How do I become friends again with my ex who was my best friend before we started dating?
This is very hard. If you can get past her dating someone else more power to you. I couldn't do it. We were so close she had told me about just about raping a guy to try and get love from him, and this is two guys she told me about. So I couldn't do it. I've had nothing but love for her but my table is starting to turn with the disrespect from her, so I am happy to hear you are a better man than me! I am closer to spitting out dirty Laundry than I am to being her friend at this moment. Lots for you to think about and good luck!
Should I become friends again with my ex-friend?
If your friend seems worth it, then go for it! But if your friend isn’t up to it or seems distant, you might want to reconsider. Ask yourself: what did we have in common before, when we were friends? Were we super close? If you feel like your friend and yourself have lots in common, could still make close connections with each other, then great! If you and your friend doesn’t have much to say and you both seem different, maybe take a break from your friendship for a while. Who knows, maybe after a while they’ll turn around and you can continue with your friendship again. Good luck!
Ex girlfriend setting me up with friend again help?
Now as I"ve posted before, this ex girlfriend whom I've tried time and again to get out of my head, has come from out of nowhere and once again is trying to set me up with her friend. Now she has tried this before, two years ago before me and my ex eventually started dating, leading to my downfall afterwards. Back then I told her I wasnt interested in her friend because I was more interested in her (My ex). Since our fallout, we had tried to re establish our friendship, but I decided to cut her off from my circle, due to emotional stress. After a while my ex got herself a new man, had bought a house with him, and is ready to move in together. Yet I still thought of her, foolishly. Fast forward to months now, and she finds a way to communicate with me, and tells me that same friend of hers from that time two years back, wants to get to know me and possibly hook up. Its been two years since our initial break up, but like i said before, I still thought of her, couldnt let her go despite my desicion to cut her loose as her friend. Now she pops back up again and wants me to meet her friend, again. Her friend had sent me a friend request on facebook, and I accepted. She is in my opinion, far more attractive than my ex I got to say. But I'm not sure if she knows anything about me and my ex gf's past relationship. Should I give this new friend a chance, and risk possibly seeing my ex from time to time? Should I also try yet again to re-establish my friendship with my ex, risking possible emotional stress, in the event me and her friend do get together? As I've said, its been two years, Letting go of my ex has been hard and emotional, especially since she's moved on for the best. Now it seems she wants to help me out by bringing her friend and me together. Honestly, I am scared, but also optimistic about a new opportunity. What advice should I take? Should I try her friend out, or should I move along? I need serious answers only. Thank You
Why do ex girlfriends want to become friends when they are ignored?
It's an opening to get back in contact. Women often break up as a test, to see if you'll freak out and start crying and acting like--what I've heard many twenty-something women refer to as, "a man-bitch. However, if you don't, it sends a signal that you're independent and didn't need them maybe as much as they thought you did. Too many guys these days are truly embarrassing. They cry and generally act like girls when relationships start to fall apart, and that's a huge turnoff. You on the other hand, sound like you know exactly how to respond to these situations. You ignore them. They want to split up? Fine by you, you'll move on with your life. That's the way to be. Not falling apart, not living in the past, just moving on. And for that reason, they reach back out to you, and want to hang out. So clearly, you are doing it right. Kudo's dude!
How do I get back with my ex after becoming friends again and realizing my mistake?
Telling yourself that you should do anything for the purpose of benefiting someone else doesn't cut any ice with me.Seems like you pity her and pity doesn't make a great foundation for genuine affection: I know, I've tried this relationship dummy run, it doesn't work.So I'm convinced she deserves better than a guy who got bored with her and dumped her because he had more interesting appointments with video games, other women or maybe physics study.You're on the periphery of her life now. She needs to learn how to identify men who genuinely care for her.So you suggesting an attempt at re-starting a relationship that went wrong because you simply didn't find her sufficiently interesting is, in my experience, only going to demonstrate again to both of you why breaking up the first time was a good thing.People don't change much: you're still going to have that attitude that tells you she's boring to you, she's still going to be that boring woman.Maybe you are a better person than you were and maybe you value her more now, but it doesn't seem from your words that you are motivated by respect, desire and affection: it's pity for her, self criticism and the should and deserves words.I wouldn't want a relationship on those terms with anyone.I recommend you both get on with leading separate lives.
My ex boyfriend wants to be friends again?
In January of 2010, I started dating this guy in my grade. By the time we broke up, I fell in love with him. We broke up in May of 2010. This really left me heartbroken. After months of working my way on getting over him, he decides that he's interested in me again; we begin dating only a few days later (being as stupid as I am for a guy). We lost contact in September of 2010. A few days ago, he accidentally calls me. I really was freaking out about this, because he was my first love. All these questions were running through my head! He tells me that he never deleted me from his contacts and he still wants to be my friend again. He also said that he doesn't want anything awkward in between us, but hopes we can still be friends. So, he tells me that he'll text me later on, but he never does! So now i'm like blaaahhh I don't know what I want to do and everything! So.. 1) Do you think it's okay to JUST be friends with your ex boyfriend? 2) What should I do about him never texting me back?
Ex-Girlfriend seems hell-bent on being my friend?
I have been in the same situation before. When you have been with someone and really care about them its pretty hard to just be friends. Its got to be really hard on you. I would just straight up tell her that you have cared for her and now she just wants to be friends, but it would be too hard on you to deal with that... at least for the time being. You need time to heal and move on without her being in the way.
How to get back ex-girlfriend if already in "Best Friend" zone?
Okay, here's some info, I'm just wondering what to do next. Broke up with my girlfriend of 2 Years, a few months later I realized what a mistake this was and wanted to get back together with her. We're best friends at the moment, have been ever since the breakup and even before we were dating, she trusts me with a lot of her life's problems, but I feel like I'm becoming an Agony Aunt friend rather than any potential love interest. To make matters worse, she recently told me all about this other guy she likes, he's a bit older than me, but the problem is that he lives Hundreds of Miles away, whereas I live not too far away at all. I know a lot of you at the moment are probably thinking "Well, just tell her how you feel man!" Well, problem here is that I've already tried that, on a few occasions. First time, she told me she wasn't sure how she felt, and needed more time. And after a lot of hanging out and having fun in the months to come, it did seem like we were going to get back together. Then that kinda just stopped. So, a few months after that, I asked her about it, and told her I still felt the same way about her, to which she then told me she just wanted us to be friends (The usual 'Just friends' talk), but said I was still her best friend. It's been about half a year/8-9 months since then.... Now with this new guy around that she likes, I have a few options. 1. Stay with her, strengthen our friendship and see if it'll eventually turn into something more. (Has this ever worked?) 2. Get out of the Friend Zone, start dating other girls and not being so much of a best friend to this girl, only then will she see you as a love interest again. (I've been told this one a few times...) 3. Tell her how I feel once again, let her know that I love her. (Can't see her reacting any differently than last time at the moment...although it's been a while.) Thanks for any advise/help.
