Question - (24 July 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 24 July 2010)
A male United States age 30-35, *megahero09 writes:

So I dated this girl for about 2 weeks after meeting her at a bad party. We hung out quite a lot since then, pressured by people here and there to go out, since we both needed a good girl/guy in our lives.

I made a couple mistakes, intimacy oriented, and we broke up. In the process, she pointed out plenty of things about myself I had turned a blind eye to, and told me to go grow up hahaha.

Well at the end of the day I still have feelings for her. She wants to be my friend and still thinks I'm a great guy... After another talk when I told her how I still felt and how I hated what I did, and so on, she said she wanted to be single- as going into college is scary and she doesn't want anymore drama etc.

There are still a couple of things between us that will get ironed out.

My question however is this. Regardless of what's between us, how likely is it that we could date again in the future? Can wounds and confusion stains heal through a friendship?

A female reader, anonymous, writes (24 July 2010):

contact her, 1st port of call by the sound of it is to "iron out" ur issues. sometimes when guys do things like you did, makes the girl feel insuperior to the person you messed about with, hence making this girl back off.

She probably thought

"oh well, hes found someone else, if she was worth fooling around with, then he cant think much about me, so hes not really worth it"

thats what i would think. and despite likeing you, she would back off like she has.

Maybe a short message saying basically , you didnt know what you wanted at that time, which is why you did what you did, but realised after that , that you dont want that lifestyle and would like to remain close wether friends or more. then the balls in her court.

the worst she can say is no, then you move on and learn from your mistake.

if she goes along with it , then bonus , happy days!

bite the bullet.
