I wish it were as simple as that - move on and give up. It is so difficult to let go. I think I'm stuck with a big pile of baggage. :(

Now I know why people don't meet up with their exes, it's...

I think it is all of the above. I just recently had an encounter with my ex which sounds similar to your situation. Right after we broke up a year ago, I messaged him to see if we could get back...

You don't need to justify yourself to her.

I guess you don't want her to be able to say that you started being mean after the end of the relationship.

Now that you've answered all of her...

I'm confused about how he's taking good care of you, but not being affectionate.

If you simply said that he wasn't being affectionate or taking care of you, I'd say to get out of there as fast as...

I think everyone has to go through situations and find out first hand. If I had let him go without meeting up, I might have always wondered about what he wanted to say. Now I know what he wanted to...

I agree with the above, there are many people out there that you can be happy with. The key thing is whether you are willing to put the work in there to keep the relationship going.

The thing...

Are you having trouble dealing with it or is it her?

If it bothers you, let her go (break up with her).

If it bothers her, try to help her get over it...

So, after meeting up with him, I am more confused than ever. I guess this is the reason why people don't meet up with their exes, or at least on this board people tend to discourage it.

I wasn't...

Ask him about it.

Open communication is the best relationship.

You guys should be able to communicate well by now.

I guess that makes sense. I'm not sure what the conversion is for those measurements, but if you're concerned about her only because of health reasons, I'm sure she understands.

No. There is no way to force someone to like you back. The only thing you can do is to live your own life, do your own thing, and then if he decides that he likes you he'll take initiative and then...

Well, if your relationship can withstand the test of time, then you guys will likely get married in the future. I'm not so sure about the parts regarding the kids. Nevertheless, if you guys withstand...

Seems like you hurt her pretty badly. When someone breaks up with another person, the person who was broken up with will feel sad for a very long time. I bet she's questioning whether she can trust...

Just be friends with her. Don't mention or insinuate that you have feelings for her, want to go out on a date with her, be alone with her, etc. It will creep her out and she will go running.

Just...

Yes, it seems like she is ready to move on. If she was committed to you or making the relationship work, she would.

Now it looks like it is best if you are able to let her go and do your own...

I think a lot of people break up when they go off to college. Not sure if it is because of the same reason as yours, but if you give this as a reason, it's a pretty legitimate one. Makes a lot more...

Yes. Ask your brother what he thinks first. If he doesn't mind, just ask her out on a date. I also think you are probably pretty young. Love doesn't develop until later on through being cared for,...

Flirt with a girl? Spend time with her, laugh at her jokes, ask questions, pay special attention to her, stand close to her, etc. The questions you ask should come naturally. I feel that if a guy...

I'm not sure. I suppose it is because he was the first boyfriend that I really liked, and perhaps loved. The relationship was very meaningful to me. He never gave me any reasons he felt the need to...

Lol. Talaniman's response is funny.

However, the beginning of the second paragraph seems pretty accurate to me. That's why I seek advice from Talaniman too.

I think that he doesn't like you the same way. He doesn't want you to get the impression that he likes you back... since he probably doesn't unfortunately.

Okay, so this is about my ex. Since this post is about my ex, it might give everyone perspective on my question.

I like to make new posts because then the title would be a more accurate...

I agree with all of the comments on here. You basically need to give him some space, don't email him until he emails you first. I think he's probably just thinking about what your response. If he...

I agree with Talaniman. Just act like she's any other coworker and you'll be fine. If you somehow transmit the feeling to her that you still want to be with her, it creeps girls out and she make just...

Hi justcurious55, I am also glad that he has stopped sending me emails and texts.

He doesn't say anything to me at the meetings. I try not to look at him or talk to him. However, when I am...

If anyone else is wondering about this same issue... just tell the person who is harassing you to stop bothering you, and they should follow your orders. After I told him to stop bothering me, I...

There will never be closure.

Find something else to do.

Move on and don't bother with him.

It is better to find someone else.

Leave her alone, otherwise she might start to hate you.

Unfortunately, I broke down and sent a message saying "Stop bothering me, I will not answer you again."

It does make me feel a lot better now that I have blocked him on AIM as well as the other...

Thank you for your advice. I will try to withstand sending a response even though every cell in my body is screaming out to defend myself against the false accusations. I don't want him to say that...

Do you guys think I should defend myself against his false accusations via a response?

Do you think he is doing this just to get attention? I am suspecting it to be true. I'm not sure whether to respond back or not to his accusations. If I respond back, then I am unknowingly...

No. Don't do it.

You shouldn't try for someone who is already taken. It creates unnecessary problems for the both of you.

How do you tell someone that their feelings are their own business and no one else is responsible for them? Or... how do you tell them that they shouldn't be over thinking about other people and they...

I don't want to deal with this kind of situation. I would very much enjoy it if he would just leave me alone and not contact me. It's fine if he attends the same functions as I do as long as he does...

Delete it and break up with him.

He's been attending the same catechism class as I do, even though he was not a professed Catholic before. He's also been attending masses. He hasn't been talking to me while we're there. And, when he...

I agree with you. There is no reason to give him additional pain by letting him know that you have found someone else. Perhaps sit down and let him know what you feel.

May be just tell him...

It sounds like she wants to get out of the relationship. You should break up with her if things have been bad for a while and the outlook is bleak. If she's not willing to work things out with you,...

That is a weird situation. I think you should break up with him. There's no reason for him to sleep on the couch unless there is not enough room for the both of you on the bed.

It sounds like you may be just settling with Adam. It could be best for you to break up with him so that the both of you could find someone that you would be happier with. It sounds like you're...

He's started to attend some of the activities that I enjoy outside of school. I am really pissed every time that I see him at the club events, but I don't say anything to him about how creepy I find...

I think you should dump him if he is not taking you seriously or taking into account your needs. He should at least address the problem.

It sounds like he's interested in the girl if he's not...

Okay, so this is about a person that I've never spoken about before on the help desk. This person's name is Jake. First off, I met him during a school club event and we would chat on AIM. However, he...

It's not about a missed text message. It was about not returning my call.

I feel that whenever a girl or a guy is finished with a relationship, they often do not pick up the other person's call...

We have been dating for about three months now. I thought that we were getting along fine. Yet, I don't feel like he's taking care of the relationship if he doesn't pick up my call or at least...

So I called up my boyfriend yesterday, but he didn't answer his phone so I left him a message. I was waiting for him to return my call, but he hasn't called me back. I'm wondering what is wrong. We...

It sounds like a relationship where people could only be borderline satisfied in the relationship. However, to truly completely enjoy the relationship, it is better to find someone who one can...

Okay, I also have another question. I'm sorry to say that it is related to FB again. I believe that the reason why I posted my first question was really because of this next described situation.
