Ok so my ex boyfriend and i are still friends but apparently he doesnt understand the concept of friendship.

We hang out still and he has tried to kiss me several times and Im thinking about dating around again but I dont know how to tell him that Im gonna start dating. How should I do it? BTW, I have completely lost my romantical feelings for him. Is romantical a word? But anyhoo. What to do?

Stop being friends with him, you’ll just end up hurting him more, you should have to run it by your friends as to whether or not you’re gonna date someone, just let him go, it’s best for both of you in the long run.

But…hes my bestfriend. I cant just quit talking to him. I know he’d be mad at first but I think he’d rather be friends than nothing at all.

He doesnt love me we never got to that point in the relationship. We dated for about 10 months we’re not the kind of people to say I love you so soon. If he loves me in any form its in a care about you love not be with you forever love. Ive even asked him.

Point is, he’s trying to kiss you, he has feelings for you, if you date someone else he will be upset and offended, even if he says he’s got no problem with it, let him go be free with other women, make new friends

I want him to do that. When we were dating Id hope that he’d cheat on me so I wouldn’t feel bad but I finally broke up with him and now we’re friends he should be here at any moment. I sound like a horrible person. Im not trying to play him like a puppet.

Well, do the right thing, tell him you want to date other guys and you don’t want to be friends with him because other guys might think it’s wierd, it’s a lie but at least he won’t be asking himself why, just do it, after maybe years down the lin he will be grateful and then maybe you can be friends.

I think you should leave well alone because men have a tendancy not to understand what they feel doesnt make sense in all actuality its just not what they want to hear. You really can get hurt. Believe me when I tell you he thinks he has another chance and to say no he’s going to feel like your leading him on.
