My ex said that he would still come to my graduation formal if I didn’t find another date.
I obviously want him to come, I haven’t seen him in a month but I kow its gonna be hard and he’d only be staying till after the dinner, what should I do? I know I’ll be sad when he leaves, and he doesnt really knowmany ppl there. I just feel like he feels he has to do this for me when I don’t expect him too. He said it isnt about him, its about me. I know that things won’t be the same I know but I still care for him endlessly. I’m stuck with what to do. Should I tell him not to come or do you think one last hurrah for old times sake won’t be such a bad thing for closure? I need opinions on what to do.

Where were you?

I personally would say “one last hurrah” ;P If you care for him endlessly, and he likes you too, then maybe you two should get back together :D. Of course though, i don’t know why you two broke up, so that suggestion is a little iffy huh? Lol, but anywayz, i say “One Last Hurrah!”
why not have him there? picture the night with and without him.
when you picture it with him make sure to see both good and bad scenarios.
then decide.
i don’t see why not.
as long as he shows interest.
He wants to only for me, he lives out of town thats why i haven’t seen him in awhile. We were together for 2 years and went through alot but he was going to be in town and didnt want to not come and be in town he didnt want to be an *******. It’s just we’ve never been friends and i don’t know how itll be and what to expect when things are different.. i want him to go 100% but i know he wont really want to be there
Me either and I reallly really want him to, he just doesnt know anybody but me really and I don;t wanna force it upon him. That may sound weird but I feel bad, I just figure if hes not having fun..i wont and everyone will leave with thier gfs and bfs and ill go home and sleep at my parents house and thatll make me saddd
NO NO NO…..Here’s the deal: if you are spending the whole time pining for him, wishing he Was yours, and he is spending the whole time just thinking youre friends it will SUck….
If you can tell him you still care before, and he does too…thats diff…otherwise wont it be like a dream, cinderella at the ball, until the end…when he drops you at the door and gives an awkward hug or handshake and then you turn into a pumpkin? not to be negative - but i think you’d be better off taking a friend…it would probably make you sadder….believe me i’ve kind of been ther e- and its HORrible to be in front of someone you love when they are casual…..If you can do it and take it for what it is and not be said, go for it….youre more mature than I!!!
He does still care about me I know that but he broke things off and was ready to move on and ive been doing well but i’m not totally there yet yet I guess, thats just how i feel that we dont know how to be friends you know, he says he wants to be there for me but i dont want him to have a crap timeeee
well….I think it would make it harder for you to move on because it would be an environment that would look romantic, feel romantic….etc…if it were a football game or something else - but even then, if you’ve not moved on….I dunno…I think I’d pass until you KNOw you can be friends…why put yourself through that? wont it just set you back/get you to pining again?
I know and youre right, its just haven’t seen him in so long and it makes it harder I guess i kinda hoped that id be able to see him one last time, i was dissapointed cuz we had talked about all the plans when we were together and now that were not its kinda taken the fun out of itt…
Look - maybe I’m just negative. Follow your heart - do what you want to do girl. Its just (i’m old/er!) when I’ve done that it hasn’t turned out so great….mainly because no matter how much I said i ‘got it’ I still held out the hope that they would change their mind …took the compliments as a sign of hope, them grabbing my hand…all that stuff. Just don’t want you to set yourself up. If you can do it and see it for what it is - why not?
I tottally understand what your saying, itll only be harder down the roadd, well ill have to sleep on it, but keep the opionions cominggg, thanks soo much
I have an exam at 830 and its 130 here haha oh noooo
goood luck girl!!! yeah get some rest. and hey - dont spend TOO much energy on it…do what your heart says if you wanna….just wanted you to know when i did that it made me sad…..but maybe it’ll be diff for you. either way - be committed to having fun….its a friggin dance after all, you should have FUN!!!
I’ll let you know what I decide. :) Thanks again
You really brightened my day and made me remember to keep things in perspective amd live and enjoy lifee!
I wanted my ex to come to mine too 0__0
we were together for four years….he never cheated on me…and everytime we came off the phone after an argument…i jus wanted him 2 call..even if we were going to argue..i jus wanted him to be on the phone lol…if you think you can deal with a last hoorah….then do it…if you can’t…then be strong enough to not allow him to come….i still care for my ex a lot also…even though i have someone new….but i will never stop supporting my ex…who is a friend….
i think you should allow him to come…to prove to yourself that you are better than okay. i think you’ll be fine…don’t worry. Things will work out for you!
So he came, and I had the most amazing time ever!! Only problem is now, I don’t know where we stand..Everything was like the good old days, even better and he’s calledme every night and stuff. He’s head back home, thirteen hours away..but will be back in a couple weeks. How do I ask him what going on between us? Like what do I say, just stright up where do we stand?
