writes: Hello! Hoping you guys can help me figure out where to go from here. My ex and I broke up about a month and a half ago and it was quite rough for me at first but I'm really doing great now! I gave myself time to heal, initiated a little contact and things are going well. We've talked on the phone and conversation flows better than before and she's even agreed to stop by and hang out for a little bit when she passes through town this weekend...My question: Things are cool and comfy so far but I fear ending up in "the friend zone". I understand that it's a little necessary to create comfort between us but now how do I shake things up a bit so I'm not labeled the "ex turned bff"? I really think we should be together and would be good together as the causes of our breakup were her inability to deal with the stress she was under at the time and not great issues with our relationship. Those stresses are greatly lessened and I think if we gave it a shot it would be great! I just need to find a way to help facilitate that and not end up in the easy "friend zone". I know if it's not meant to be it just won't happen but I really want to give it a shot! Help me shake things up and give me some advice on how to encourage thoughts of a relationship beyond friendship! Thanks so much!
