that for quite a while with an exgirlfriend. It was awkward sometimes, but it was worth it at the end of the day. I think bottom line, if you still have the benefits she is still into you anyway. Pretend like you are dating, not in a relationship. That way you shouldnt get jealous and you should be in a situation that will leave things less likely to become awkward. If there are no benefits left and you feel like she is trying to make things awkward then move on and find new people to hang with, she is probably just trying to make you jealous in this case.

If she breaks up with you again, let her go, you aren't a yo yo and deserve to be treated better(it hurts,I know when it happens, but you can't keep doing it, each time it happens, you lose some of the way you use to feel, and one day, you might just become"jaded" to things around you, so its better to start clean, than to keep playing this "game" and it seems thats what it is.)

That will all depend on how the relationship was before it all happened. At times they feel lost if they are madly in love you and do not know what to do to keep you. when they dump someone they would actually feel relieved but for them being dumped is like being stabbed in the back.

why not? It's pretty important that the girlfriend be able to meet the other females so she knows who he is dealing with when it comes to him hanging out with that individual.  But if the girlfriend can approve of the female, then hell yea.. it's ok to have friends.

Your girlfriend might really have been a bisexual (even without realising herself). Bisexuals usually feel alienated in both the gay and straight communities, and some bisexuals will even identify as one or the other just to be accepted by their peers. Whether she was confused, or simply using you is yet unclear - only you know the answer to that.\n\nHer decision to dump you is NOTHING to do with being bisexual - its purely down to her. If she was lesbian, she might have ditched you for another female.\n\nIts perfectly okay to feel upset after a breakup - its a normal human reaction. However, going nuts and chronic depression would indicate that there is another problem.\n\nRebound feels like a "quick fix" to heartbreak, in the same way as alcohol feels like a "cure" for depression. In actual fact, neither of these help in the long term. Alcohol makes depression worse, and rebound makes your rejection feel worse.\n\nYou need to address your inner hurt through constructive means, whether its by seeing a counsellor/psychologist or through self-help guides.\n\nSeeking love as a means of comforting past hurt tends to be self-centred. The other person is there to soothe the "poor me". None of the love is genuine affection for the other person, but more of a craving for affection from the other person. Even if the hurt person appears to be the caring and initiating one, it is a game to lure the other person to oneself.

Yes. It is called dating. If the first date sucked, then yes it is appropriate. \n\nIt is appropriate to dump someone during the date too!\n\nWelcome to the dating world. At least the other person respected you enough not to lead you on.
