Ex boyfriend broke up with me but wants to remain friends?

Question - (11 May 2010) 5 Answers - (Newest, 13 May 2010)
A female Canada age 36-40, *aetitia writes:

My ex bf of 3 months broke up with me saying that he felt that the relationship was getting too serious for him and that he wasn't ready. I deleted him from Facebook. Now he comes on my skype and wants to talk "as friends" on regular basis - he wants to keep the friendship going. I am not the one who starts the conversations with him. He initiates them. He asks about how my weekend was, how things are going with me....etc etc. From his conversations thought, I am very convinced that he only wants me as a friend. I am confused because I want him back, and every time we talk about the usual everyday bs, really drives me nuts and I have the urge to become hostile to him and tell him that "i have nothing to talk to you about, you're not in my life anymore. I am busy." but I don't know if I do that if I will ruin all chances of getting back.

Guys, why is he acting this way? What should a girl do?

Laura1318 agony auntHe has commitment problems and he wants to be your friend without any commitments. He enjoys your friendship but without any responsibilities.

It is like living in a timeless black hole in space. You are better off without him because he cannot promise you anything.

If you are looking for a committed relations, you will have to cut him off as he will be like a pest disturbing your tranquility.

He is like a stone hanging around your neck reminding you of your past relationship with him.

Cast him off if he is not the right material and do not waste any more time on useless ventures.

shania agony auntThis guy doesn't know whether to go for a shit or a hair cut?

You cut all links with him...no emails, no text messages no phone calls...he needs to go cold turkey over you.He dumped you, yet he wants to still be in contact....dont give him that luxury.The lack of contact from you will drive him crazy...he needs to miss you to realise he has made a big mistake in leaving you...he cant miss you if your talking to him on skype....But remember...even if he does want you back...would you still want him?

He's acting this way because he wants to remain friends. I don't think that's what you need in your life right now, since you need to move on. I think you would be best telling him that you need to get over him and not to contact you again. Then don't contact him, allow yourself plenty of time and move on from him.
