Question - (14 April 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 14 April 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My and my ex's relationship ended on good terms. I was just too shy and he felt we acted like friends. Me and my ex are really close, we're best friends coz we can tell each other everything even if its embarrassing. We even sometimes have a little bit of flirting going on, but thats sometimes hard for me. I still have feelings for him and i told him. He's confused 1 min he has feelings, the next he onli sees me as a friend. He said he doesn't know why he's confused because he cares about me so much he's overprotective over me and like me better then most girls so he should have them feelings for me.

This is killing me.I wanna be with him so much, but i understand if he doesn't want me. My feelings are so strong i've never felt for any1 like this ever he knows this.I don't know if we can truly be friends with my feelings, i don't want them to get in the way, but i no dey do wen i think about us he feels bad wen im upset about this. He says he feels terrible like he's breaking my heart, even though its true i dnt want him to feel bad he means so much to me. Its hard coz we talk every day i hav tried not talkin to him as much but i feel upset not talkin to him. He said he has love for me. Can anyone tell me what they mean when they say this.I fink he means the friend way. Thanks for taking your time to read this advice much appreciated. x

cls1990 agony auntone of my best friends is a guy who i was seeing for a few weeks, but i think its because we never had sex & didnt become too emotionally involved in that way.

i have 2 ex's that i cared for a lot and we no longer speak, i used to speak to 1 of them but he always referred to the time we were together & made me feel uncomfortable so i just cut off all contact.

i think in certain circumstances you can, but if theres too much water under the bridge & you still have feelings for him & he doesnt know how he feels then it could all end in tears.

hope this helps

Jmo agony auntDate other guys casually, he'll obviously figure out his feelings then. If it doesn't work out with him, at least you'll have some plans for the weekend (and maybe more).
