A male Ireland age 36-40, anonymous writes:

My ex boyfriend and I were going out for nearly 7 months. he broke up with me last week and we are on good terms. We've agreed to be 'friends'. And he still does talk to me

The reason he broke up was because he just wanted to be single. but he doesn't want to sleaze around with others.

the thing is I think we were in love. Because i've never cared for someone so much in all my life. What we have was great and when we broke up it wasn't dying out or anything it was perfect just up until he dumped me - Which was pretty out of the blue.

I've decided i'm going to give him space but what should I do to get him back? I've never felt this much for somebody and I don't want to lose him..

Boonridge McPhalify agony auntto be honest i find it hard to undersatnd how things could be perfect for you and he wants to break up shortly after. either you are not on the same wavelength OR he is a bit erratic and randomly changes his behaviour every so often. either way if someone did this to me and i got back together with them i would find it hard to trust them.

maybe he has a fear of commitment, or maybe he likes being with you now but thinks that ten years down the line he cant see a future. either way its harsh on you you.

talk to him and say you want to get back together and give him a chance. if he isn't interested and you then have to move on, the best bet is to avoid contact as you cannot move on from someone if you are in regular contact, it just prolongs how you feel...

best of luck

Lay your heart out to him about what you feel for him and what you want with him. Don't beg. Don't harass. Don't put your life on hold for him.

Go out with friends. Have fun. Date. Let him come to you. If he comes to you while you're free and single and still are in love with him, GREAT! If he comes a day late and an "I am in love with you and want to be with you" short, oh well, HIS LOST.
