Hello again Fantasy Foo, I've been were your at, and it's not a good feeling. One good thing about life is....Time heals everything. I was once told: If you love something let it go, if it comes back it's yours...if it don't it never was. If you have the fellas number or you know how to get in contact with him...let him know how you feel, but don't hate on his girl...thats tacky.

It doesn't sound like there is much of friendship there.  He probably feels guilty that you wacked out the way you did.  Have you tried giving it time to get over him?  I'm sorry that you had to go to such lengths to get his attention.  I feel sorry for him and for you.  I hope you have learned that no man is worth your life and I hope you realize how lucky you are to be alive today.  Give it time and get into group or one on one therapy or both.  You may feel his is your soul mate but; don't you think that if he was your soul mate, things would not have gone the way did.  If you were truly meant to be, you would be but; your not.  What does that tell you?

If he was truly your friend, he would have already forgiven you.\n\nsend him a note telling him how you feel, and ask him to respond. If he doesn't...well perhaps you should move on.

You need to let him down lightly. Don't lead him on anymore than you already have. Just gently tell him that you love him, but only as a friend. Don't do it over the phone or through e-mail. It has to be done straight to him. After you break up, then continue, or at least try to continue, being his friend and being there for him. He probably will be hurt, and I understand that's something that will be hard to deal with. Just tell him you still love him, just not in that way.

You could just say that you think the relationship is not getting anywhere and that you feel that you need to move on and see other people because there are more fish in the sea.And maybe you guys could just be friends.If he takes it too hard then just try to fall back on the memories you used to have and give him a memorie book of the good times. If he throws it away then you tried.

Time will heal any emotional attachments you had to him. Feel free to move on with your life at any time now...

Look, just because you and him didn't work out as a couple, doesn't mean that you can't just be friends. Me and my ex of 13 years just went out to the movies together today to see "Silent Hill", I paid, he drove. We hadn't hung out for 3 years! I gotta tell you though, we had a blast just hanging out and being friends. I bought lunch after at "Jack-n-the-Box", and he came over to my house to eat it. It was the first time he had ever come to see where I lived since we separated. We have a daughter together, and for her sake, we discussed it, and came to the conclusion that, even though we parted on bad terms, we could set that aside and be friends. She was very happy to know we were being nice to each other. I would never have an intimate relationship with him again, but as a friend, he is a very good guy and a wonderful daddy. Do what your heart tells you. You know in your gut whether or not it would be a good idea to hang out with him again. Just remember that ex'es are ex'es for a reason...it didn't work out. Friendships are always nice to have though if at all possible. Good luck sweetie.

well first of all u need to be honest with him. tell him that ur friendship means a lot and u do not wish to ruin it or put him in a compromiseing situation but u have to let him know how u feel and ask how he feels, assure him that u'll respect his decission and if things work out in ur favour work to make it last and if it don't move on be happy for him and try to find ur own happiness.\nhope u get what ur heart desires

Assuming he has yours (or knows how to contact you), I'd wait until he calls you. If he doesnt, then accept that his life has moved on so far, that he's not interested in furthering the friendship anymore. \n\nIf you were close friends, one would imagine he'd have your number on his cellphone or at least knows your address or last name, to be able to write to you instead? \n\nLeave the ball in his court...its often harder on the person left behind than the one who is venturing to new fields, as they are still holding on and have no new memories yet to fill the gap. \n\nIf he misses you he'll find a way but remember that  he probably knew for quite a while that he was leaving and so prepared himself for that loss ages ago. If he's never coming back (and knows you wont be moving there)....he might not feel that there is a good reason to continue the friendship now?

Unfortunately it is. I remember loving a friend immensely (probably more than I did myself). He never returned my feelings and that unreciprocated affinity was extremely painful and incredibly difficult for me to bear. I'd never loved anyone as much as I did him but he simply never returned my feelings for him. There was really nothing I could do about it, except cut our ties and create a healthy distance. Even a friendship would have been too hard for me to bear.\n\nMaybe you should interpret this "friend"'s behavior as a sign that he doesn't feel for you the same emotions that you do for him. Let him go. You deserve someone who loves you equally :)

Move on with your life. Put him in your past and keep him there.

no you need to move on and if something happens in the future like he comes back and both of you want to still be together then that is fine but both of you r going to go through a transition and u will both most likely change with him being in a different city with different friends, activities, and etc.

You cant, the only thing you can do is move on from it. If you really love someone, you will always love them no matter what.

If he was really into you and really wanted to be with you he would.  But maybe he felt that way about you and you blew it.  Sometimes we don't know what we have until it is gone.  That sucks.  He does need to stop jerking your heart around though because you will never move on if he keeps stringing you along.  NOT FAIR.  Either he wants to be with you or he doesn't.  Don't play games.  If you have children you are too old to be playing games!!!!   Tell him honestly one more time how you feel but this is the last time and then you are moving on.  And MEAN it.  If he decides to stay with the new one tell him that you will no longer discuss his feelings for you.  Don't let him jerk your emotions around.

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.

No, don't start something that can't last. If you think it can last after you move then give it a try. I think the guy needs to tell your friend that he has feelings for you. If your relationship will ruin your friendship with your friend then don't do it.
