writes: Hi, My boyfriend broke up with me two and a half months ago. He basically said the bad started to outweigh the good. For the first month I kept asking him to rethink things but no luck. Then I completely backed off.Now he's travelling for work for a few months. A couple weeks into his departure he started contacting me. Now we talk, email or text regularly (almost daily) but we never talk about us. We laugh, we joke, it's as if we're together but we're not.Does it sound like we're getting back together or is this just friendship? How can a girl tell the difference? I need help from the guys out there, please!

He's enjoying you like he did before you got together and started having problems. Sometimes when we get into relationships we forget to keep being our partners friend and we get comfortable. It's a good sign though because you guys are re-establishing your friendship. If you keep things fun he might see the things in you that attracted him to you in the first place. Don't push the relationship because he ended it, it will most likely make him uncomfortable. Let him see the "new" and improved you. Be confident and better the things about yourself that may have contributed to the break. You two are not together right now but anything is possible. He may re-think things and have a change of heart or maybe decide to move on. Don't stop living your life and don't wait for him. Who knows you guys may benefit from each other better as friends. Sometimes we get along better with ex's after the relationship ends because you just don't mesh well as bf/gf. Give it time and don't force anything let nature take it's course. If it's meant to be it will be. Hope my advice helps you. God Bless... Prophet7
Ps. If you guys get back together make sure that you guys communicate and resolve your past problems. Remember one thing, you would not want to be around a friend who you fight with a lot. Bf/gf relationships are no different, you must keep your friendship alive in order for your relationship to work.
