Need some advice

I need some of your guys opinions or advice on a situation:

My g/f broke up with me about 2 months and we haven't really talked in a while. We were dating for almost 7 months and everything was great until the last couple weeks. I have dated a lot of girls and this is one of the first that I truely cared about. All of a sudden she changed and said she didn't want a relationship anymore. She was having problems in her life and acting really bitchy, so she didnt want to take it out on me basically. She told me she changed and that she wants to take a break. Everytime we used to talk after the break up, we would argue, so I stopped calling her. Even though we don't talk as much or hangout often, I still have feelings for her. I see her at work a couple times a week and we are friendly. I was at a point where I was like "Fuck it" and forget her, but I had something that changed my thinking last week. A HS friend who I havent seen in 2 years committed suicide and really changed my attitude. I kinda don't want to give up on her, even though she did on me and tell her how I feel, even though she might not want to hear it. What should I do?

A. Tell her my feelings .
B. Forget it.
C. Try and be friends with her.
D. Other

I'm sorry to hear that but your best bet is to forget it. If you try to be friends with her, you'll still have feelings for her and since she apparantly doesnt feel the same way about you, you're putting all your eggs in one basket with no chance of her reciprocating.

i.e. out of sight, out of mind. Try to move on and find someone that feels the same way about you as you do about her.

Definitely move on. You never know how things will work out, but if she seems disinterested then you're fighting a losing battle. Also, it's better to show a little independence.

Sorry to hear about your friend

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice guys. I saw her at the gym today and we were both friendly to each other. I might just ask her out on a date, if she says no, then it's her loss and I will not put forth anymore effort cause it's not worth it. I have been going out at the clubs downtown a lot lately and meeting girls here and there, so I am not sitting around waiting.

I don't think you should give up on it just yet. She may be thinking the same thing you are, but could be unsure of how to approach you about it (the same way you feel about her).

If she seems friendly towards you then ask her if she wants to hang out sometime. Don't call it a date, just say "Hey..wanna go to (insert place here) sometime?" How she reacts to the invite will tell you if you should pursue it any further.

In the meantime, have some fun. You should NEVER sit around waiting for a phone call. Bottom line: if you are meant to be together, you will find your way back to each other somehow. Dont' sweat it too much.

I will try what you said out and play it by ear. She wanted to do something the other day, but we never made firm plans. I always have to make the initiative in order to get together, so I dont know how she feels. A friend (who happens to be a long time family friend of my ex) at work said she thinks we will eventually get back togethter. I dont know, but I am not going to sit around waiting for it to happen.

if you haven't done it yet, i say...

"i just wanted to let the record show i care for you deeply despite what's happened, and i don't want to have any bad feelings about us, so if you don't feel you can have a relationship with me, that's ok, i understand, just know that if i had a choice, i'd want to be with you...and i'm sorry if this puts any pressure on you, but i just had to tell you how i felt deep down since life is too short to let things like this go unsaid"

or something similar

i think she'll appreciate something like that

i hope the outcome is good for ya

Well I tried and it didn't work. I asked her if she wanted grab something to eat last sunday and she agreed the day before and said she would call. I was almost positive she was going to blow me off, but I gave her a chance. Well she did, no biggie. We havent talked since and I don't really give her the time of day the every so often I see her at work. It is really awkward. I have been going out to clubs very frequently, which took my mind off her. Once you hook up with another girl it makes your ex a distant memory Maybe one day, we can be friends again, but probably not.

dude are you serious she has obviously moved on...especially if she was the one that intitiated the break-up. If you still like her the best thing you can do is forget about her and try to avoid her. She was obviously unsure about you and the 2 months seperated hasnt helped any...she is over you and wont just go back in a tunnel she just got outta of. The only way you have a chance is if your still fcukjng if not than believe me keep it moving cause your wasting your time...chicks are the ones that always want to get back together so if she hasnt said anything....trust me keep it moving kid...yout not the one.

dont believe me try the other approaches and come back and prove me wrong...been there dont that...not interested and used excuses to get outta of the relationship...steps that Ive done when not interested.

if your were the one she would make everything possible to stay together...no girl would want their boyfriend to start dating cause guys are willing to fuck any girl and she cant say shit...


keep it moving and dont step back not even to catch momentum

basically I'd forget about it and move on. As many of you guys know I dated and was engaged to her. All my family(grandma, mom, most everyone) never understood why we were getting married if we couldn't get along now.
Here to come find out(she even admitted to it) she was with me for the money.
At first the hurt is hell. I was with Sherri for 1.5 year. I called her the next day to talk to her (she still felt the same way). so i thought hell with her i'll move on.I'm young,handsome and pretty smart. so I'll have no problems getting a girl.
Now the next weekend my best buddy set me up with his g/f's roommate.
now we (Amy and I) been together for 6 months now.
now I look back at some of the stuff we fought about it was stupid Sherri was really controlling. So if your always fighting now just throw in the towel and move on.
