writes: Ok. So me and my ex split up a year ago. Of course, when we broke up I decided for me and him not to speak to each other in order for us to move on etc. However, he couldn't handle it very well and kept saying to me that he can't let me go because he cares about me too much. So yeh, we decided to remain friends.Lifes gone on and I think I'm fully over him. We both get on really well and I consider him to be a good friend. However, the problem is he sometimes flirts with me although he claims he had a girlfriend. I've never seen her before though. But I always tell him to stop because he shouldn't act like that with me especially when he is in a relationship.He contacts me a lot. However, when I don't contact him back he gets very angry and upset. He thinks I don't care and he dislikes my "I can't be bothered" attitude. He's not used to be caring less because when we were in a relationship I'd be the more caring one. SLast night he called me and he was very flirtatcioys although I didn't say anything. We were talking about random stuff, but then he asked me a question. He asked me if a person can love two people at the same time. Of course, I thought this question was random as it didn't fit into anything we were talking about. Before he asked me that question he said that when he was with his girlfriend during the day, he was thinking of me and he missed me so much. I'm not too sure what to think. Does he still have feelings for me????

reader, anonymous, writes (2 August 2011): It sure sounds as if he does. You've moved on, he hasn't to some extent; I don't think friendship alone will ever be enough for him, and to be honest it probably would've been better to stick to your first decision of cutting ties completely. Being in close contact with you seems to be a hindrance to his ability to move on from your relationship. For both your sakes (because as long as he's hanging on to you emotionally, you're being held back too in a way), perhaps you should try to put some distance between yourselves - for now, at least. He needs time alone to truly get over you, and sometimes you really do have to be cruel to be kind. Good luck and take care x
