Ex wants to be friends, I want more…

She wants to be friends, however I want more. I think she does too but is playing games. Should I be her friend and perhaps in time we get back together or I get hurt again. Or should I just tell her I like more then a friend and it would be better if we just stopped talking and went our own ways… Maybe she’ll miss me and come back or if she doesn’t then its w/e

best thing to do is tell her you want to try again, and you can make it work this time. If she says no walk away. its the only way. hope this helps

I think she’s playing you. Did you cheat on her or give her a reason to want to get you back for anything? Why did you two break up?

We broke up because I didn’t open up/express my love the way she wanted me too when she wanted it. She ended up going back with her ex, he cheated on her again, and broke up with her. She apologized to me and now is like I only want friends at the moment….

She’s just hurt and needs some time to get over everything. Give her some time.

What should I say to her, she is going to say just friends. I know she doesn’t just want friends because who will argue for someone to just be friends? (long story)

something like…
You know my feeling for you and that I can not be “just friends”. I will be waiting for another chance the whole time and do not want to take the chance of being let down and hurt again….

let down easier so they don’t feel so bad
lonely

etc.

Im just going to say no

sometimes you have to let those you love go.
If they come back then you know.

My girlfriend just broke up with me 3 days ago and says that she still loves me as a person, but not as a boyfriend. she says that she wants us to be good friends. we hung out yesterday, and we both had a really good time. there were a few times that we were kind of close, and i could feel that she wanted to kiss me ( as i did too, and he told me after that she did), we hugged alot. but still she wants to just be friends. i dont know what to do either. it sucks
