We have not been alone together in over two months other than school. I have tried to make plans with her time and time again but she keeps saying "Sorry, I'm hanging out with *insert random friend here*". I have very strong feelings for her and I don't want to break up with her, but I feel I should. I would really like to remain friends with her and I don't know what to say. Does it sound like I should break up with her? How do I do it? Can I remain friends with her? If there is anything else to add, feel free. Reply to this Question Share |

1. only you can decide if you should break up with her, but if she's not wanting to meet up with you, then you probably should end it.
2. basically you tell her "it's not working out any more and it's time for us to move on" she may give you a hard time but it sounds like she will be ok with it, if you keep calling and asking to see her and she won't see you, it's over. If you didn't go to school you would have no contact with her... sounds like it is already over.
3.NO you can't be friends. It never works. you can be FRIENDLY but not friends.

If you haven't been alone in 2 months, you have already broken up. Breaking up at any age is never easy. Break up with her but try to support her, call her, send her a card, let her know if she needs to talk to someone, you will be there for her. But after 2 months, it's over...
