A male age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Alright so, my gf has recently dumped me because she thought she was never there for me.

Even though we didn't see eachother as much as we wanted to due to homework, sports, family, etc. I still think we had a great relationship..

I asked if we could get back together but she insisted that we didn't. She still admits that she misses me and wants to hangout. I don't want to just be friends with her though.. What should I do?

Honeypie agony auntShe wants a guy who can spend more time and attention, for now, that just isn't you.

If you want more then friendship and she doesn't, there isn't much you can do. If being friends hurt to much, let her go. Move on.

Sometimes timing really just plain SUCK!

If you are likely to find it painful being just friends, then say so and move on.

Duckyhelp agony auntIf she wants nothing more than friendship then you shouldnt go. Ive done this in the past. very close after breaking up, and all i did was end up begging for him back, and that pushes them away more.

I say, if you want even the slightest chance of getting back with her you need to give her space to miss you. but do explain that you cant hangout due to the fact you would be hurt as you want more than to just be her friend.

As it is very hard to be friends after you break up with someone. expecially so soon after the break up.

I say, dont say yes, and dont talk to her for a bit, if she misses you and wants you back in this period of time - good. If not, its time to move on, possibly cut all contact in order to get over her.
