Question - (28 March 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 28 March 2011)
A female United States age 26-29, *inAndYang writes:

Hey, I'm gonna just cut to the chase if that's alright. So here's the thing, I have this ex who misunderstood everything I had told him. When I was speaking to him on a social networking site before we ever were together, he had asked me if I liked him. I replied with a maybe I don't know you very well. He (of course) took it in a way that I had the hots for him, and he asked me out.

Since his ex-girlfriend dumped him, I had a rather large ammount of sympathy towards him, leading to the yes of his question to 'go out' with him. Okay, okay, I know. I was only dating him so he would feel better, okay? Sorry if this sounds awful, and I know it does, but I did.

So this created A LOT of drama by his ex (no surprise) cussing me out on Facebook, telling me she would like to watch me kill myself and it would be funny depending on which way I did it.

Anyway, I broke up with him, but he asked me if he wanted to go back out with him. I told him I didn't want a relationship at the moment, but HE took it as an 'I'll tell you when I'm ready thing'.

So there's my problem. Can you please help me tell him I'm no longer interested the nicest way possible?

Thanks xx

Sings_alot_chicky agony aunt1st of all I'm glad you figured out that it was wrong.

2ndly you shouldn't even care his ex if she dumped him!

3rdly just tell him how you feel, don't tell him you dated him but tell him that you see him more like a brother or a friend....that's how i feel towards all my exs their like a brother or a really close friend and they all know that. so just try to explain it to him.
