    What's a sweet way to break up with someone?
    Ok so I'm dating this guy, he's my ex-boyfriends, best friend. There's just one problem, I'm still in love with my ex, and last night he told me he still loves me and misses me :/ I don't know what to do because I do care about my new boyfriend, I just don't LOVE him... HELP!!

    You just tell him in the most honest/polite way you can. You don't know how he might react. Have a walk and talk to him, ask him how his day is, and then lean in to talking how you feel. Tell him that you car about him a lot but that you're still in love with someone else.

    It would be worse if you went through the relationship not having any feelings for him and lying about it. The best thing to do is be honest. Yes, he'll be hurt. What breakup doesn't end in a little heartbreak? Don't be direct/blunt. You just have to sit him down and tell him how you feel. I hope everything works out, okay.

    If I had a dollar for every guy who told me that, I could retire to an island in the Pacific. That's just manipulation. Don't fall for it.

    When you tell him, be straightforward and businesslike and don't keep going back to him. Make a clean break. That is the kindest way to do it.

    Well thanks guys, it means a lot that you guys took the time to reply to this, I appreciate it (:

    Going on a kinda date with my ex?

    So if you read my last post you would know that I'm dating my exs best friend (garrison) yet I still love my ex (patrick). Well... theirs a big fair coming up and patrick asked me if I would go with him, would this be considered a date?

    Sounds like a good question for Patrick.

    I think you need to ask Patrick this...
    But if it is; be sure you close ties on Garrison, it's not fair on him.

    If I ask a good friend to go with me, it is two friends going to do something, if I want a date I ask someone out I want to date, only he knows why he asked,

    But you need to know, do you want to date or not, if not a date, make it clear before you go

    Garrison will think it's a date whether it is or not. Deal with him first, then see what happens. Kind of a cruel way to do things though, among best friends.

    Is it too much to ask?
    Well I've been off and on with this guy for the past few months, well my absolute worst enemy>:( kasey, is his ex girlfriend.. the two of them stopped talking to each other but as soon as me and him get together and she finds out she's talks to him again and tells him how she misses him and how she wants him back (she does this with literally EVERY guy I date) it was causing some major fights between me and him so I told him that if he wanted me and him to work out and stop the fighting he needed to stop talking to her and give her up, is this too much to ask?

    Maybe not for a 16 year old, but its better that he handle his business, and you don't fight over the competition from an enemy or friend. Or else you find yourself OFF again, before you can get back ON!
